HOW THE WASHINGTON POST PRESENTS THE SSM DEBATE TO KIDS

[Pretty interesting. From today's "KidsPost" page.]

Interview with a kid being raised by his mother and her lesbian partner: "Sometimes," he said, "I just think maybe people think I'm weird or different because of this."

If his parents and others like them could marry, he thinks, maybe people would see that his family is like any other.

Interview with Maggie Gallagher: Maggie Gallagher, who heads a group called the Institute for Marriage and Public Policy, which studies marriage and society, says that "every child has a birthright to know and be raised by their mother and their father." If same-sex marriages were made legal, kids would be deprived of that right, she said.

"It's important for a girl to have the opportunity to know and learn from a woman in her life. It's important for a boy to have a male figure in his life," Gallagher said.
