To do well in this world, children need stability and to feel that they are loved.  Gay parents can provide this just as well as straight parents.  I urge the committee to enact anti-discrimination protections for gay parents.  Furthermore, there is no credible evidence that children raised by gay parents do any better or worse than children raised by straight parents.  Please let science be your guide, not religion or fear.  The science says that gay parents are just as good as straight parents.  Thank you for your consideration.
