This is in response to Kaitlin Harrington’s letter “Gays should get to marry, adopt.” She talks about the confusion of children who were raised by heterosexual parents when they encounter homosexuality.

I think this comment is completely one-sided. Doesn’t she think a child raised by same-sex parents will be confused when all of his or her friends have a mom and dad? It doesn’t make sense to have it one way and not the other.

The other key argument she had was letting homosexuals get married because the divorce rate between men and women is so high.

Anyone who thinks homosexuals will yield a zero percent divorce rate is nuts.

People get sick of each other, cheat and will get divorced no matter if it’s a same-sex marriage or not.

The point of my letter is not about whether or not homosexuals should be allowed to get married; it’s about how horrible an argument Kaitlin proposed.

All of the same problems will still exist if homosexuals are allowed to get married, so try to find an argument that actually supports what you’re standing up for.
