Obergefell v. Hodges is about marriage equality. If parenting ability has anything to say about that, then there are a lot of other people who would be ineligible for marriage.

As a child of lesbians I can tell you first hand the only ‘negative psychosocial outcomes’ I had as a child did not come from members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community… I’ll give you two guesses who they did come from… but you will probably only need one.

While I grew up in the south, I was lucky to have grown up in my tribe’s reservation, in a small college town. While there was no shortage of people who would today be maga, there was also no shortage of people who had no tolerance for that bullshit.

Not everyone who is legally married in the LGBT+ community is a parent, or wants to be one. Maybe conservatives should monitor what's happening in their own house before telling the rest of us how to live life.

This sounds like a fine question to ask... so long as "raised by teh gays" is compared to "raised by parents who dont love each other" and "higher psychological outcomes" is strongly is controlled for "likelihood of admitting problems when they arrive."

It's almost certainly not, of course.

Who tf said my straight parents were any better?! Have you BEEN IN MY HOUSE?

Not seeing how marriage equality giving tax benefits to equal marriage, inheritance law, or preference is buying a home inherently links to child upbringing.

I'm sure they didn't consider that a bigoted society bears responsibility.

Of course conservatives will lie about "AI redeeming" a study whose sample group was completely biased. Why don't they just conduct another study? There are undoubtedly more examples of two parent LGBTQ+ households now. Could it be that they don't want to study it again because it won't give them the conclusion they want? That's not how science works, assholes.

In the mind's eye, an image forms. An alternate version of that segment from The Boondocks TV show.

A man pulls off his belt and raises it, standing over a small child. The child cowers. The man screams, 'I am about to ruin your ability to trust anyone or love yourself, ever again!' But then he stops, looks down at himself, and says 'Oh, wait. That's right. I'm straight. Come on, kid. Let's go get ice cream.'

I can tell you by experience that straight people make horrible parents

Today was my first encounter with "Greater Than". Holy fuck these nuts.

In today’s society, children are often treated as secondary—spoken for, negotiated over, or reshaped to serve adult priorities. Greater Than works from a different premise: children’s rights should not be overridden by adult feelings or desires.

It's so disgusting how they hide their bigotry behind children. It's not about the kids it's never about the kids. It's about chipping away the rights of everyone on white christian nationalism's enemies list. Out and thriving queer people, lgbtq families disproves all of their gender essentialism, it shatters divine patriarchy dominion, and loosens the control of the cult.

Good people must suffer so assholes can manipulate our stupider neighbors.
