    The problem with calling it a "natural family"

    Once again in an attempt to marginalize gay couples right-wingers have targeted other families as well. Their definition of "natural family" also excludes any children raised by anyone other than their biological parents. I hope this serves as a wake up call to "non-traditional" families everywhere-- stepfamilies, families with adopted children, single parents, or anyone raising children who aren't biologically related to them. This is about you too, they're saying that your family is "unnatural" too.
