Rob Tisani is working on an excellent point-by-point rebuttal to marriage equality foe Robert George. In his post on religious freedom, Tisani asks:
Will it harm children to place them with a couple who will openly condemn homosexuality?
Among his reasons for raising this question:
Our opponents have already accepted this thinking, whether they realize it or not. Their frequent argument against adoption by gays and lesbians? That it should be about the needs of the child, not the wishes of the adult. Surely, then, this applies not just to the wishes of gay and lesbian adults, but the wishes of homophobic ones, too. Either way, the needs of the child come first.
And can we please remember that many children are actually gay? And that gays and families are not mutually exclusive groups?
