Even so, perhaps society's attitudes need to change. |
I think any amount of bullying can be overcome, and kids will always find something to pick on. But a kid getting bullied because he has two fathers, is going to get hurt that much more psycologically, I think. Not forgetting either, that as adopted children they've already had to deal with the rejection of their biological families. It's a lot to put a child through.
I don't doubt that gay couples love their children as much as any other parents, but this is something that is beyond their control.
