[quote=Anonymous]I swear, I am NOT trying to start some kind of uf ugly discussion.. I’m just truly curious as to how to respond today.

I am friends with a female same sex couple. With today being mother's Day, of course there are the requisite quotes about how awesome mothers are, etc. 
But, their posts have taken a weird turn, proclaiming with all kinds of hashtags that having two mothers is winning the lottery, it’s the only way to be happy, fathers suck, two mothers is better than one mother/one father, etc.

I understand this couple stuggles to have their child, and I know they have so many battles against them, but I’m finding today’s message off putting to say the least. That being said, they are accompanies by adorable pics of their baby, and I half want to like them, but I don’t agree with the divisive message.

I asked another (same sex/male) couple that we know what they felt, because they don’t outwardly display this kind of message, but I was wondering if they felt the same way.

How do I respond today? I want to “like” the pics of the baby and support the fact that they are two wonderful mothers, but I’m not keen on the “mothers are better than fathers” message. Like I said, I’m in a normal hetero relationship, and I have a few same sex male parent friends.

Is it better to ignore? Let it go today and say something tomorrow? Like the baby pics for the sake of it? Again, I am supportive and care for these people, but I also do t usually support ANY of my friends when they are obnoxious. I’m trying to be sensitive, but I also don’t agree with their posts
