Back in June of this year, I posted an article describing the inequalities of laws prohibiting same sex marriage, particularly as it impacts the children of same sex unions. On November 2nd 2011, abcnews.go.com, published a new article by Susan Donaldson James, “2 Million Kids Raised By Gay Couples Are at Risk, Study Says”, further substantiating the negative implications of laws prohibiting same sex marriage.
By keeping the practical implications of these Byzantine laws in the spotlight, we can educate and build awareness that innocent children’s lives are negatively impacted. The rights and needs of children cannot be neglected.
