Exploiting Children

Last month, advocates and opponents of same-sex marriage packed the New Jersey State House in Trenton, supporters in blue, opponents in red. Near the end of the day, Kasey Nicholson-McFadden took the microphone. “It doesn’t bother me to tell kids my parents are gay,” he said in a clear voice. “It does bother me to say they aren’t married. It makes me feel that our family is less than their family.”

Kasey is 10 years old. (Our emphasis) When the New Jersey State Senate voted against same-sex marriage on Jan. 7, he was devastated. “We tried to buoy him and say, ‘It’s another step in the process and it’s not over yet,’ ” said Karen Nicholson-McFadden, one of Kasey’s mothers. (NYT, 1/21/2010)

RedStateVT says: Let’s let adults argue the pros and cons of these social issues. By dragging a 10 year old child into the middle of the same-sex marriage debate, Kasey’s “mothers” prove they are unfit.
