Two people of the same sex cannot create a child that is genetically their own. Arguments for same sex marriage seem to denigrate fathers and mothers as nothing more than sperm and egg donors.
And your argument denigrates those men and women who step up and raise the children whose biological parents wouldn't by saying that they are less important and less "real" than a couple of dumb teenagers who had too much to drink at a party.
I really have no idea what to say to this. The fact that anyone actually believes this and has zero respect or regard for parents rights is deeply frightening to me.
Nothing that anyone has said implies any disrespect or disregard for the honor of parenthood or the moral prerogatives of parents. The problem is that you are attaching that honor and those prerogatives in the wrong place, to people who have not accepted or lived up to the responsibility of parenthood. In so doing, you are giving a grave insult to rightful and honorable parents, and doing a grave disservice to their children.
Family is a matter of honor. Blood is naught but mere biology, an accident of nature fated to become dust.
