Why does anyone care?

No doubt this is for the children:

Focus on the Family, a Christian group that has provided crucial political support to President Bush, released a statement that criticized child rearing by same-sex couples.

“Mary Cheney’s pregnancy raises the question of what’s best for children,” said Carrie Gordon Earll, the group’s director of issues analysis. “Just because it’s possible to conceive a child outside of the relationship of a married mother and father doesn’t mean it’s the best for the child.”

Of all the issues in the world, this raises the question of what’s best for children? A reasonable person might respond that just because it’s possible to conceive a child inside of the relationship of a married mother and father doesn’t mean it’s the best for the child. A reasonable person might also ask Focus on the Family what makes them experts on how to best raise children. What is the ideal situation? Should we find the two most supreme married, heterosexual parents and award them custody of all children? They’re married, they’re straight, so they must be great.

Darwinism is true, but sometimes I wonder if it’s working as fast as it can.
