Another pregnant lesbian

Mary Cheney is pregnant and she and her partner though unable to get married will be raising a child. There are some rants and raves from the ex-gay, Focus on the family and such about how it is so horrible that a child will be raised outside of a heterosexual family. Yet every study shows that it isn't the gender of the parents, but having more than one parent that makes a difference. Dobson (see earlier posts on this for links) has misquoted Gilligan and Pelk, saying that they show heterosexual families are better, but even in the natural world instances like Roy, Silo and Tango show that the problem is not in the gender of the partners, but the lack of a partner in raising young.
