Eugene Delgaudio: Minn. Legislature Collapses On the Record--Can Not Answer 11-Year-Old's Question: "Which Parent Do I Not Need - My Mom or My Dad?"
Eugene Delgaudio president of Public Advocate says "Sometimes, each of us has to stop for a moment, and answer some simple question which has come up in our minds. The answer can sometimes cause us to radically alter our course of action.
Delgaudio says "If no one in the Minnesota Legislature can answer a simple question from an 11 year old child then they need to re-examine their service in public office. This is a simple question, which should nonetheless provoke a serious response."
Fred Lucas of CNSNews.com reports:
" Minnesota state legislators considering a same-sex marriage bill for the state did not have an answer to an 11-year-old girl's question on which parent is not needed.
"Since every child needs a mom and a dad to be born, I don't think we can change that children need a mom and a dad. I believe God made it that way," Grace Evans, 11, said before the Minnesota House Committee on Civil Law last week. "I know some disagree, but I want to ask you this question: Which parent do I not need - my mom or my dad?"
She paused for eight seconds as the legislators on the committee sat silent.
Evans then said, "I'll ask again, which parent do I not need - my mom or my dad?" She paused again, this time for 13 seconds of silence from state lawmakers.
Evans concluded, saying, "I hope that you can see that every child needs a mom and a dad. Please don't change your law on marriage to say otherwise."
Nevertheless, the House committee voted in favor of the gay marriage bill and sent it to the full House. A similar bill is also before the state Senate.
