If you think that Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council has relented on his attacks on marriage equality since the SCOTUS ruling last year, you would be totally wrong. Here he is at what he calls his “State Of The Family Address.”
From JMG:
“National policies have sown confusion about the very definition of family. President Obama has extolled the virtues of fatherhood even as he has fought for same-sex marriage, in essence saying two same-gendered persons can parent as well as a mom and a dad. This contradictory message is more than disappointing. For our children throughout the country, it is devastating. It reduces mothers and fathers to genderless caregivers. Our children deserve better. They deserve a mom and a dad. And we pay a price for this incoherent, ideological campaign by havoc in our homes and blood in our streets.” – Hate group leader Tony Perkins, speaking last night at his “State Of The Family” address, where Kim Davis was the star attendee.
Just to set the record straight, there are numerous empirical studies out there which indicate that same-sex parents are just as effective and proficient in raising children as opposite sex parents. Love and stability are the major needs of children … not opposite sex parents. And, I certainly haven’t witnessed any blood on the streets of America over marriage equality. Have you?
