So let's look at a few facts.

There are 13.6 million single parents in this country raising 21.2 million children, or 26% of all children in this country reside in single parent households.
79% of custodial single mothers are gainfully employed
50% work full time, year round
29% work part-time or part-year
27% of single mothers live in poverty

I could go on with lots of disturbing statistics, but the question is, is it better to have 2 parents of the same sex living and contributing to the rearing of children in the household, or 1 parent household trying to earn a living and raise a child?

I know what side I pick.
