...maybe you shouldn't be a doctor. Just a thought.
As for Jessica's comments, you clearly have a lot of anger to deal with - could it be that it has more to do with your cousin's specific situation than gay parents in general? Because I have both friends and family who are gay parents with perfectly happy, well-adjusted kids, and on the whole, all evidence shows that children of gay parents are no worse off than their straight-parented counterparts. In fact, they may be better off, because straight parents often get pregnant unexpectedly, and wind up with kids they're not financially or emotionally prepared to raise. That doesn't happen to gay couples.
And all this hand-writing about "not having a father" is crap. How many kids out there are raised by a single mother on her own? You can't tell me someone with two loving parents, both female, is worse off.
