Same-sex Marriage Judge Finds That a Child Has Neither a Need Nor a Right to a Mother

U.S. District Judge Vaughn R. Walker, who ruled last week that a voter-approved amendment to California's constitution that limited marriage to the union of one man and one woman violated the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, based that ruling in part on his finding that a child does not need and has no right to a mother.
Nor, he found, does a child have a need or a right to a father.
"Children do not need to be raised by a male parent and a female parent to be well-adjusted, and having both a male and a female parent does not increase the likelihood that a child will be well-adjusted," the judge wrote in finding of fact No. 71 in his opinion.
"The gender of a child's parent is not a factor in a child's adjustment," the judge stated in finding of fact No. 70. "The sexual orientation of an individual does not determine whether that individual can be a good parent. Children raised by gay or lesbian parents are as likely as children raised by heterosexual parents to be healthy, successful and well-adjusted. The research supporting this conclusion is accepted beyond serious debate in the field of developmental psychology."

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but good homes for kids are just that, better than a state run orphanage, however, is this Judge rendering an element of activism?
It does contradict research I found...., it seems children brought up in a "traditional" upbringing do indeed do better.
Maybe I'm missing something.
Point being, research your local, regional, and State Judges...These folks don't go away, and are just itching for a Federal appt.
