This will tell you everything you need to know about the the way some Christian conservatives think:

Carrie Gordon Earll, a policy analyst for the conservative Christian ministry Focus on the Family, expressed empathy for the Cheney family but depicted the newly announced pregnancy as unwise.

"Just because you can conceive a child outside a one-woman, one-man marriage doesn’t mean it’s a good idea," said. "Love can’t replace a mother and a father."

Think about that for a minute. In the eyes of these people, a dysfunctional, even abusive, heterosexual marriage where both parents hate each other and beat their kids is preferable to a home with two same-sex parents who love each other and their child.
