		<description>El Rose: &quot;Governments back male/female marriage because the MAJORITY of married heterosexuals do a pretty good job of raising kids.&quot;

The MAJORITY of homosexual couples with kids do a pretty good job of raising them, too. They also adopt a lot of kids who would otherwise be living in orphanages or foster care. The only difference is that those couples and their kids aren&#039;t afforded the legal protections of marriage.

&quot;There will always be those who do evil things.&quot; And the point is, as you said, hold those who do the accountable. Don&#039;t misguidedly punish an entire class of citizens over some perceived danger that doesn&#039;t in fact exist.</description>

		<description>I think the point is that homosexuals are less likely to abuse children than heteros are.</description>

		<description>I think the point is clear:
Look at all those evil married heterosexuals that hurt children.

Take a breath. Any adult (and sadly, even a 12 yr old boy) who behaves in an inappropriatge way and/or commits a crime against a child, needs to be held acountable.

There will always be those who do evil things. The reason same sex marriage is not a good idea is because traditional marriage has been the foundation of our society (societies comes from producing and raising offspring) and best course for raising children. Governments back male/female marriage because the MAJORITY of married heterosexuals do a pretty good job of raising kids.</description>

		<description>So, is this going to be a series, like &quot;every child deserves a mother and a father&quot; on SLOG?

I think I understand the point you&#039;re making, but perhaps its useful to make explicit what you&#039;re doing and why?

Are you highlighting married heterosexuals who endanger children? Or just documenting the worst failures of heterosexual marriage to encourage wholesome behaviour? 

Is you point: they mess up all the time why can&#039;t we have a go, or: heterosexuals are bad for children too, or: heterosexuals abusing children are worse than gays abusing children, or what?

Like I said, I THINK I know what you&#039;re doing, but I also think it&#039;s open to misinterpretation.

Keep up the good work though, BTB is great.</description>

		<description>This is a heinous story. I hope the children can get proper care from here on out. And I especially hope that the boy especially can learn appropriate behaviors and boundaries, that he is not stuck in this harmful way for the rest of his life.

Also, &lt;i&gt;Pennsylvania is one of only twenty states where they haven’t yet “protected” marriage from the gays.&lt;/i&gt;
Correction: We have a DOMA law prohibiting gay marriages within the state. A constitutional amendment was defeated last Spring in the state assembly, which may be what you were thinking of.</description>
