Prop 8 and Children

Protecting Marriage to Protect Children.

That's the name of an article written by a self-proclaimed liberal democrat that was published in the L.A. Times back in September.

If you haven't checked it out yet, go and do. It's a must-read about why Prop 8 is about children.

Marriage (and only marriage) unites the three core dimensions of parenthood – biological, social and legal – into one pro-child form: the married couple. Marriage says to a child: The man and the woman whose sexual union made you will also be there to love and raise you. Marriage says to society as a whole: For every child born, there is a recognized mother and a father, accountable to the child and to each other.
