They just can’t help themselves. The Courant’s Sunday magazine yesterday ran another “needling” of FIC, its third since June:
Once again, a bunch of activist judges have rebuffed the Family Institute of Connecticut in its effort to save the state’s children from lives of misery and disadvantage caused by homosexuality.
Regarding Zingers, the NE feature with a sweet tooth for news items on FIC, scroll down to my June 19th post. As for Zingers’ mocking of our concern for children being raised in same-sex households, try telling it to Dawn Stefanowicz:
What was your childhood like?
My mother was seriously ill. I grew up with my homosexual father in Toronto. I was exposed to the “gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgendered” subcultures and explicit sexual practices. Even when my father was in what looked liked monogamous relationships, he continued cruising for anonymous sex, so I was at high risk of exposure to contagious STDs. Alcohol, drugs, gay bars and parties were common…
Do any incidents stick in your mind that you feel comfortable sharing?
We went to vacation spots that weren’t typical family places. One was a gay nude beach at Hanlan’s Point, Toronto, which often was raided by police, but now it’s legally “clothing optional.” By age 10, I was exposed to a sex shop and a gay cruising area. The boundaries between private and public sex were broken. There was cross-dressing, and gender-neutral aspects
It took about thirty years after the divorce revolution before the adult children of dissolved marriages could speak to the negative effect it had on their lives. As the interview with Stefanowicz shows, that pattern is likely to repeat itself with same-sex parenting. Zingers may not care, but our elected representatives should.
