You have a habit to keep talking out of both sides. Just say what you mean, and mean what you say.

Single parents have no partner at home to aid in the nurturing of a child. For the sake of argument, let's just say there isn't any sexual orientation with those people. Should they also not be parents because their lack of sexual orientation somehow affects their parenting skills?

Let's say that a single parent has been gay in the past, but is raising a child by him/herself without having a partner. Tell me how this person's parenting skills are any different than the single parent above based on their sexual orientation alone, in spite of having no relationship with anyone.

You're making me dizzy now.

Just say what you mean. Please.

If they aren't active in their proclivity toward the same gender, and it's not manifesting itself or influence into the children, that's a whole lot different than a child having two "daddy's"

Jeff, do you understand what parenting skills are? It's got NOTHING to do with your sexual orientation, in spite of what you keep saying. You are bringing in external situations and tying them into being a parent, but that's totally different than anything I've been trying to say.

My being a great cook doesn't make me a better parent than the person who burns boiling water.

My being good at math doesn't make me a better parent than someone who can't add more than two digits.

My being a nurse doesn't make me a better parent than a garbage man.

My being overweight doesn't make me a better parent than someone who is thin and exercises constantly.

My talkativeness doesn't make me a better parent than someone who is quiet.

My assertiveness doesn't make me a better parent than someone who is passive.

Now, do these external qualities I possess affect my children? Well, it should! Who we are affects everyone around us, but just because we possess those things doesn't make us a better or worse parent than someone who doesn't.

Still clearer than mud? LOL!
