We are senior citizens, a heterosexual couple with six children and 13 grandchildren.  Among our family and friends are parents of  all sexual orientations.   The children of the gay and lesbian parents in our family, several of whom are grown now, are absolutely as well adjusted and successful as the children of non-gay parents.  We are now seeing grown children raised by LGBT parents who prove this is not a problem.  Children need love and guidance and nurture and they should not be deprived of this because it might come from non-heterosexual people.  Please do not discriminate about this.
