Laughing at Suffering Children

Chad has a post at Clean Cut Kid called "Last Laugh?" about "unintended consequences" of measures to protect marriage from being hijacked by homosexuals.

I suppose if your goal is to undermine marriage and destroy families, then maybe homosexuals are having the last laugh. But I don't consider expanding the mess to be a laughing matter.

In the end, the examples cited simply illustrate the desperate need to uphold traditional marriage and families...from both heterosexual and homosexual underminers. I can't help but read about those cases and have my heart ache at the thought of the screwed-up childhood these kids are enduring.

This kind of anarchy causes not only emotional suffering for the adults involved, but the real damage is to the children who, while trying to find their way and understand the world around them, find those (their parents) who should be sacrificing to give them a stable environment instead hedonistically pursuing their own ends. And if the child ends up deprived of their mother or father, robbed of a normal upbringing, and playing the role of pawn between two people who are too selfish to put anyone or anything ahead of themselves...then I guess that's just the price to be paid for self actualization.

So if you don't mind a generation of confused, emotionally damaged children who will breed consecutive confused, damaged children, then keep it up. If your own selfish desires are worth a dysfunctional society full of angry people, and the resultant crime and lost productivity, go ahead and continue putting yourself ahead of innocent children.
