"Can you imagine what your life would have been like without your mom? It’s almost impossible to imagine."

Actually, "Cathy", it's not that difficult to imagine. Some time-travelling murderer (God? Satan? One of those guys) went back and took away my kids' mother, without their permission, when they were 1 and 4. And I can tell you how they feel about that "violation of their rights". They don't like it. I don't like it either, but we've somehow bumbled along for twenty years, and there are encouraging signs that they're going to turn into human beings.

Along the way, we tried being a (hetero) step-family. Sadly, that didn't work out, because you know what other type of person (other than teh homo) can't be guaranteed to successfully replace a mom? (Ans: A woman, even one with the best of intentions).

So, no, it is hardly impossible to imagine life without mom, or that lives without mom will have all kinds of outcomes, just like life with mom.

Hell, I just wanted Sebastian Cabot Lodge to read me bed-time stories in that wonderful voice.

"I am a lawyer"

So is Orly Taitz. In fact, has anyone seen Orly Taitz and Cathy Ruse in the same room at the same time?

It's irresponsible not to speculate.

But THE LORD could magically knit your epididymi back together and allow your wife to have a baby at 90 like Sarah, so it still totally counts! (Isn't that the actual argument. "Argument"?)

Dear Wonkette, I got married rather late in life plus I got a vasectomy even though the risk of my wife getting pregnant was extremely small. Am I gay married? Signed, Confused Hetero.

Single Dads Represent!

The Shypixel raised two fine young men by his lonesome self, one a sailor, the other a physicist (aspiring).

You are right though, they probably have no imagination...

I know, I thought of that after I posted.

In fact, I am a 52 yr old ladyparts possessor, so why am I laughing at a 14 yr old boy joke? and yet I do. Ironically, it is the middle of the school day for me, as I am a teacher, but in my defense, I was eating my lunch.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest children have been raised by one or two gay parents since the dawn of time.

Does that Supreme Court Justice think gay folks were just invented - after the Internets and iPhones?

Yes. You are triple dog gay married. No backsies.

Also: Cooties.

True fact: Staci Keanan's real name is Anastasia Sagorsky. Obviously, she was a Soviet plant to undermine the moral fabric of America.

I'm a bit tired of the argument that this is the way marriage has been for thousands of years.

Slavery is thousands of years old. Does that make it OK?

<i>Only moms count. Straight moms. Who are married. To men.</i>

Who also happened to create all the gay people they're now trying to make go away. I somehow missed the Biology Class that explained that gay people came from gay parents.
