Moral High on What Ground?

You Sometimes Have to Wonder What the people taking the so called moral high ground are smoking. Take for instance this insistence that children of gay households are worse off than heterosexual households therefore gay marriage is bad. Compared to what? Group orphanages? Homeless heterosexuals with street kids living from shelter to shelter? Homes where parents are drug addicts or alcoholics fighting insanely all the time? Homes emotionally destroyed by adultery? Broken homes of divorced heterosexuals bouncing from mom's house to dad's house with step-parents who hate them? Homes where bickering replaces warmth of heterosexual nasty people? Homes of heterosexuals where no spouse works so they live off government cheese and diet coke and don't know the meaning of the word 'vacation'? Kids should be aborted instead of in homes run by homosexuals? Seriously, who is the control group? Two loving stable responsible people who love their chidden and provide for them can provide a home for a child no matter their gender. Gay people who love children provide a better home than heterosexuals who love themselves more than their children. You think heterosexuals can't be crazy or unstable or provide chaos? The absurdity of the argument is just one more instance of republican morality trying to be better than you and me because they have some divine insight dictated by Republican party platform politics. They live in some unreal idealized world that does not exist. Do they know that 'single sex' priests living with other priests have adopted children who otherwise would be orphaned? Its hard not to call these sorts of moralizing republicans idiots. It's really hard.
