There have been many infants born with both sets of sex organs and some who are born with none. There are newborns where the sex comes down to the choice of the parents to determine. “House” has many of these newborns where the parents choose sometimes the wrong organs to develop. When the babies reach puberty they often are seen as trouble. Why do we humans have to add unnecessary stress to a situation? There have been trouble when the parents are closely related. In the case of adoptions the mystery can be solved through the records of the birth.

Americans must be over the old buggaboo of having a child out of wedlock. My own grandmother found families for many babies who were declared out of wedlock and I remember questioning her about the birth records and got the old “we are all God’s children.” There was a case when one of the grandchildren of her secret adoption carried a bad gene involving the retina and the little girl went blind at a very young age.

Learning about the scientific structure of children can control some sad results. So allowing two people of the same sex to marry is nothing to worry about. What has happened is that the religious right forbids same sex marriages because they cannot breed. Why Americans continue to believe that we are all Christians is where the trouble starts.
