Tyranny of the Majority

How much time, effort and money have Christians spent defending marriage and opposing gays as adoptive parents?

Then consider, for a moment, that according to The National Center for Family Homelessness, at least 1.35 million children are homeless during a year’s time.

Let's get to the heart of the matter -- what about homeless gay teens? How many of them are there? According to this article, in 1999 ABC's news program 20/20 reported that roughly 63,000 gay teens are kicked out of their homes each year by their parents.

Here's an idea: stop defending marriage -- frankly, it doesn't need to be defended. And stop fighting to prevent gays from adopting -- same-sex partners can create a safe, stable and healthy environment for raising children. Then take all of the money that you would have spent and help those 1.35 million homeless children.

Here's another idea: let's find those 63,000 gay teens that are thrown away by their upstanding Christian parents each year. Then match them with married gay couples who want to be adoptive parents and can provide a loving and accepting home with positive role models.

It'll never fly -- it makes too much sense.
