[quote=Anonymous]I suppose I don’t know what it’s like to tell a child you’re leaving because you fell in love with someone else, but my straight and gay friends who were in mixed orientation marriages say that their kids took it really well. When the issue is mixed orientation, there is no betrayal of the straight spouse. It is completely different. And it is great for kids to see their parents not suffer through a marriage just because our heteronormative culture demands it. Your friends saying their kids "took it really well" is not proof in any sense of the word. A man leaving his wife for another man or woman leaving her husband for another woman is a betrayal of the spouse that was left behind. You are using the "mixed orientation" term as a justification of the separation when just about any distinguishing factor (race, appearance) could be used in the same way. [/quote]
