Text Response 1

In the article "My Daughters Have No Mother" written by Max Mutchnick, the co-creator of the hit television show "Will and Grace", tells of his experiences and opinions about his children growing up with no mother. Mutchnick is a gay man, and together along with his partner have daughters that they were able to have using a surrogate mother. He also tells that he does not consider the surrogate an actual mother, but more like an "oven".

The author talks about how it is difficult to raise a child in an environment as such, seeing as it is not "typical". Society's view on this controversy is difficult on the family every day, especially for the children. Most of the opposition comes from people that believe that a child does not receive the correct kind of emotional and gender development that a child raised in a more typical environment would.

I disagree with any opposition to the two men raising children because of their genders. Now, if it was found that they weren't providing a stable home for them, then I would have a problem. However, I do not think they should be judged on their relationship with each other, but rather the relationship with their children.
