Sometimes whats best might not be whats PC.

Okay, three things. First, given that there isn't a lot of data on children of gay households, what are children from a mother/father home better
than? Single parent households? I've no doubt two parents are better than one, if only because it increases the chances the child will have a parent around for guidance and support more of the time.
Second, you're right, sometimes what's best might not be what's PC. It also might not be what's always been, i.e., all of human recorded history.
Last, you missed the main point of my statement. Why do you have to dress up your prejudice as a desire to help the children? Mrs. Lovejoy you're not. Why aren't you out campaigning tirelessly for the rights of abused children, or poor children, or undereducated children? Why do you only care about them when they might be raised in a household not fettered by ignorance and bigotry?
