It was reported in early May that children of gay parents are speaking out as the Supreme Court considers the legalisation of same sex marriage in Tennessee, Michigan, Ohio and Kentucky.
Two daughters of women filed a ‘friend of the court’ brief stating that their childhood living situation caused them harm. Heather Barwick and Katy Faust wrote: ‘While we love and cherish our mothers, we feel it's imperative that we bring to the court's attention the impact that redefining marriage will have on children like us.
‘Violating children’s rights’
‘We oppose gay marriage on the grounds that it violates children’s rights and cannot provide children with the most foundational building blocks for child development – a mother and father living with and loving them.’
