The Church's statement needs to do some back tracking here......"While having one mother is a blessing, having two mothers or two fathers is confusing for the child and detrimental to her well-being..." and that implies that families like my own (Hetero, with adopted children who have two mothers, and two fathers) are some how unfit and damaging to children. Let's face it, there are multiple other situations in today's families that would include children having the love and nurturance of more than one mother or father, and that should not be labeled as bad. As far as the church's position on gay marriage...whatever. You have the right to believe what you will in your religious setting, but the reality is, that all citizens of our country should be entitled to the same rights and privileges under the LAW.
