I completely agree - a family is a component of individuals who love and support each other. They do not judge each other, except in terms of quantity and quality of love. There are so many children in the foster system that want to be a part of a loving family, any loving family. As long as the adoptive parent(s) can provide a child a loving, stable, emotional supportive home rich in intangibles what does it matter with whom they share their adult relationship. I have several m/m couples as friends. One in particular was married and had 2 wonderful sons. After separating from his wife because of his revealing his homosexuality he met and fell in love with a wonderful man. They have been together nearly 30 years and together raised (thanks to joint custody) my friends two sons. They are now proud, VERY proud, grandparents. I think Rosie nailed it on the head when she asked if Mike Huckabee's viewpoing was pious. I believe Mr. Huckabee's beliefs prevent him from accepting anything outside his view of 'normal' with a mother and a father raising children. If this was our culture's realistic view we wouldn't have deadbeat dads - which are typically heterosexual men. Huckabee needs to open his eyes and recognize that the word parent as described by Miriam-Webster is "a person who brings up and cares for another". No where does it say it has to be a man and a woman - it says person. It makes no difference as to the person's skin color, religion, or romantic partner, in the eyes of a child when they look up at a person that loves them. I believe anyone who can love, support, care for, nurture and raise a child to become a good, caring, productive member of society deserves to have a child.
