I'm with you on separation of powers.

I'm OK with Civil Unions that offer the standard power-of-attorney and inheritance benefits without necessarily adoption rights.

All other things being equal, I think opposite-sex parents are better than same-sex parents, while recognizing that things aren't ever equal and sometimes the best option available to a particular child is a same-sex-parent household. I am opposed to surrogate motherhood (whether or not the couple requesting the surrogate is same or opposite sex) as it is exploitive and potentially financially coercive.

But despite the repeated autistic talking points of morons who can't acknowledge the nuances of difficult social issues, it is still better to have adults financially responsible to each other than it is to wash your hands of a whole class of people and let them fuck themselves mindlessly into oblivion.

All good points. I’m on two minds in relation to the marriage debate: 1) civil marriage for both opposite sex couples and same sex couples, and 2) no civil marriage at all, with marriage an exclusively religious institution and civil unions for opposite sex and same sex couples who cannot marry in the church or the mosque.

Adoption should be a case by case basis. Opposite sex couples are generally better than same sex couples when it comes to raising children, but that’s mostly because most straight parents are raising their biological children. Nothing can beat being raised by your birth parents, unless they are dead or are supremely fucked up. But when it comes to adoption or guardianship, I’d say same sex couples are just as good as opposite sex couples in general, but it depends on the couple, the child and the environment.

Surrogacy should be banned for all couples and individuals. A child needs his birth mother for the first six months of his life. Surrogacy deprives the child of that. I hope more countries make it illegal.
