Gay and Lesbian Families
There is a lot of love to go around, none so truer than for any family unit that works to be good for one another. This happens regardless of a parent's sexual preference, and yet, many traditionalists want to define the family as solely a heterosexual unit, without recognizing anything else. This collection of essays exposes readers to both sides of the debate. Topics include whether gay parenting puts children at risk, whether gay adoption should be accepted, and how society needs to support gay families through acceptance for the betterment of itself.
