I’ve spoken to and/or cataloged the stories of more than 100 children with same-sex parents. These two children will likely:
- Hunger for paternal love, gravitate toward coaches, and overstay their welcome at the homes of friends who have dads. Some will be so desperate for male connection that they become easy targets for predators.
- Feel guilty for wanting a dad in a community that endlessly repeats that they are “so lucky to have two mothers.”
- Struggle with questions of identity, wondering whether every man they pass on the street could be their father.
- Wrestle with questions of self-worth: Why didn't my father want me? Why did he sell me?
And when these children are sad, angry, or struggling, our culture and courts will tell them that the loss of their father was the price of admission for a new adult "civil right."
That’s why we must
