		<description><![CDATA[Research has shown that the more siblings a child has, the less successful they are likely to be in academic performance and other areas. Brian Brown has eight children - eight! He and his wife must divide their parenting resources up into eight tiny pieces. Factor in the the amount of time the extensive travel required by Brown&#039;s anti-gay lobbying keeps him away from home and you realize that each child is getting a fraction of the parental attention he or she needs. So I&#039;d ask Brian - what fraction of a child&#039;s biological mother and father&#039;s resources does he have a &quot;right to&quot;? Is it 1/8, 1/12, less? Is Brian actually going to stand there and suggest that a child who competes for 10% of her parents&#039; attention and resources is better off than her peer who gets 50 or 100% simply because her parents are straight and her peer&#039;s are gay?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Children do *not* have a right to a mother and father. Otherwise, divorce would be banned, giving your children up for adoption would be banned, single-parent families would be banned. I have yet to hear a speech from Brian Brown condemning (straight) single-parents on how they are depriving their children of the *other* parent. It&#039;s abundantly clear that NOM is simply using children as a means to demonize gay people.

This is aside from the fact that procreation has NEVER been a requirement nor an obligation in order to get married.]]></description>
