"The idea that there is something so wrong with same-sex households that
it would be preferable for these children to go two or four or six years
without permanent parents — an idea, again, that has little to no
evidence behind it, and that is in fact contradicted by most of the
evidence — bespeaks a homophobia so deep that it is hard for me to
believe it could persist long among people who actually know any
children in the foster system, and who actually know many gay couples.
[snip] The answer to Kagan’s question is that gay marriage doesn’t harm
traditional marriage. But the answer to Scalia’s retort is that he’s got
it precisely wrong: Gay marriage is good for children in the foster
system." -
Ezra Klein,
reacting to Justice Scalia's claim that there is "considerable
disagreement" among sociologists regarding children adopted by gay
parents.
