craved-male-stability-father-my-life

While speaking in Australia's Parliament against initiatives to legalize
gay "marriage," Millie Fontana, a donor-conceived child of lesbian
parents, said it is a "misconception" that all children reared by gays are
"stable and happy," and added there was not a moment in her childhood she
"did not crave that male stability and that father in my life."

When, at age 11, she finally met her father, it was "one of the happiest
days of my life," she said, because she saw her "heritage" and her "other
family" -- uncles, aunts, grandparents.

Fontana further said the push for "marriage equality" in Australia does
not mean equality for children, but solely "equality for adults." When "it
comes to marriage and how closely intertwined marriage is with child
reproduction, we cannot say yes to homosexual marriage without
invalidating a child’s right to both genders," she said.

Millie Fontana is a child's rights activist who often writes and lectures
about her own upbringing. She also is a contributor to Them Before Us, an
organization that defends the rights of children through social policy.

Attempts to legalize gay "marriage" have failed 22 times in Australia
since 2004. Milie Fontana, spoke in Australia's Parliament in November
2015 as part of the Voice 4 Kids Summit.

"The truth is that growing up with two mothers forced me to be confused
about who I was and where I fit in the scheme of the world," said Fontana,
then 23 years old. "And it became increasingly obvious as soon as I hit
school. You would see every other child embracing who they are on mother’s
or father’s day. They would be rejoicing and celebrating with their
parents and family members."

"And there I was sitting back and wondering what is wrong with me, and why
don’t I have that connection with my father?" she said. "Was he such a
bad person that that could not be facilitated for me? That is damaging."

She continued, "As time went on and the lies went on – you know, ‘you
don’t have a father,’ many different variations of just ‘you don’t have a
father’ and ‘you’re not allowed to see your father,’ and ‘ you have
another mother’ – as though that statement was enough to conceal the
emotions inside me and offer me stability. The reality is that it just
wasn’t enough."

"There’s not a moment I looked back and thought I did not crave that male
stability and that father in my life," said Fontana. "When I was at age
11, I was finally allowed to meet my father. It was one of the happiest
days of my life. I felt stable and at peace for what was probably the
first time in my childhood."

"I saw my future," she said. "I saw my heritage. I saw my other family.
That was something I am so grateful to have been given at such a critical
time in my development. And I cannot believe that LGBT is trying to push
an agenda that says my feelings were not important, and that what I needed
in order to continue as a healthy individual is not something – sorry.

It’s almost laughable because we put aside the political correctness, as
Katy said, and we look at it for what it is, which is child needs versus
adult desire."

“Somebody’s relationship should always be respected, whether it is
homosexual or heterosexual," said Fontana. "But when it comes to marriage
and how closely intertwined marriage is with child reproduction, we cannot
say yes to homosexual marriage without invalidating a child’s right to
both genders."

“This is not equality for children," she said. "This is equality for
adults. And the term ‘marriage equality’ actually offends me because
nobody is thinking about the consequence on the other side of the coin –
what comes out of that union? What comes out of it is us."

Earlier in her talk, Fontana said, "When people look at children of gays,
the misconception is straightaway that we are well-loved, and that we must
be stable and happy. The reason for this is the gay community is promoting
this ideology that ‘love is love,’ and that we don’t actually need any
biological roots at all to be parented well and to be well-adjusted and
happy."

"This has been incorrect for me and for many others," she said. "And the
promotion of this ideology has made it difficult for people in my position
to come forward and say what is actually going on behind closed doors for
us."

“The lie affects us in so many different ways," said Fontana. "We aren’t
welcomed to come forward and, ironically, to come out about who we are and
say that we don’t support this ‘marriage equality.’ We face rejection.
I’d go so far as to say we face demonization, in terms of some of us. It
is shocking that this minority has risen to the point of pushing us down
as the new age minority that is upcoming."

“I feel that the forced and deliberate separation of a child from a
biological parent, without a valid reason regarding welfare, is a form of
child abuse," said Fontana. "And that any kind of biological connection,
as long as it is not harmful to the child, should be facilitated wherever
possible."

“If you’re watching this or hearing this and you’re a child of my
circumstance, I encourage you to come forward and share your story because
in reality it needs to be okay for us to not be okay as children," she
said. "And if we say yes [to gay marriage] and are afraid of being seen as
homophobic, we are making it harder for future generations to say that
they are not okay."

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party has run out of gas.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for ending the disaster of the
Obama presidency.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.

Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
