It’s obvious that mothers and fathers bring something different and diverse to the table. This is not just an assumption but an indisputable scientific fact, backed by years of research and millennia of human experience. Indeed, over 350 studies from over a dozen nations confirm the importance of a household with both parents present.

When looking at any indicator, from general happiness to professional success to educational achievement, the essential need for a child to have the input of a mother and a father is demonstrable and unmistakable.

A child has a right to a mom and a dad. If she cannot have that because her parents are dead or otherwise out of the picture, and she is waiting to be adopted, then the next best option is for her to be taken in by a new family where the father role can be filled by a man and the mother role by a woman. What is natural and intended should be re-created, not subverted or replaced by something disordered and disorienting.

Of course, some children don’t have both parents because they live in single-parent homes. Whether by death or divorce or abandonment, they are left with just their mother or their father. These children are not doomed, obviously, and their lives can still be extremely happy and fulfilling, but nobody would call this an ideal scenario.

The point is, no matter what, all kids—everyone, all people, everywhere, forever—have an innate longing to be connected with and raised by both a male and female parental figure. Preferably, these figures would be their biological progenitors. But if this cannot be the case, then ideally they’d have another male and female to fill that void.

The confusion sets in when a child does not have, say, his father around, and then another female separate from his mother comes in to take up that position. The kid will still long for that male influence, and the more that it isn’t fulfilled by his mom’s female lover, the more bewildered and disturbed and guilty he will likely feel. At least if he had a single mom, nobody would tell him that he shouldn’t desire a male role model. But the children of gay couples are told every day, whether explicitly or implicitly, that they should be perfectly happy with two moms or two dads.

Gay couples, on the other hand, do not have a right to be parents, because kids are not property or fashion statements. Kids have rights. And among them is the right to not be tossed into the middle of a social experiment that tinkers with the most fundamental characteristics of the family. They have a right to a stable home life. It may be true that heterosexual unions often end in divorce these days, but the answer is to strengthen those unions, not abandon them. Besides, whatever the divorce rates say, the fact is that gay couples, particularly men, are very often not monogamous. Although infidelity occurs among straight couples, among gay couples it is part of the lifestyle.
