Children raised apart from the care of both natural parents consistently experience lower developmental outcomes. Traditional natural marriage—a lifelong, exclusive sexual union between man and woman—benefit children by establishing strong conditions that promote such care. More than any other family arrangement, natural marriage assures to children the care of their own mom and dad. Alternative family forms impair this natural benefit, and homosexual parenting assures its absence.
