Dear Sirs: I am a mother or four ages 11 to 3. I've seen my children develop and I am positively sure that children need to be raised by a mom and a dad. ( heterosexual marriage) we come from a man and a women, we need both to thrive as people. Dads support girls selfesteem, moms the boys´. It would be unfair to deprive less fortunate children of such a family, they are not lucky don´t screw their lives more please!
