‘Two-Father’ Homes Aren’t Good for Children

All societies evolve, but when we have “evolved” to the point where we can no longer recognize or accept reality – because of some arbitrary political and societal rules imposed upon us by an out-of-touch class of elitists – can our decline and fall be much further behind?

Over the weekend President Barack Obama, already identified in many circles as perhaps the most left-wing of all our presidents, recognized Father’s Day during his Saturday morning radio and Internet address. In doing so he praised equally all sorts of fatherhood – the traditional father-and-mother model; the single-father model; guardianship-style fatherhood; and, finally, “two-father” homes.

By praising “two father” homes on Father’s Day, Obama was, of course, voicing approval for, and agreement with, children being raised by homosexual partners – a position not supported by sound scientific research, as well as plain old common sense.

Obama’s galling comparison notwithstanding, some fathers in a mom-and-dad household are far from perfect – I should know because I was one of the less than perfect. And not all mother-and-father households are the picture of wholesome goodness. But overall, they are much better suited to raising balanced, well-adjusted kids than are “two father” or, for that matter, two-mother, homes.

And that doesn’t even take into account the sinful nature of homosexuality, which is another societal issue in and of itself. But the fact is the order of living things on this planet is prefaced on male-female procreation and interaction; male-male and female-female interaction is simply outside the norm of behavior, human and otherwise, because it isn’t conducive to survival of the species.

And since it’s not the norm, it only follows that those forcefully exposed to it – like children of two-daddy homes – are subjected to a range of mental and behavioral issues they otherwise wouldn’t have to, and shouldn’t have to, deal with. In fact, homosexual couples who subject children to their lifestyles because they think it’s their right to do so are being incredibly selfish; children exist in a social environment that is tough and unforgiving enough. Making them do so as children of homosexual parents, in a world where most kids have mommies and daddies, is cruel – not “enlightened” or “progressive.”

Yet here is our president not only recognizing the phenomenon of homosexual households with children but actually praising them, as if there isn’t a dime’s worth of difference between homosexual and heterosexual lifestyles. There is ideology and there is reality, and seldom the two meet. And truth is truth; it never changes, regardless of how much certain self-righteous factions wish it would.

Obama’s might be the politically correct position, as it were, but in the real world it is the wrong position. Worse, if we as a people can’t recognize this and other simple and obvious truths because we’re too afraid of what self-anointed people think of us, then we are on an unsustainable path as a society.

If consenting adults want to choose homosexuality as a lifestyle, fine – but let’s leave the kids out of the equation.
