Summary

This quote suggests that marriage has traditionally been defined as the union between a man and a woman in Western civilization for thousands of years. The argument here is that research overwhelmingly supports the idea that children benefit from having both a mother and a father. The implication is that any deviation from this traditional model may negatively impact the upbringing and well-being of children.

I wasn't sure about that, but one never knows. Sometimes a neighborhood, like a culture or civilization, is strong enough to absorb and acculturate any number of newcomers.
