Why?
You keep saying that, but I don't to see *why* it's obvious. Can you spell out
the real advantages of 1 man/1 woman? What, exactly, does it have over other
unions that makes it the superior way of raising children?
My experience with children to date is that gender isn't that big of deal until
later. Even then, I'm not 100% convinced that it would have as big an impact.
Early development seems to relies more on a caring, nurturing environment than
the actual sex of the caregivers.
