A pro-family activist who works to expose the truth about homosexuality says it's outrageous that the "son" of two lesbian women would use the Democratic National Convention to praise a deviant lifestyle.
Zach Wahls told the Democratic National Convention last week that his parents are lesbians who love him as much as a mother and father could. The 20-year-old said he was surprised at how many Americans seemed to feel threatened by same-sex relationships, and he rejected the contention that children need both a mother and a father, insisting all they really need is a loving family like his.
Peter LaBarbera, founder and president of Americans for Truth about Homosexuality (AFTAH), says this type of propaganda does not substitute for reality.
"Sometimes these gay activists, they think just saying it makes it true -- sort of like the way homosexual activists used to say that ten percent of society was gay," he remarks. "That was a lie, and this is a lie. It is a lie to say that a child that is raised by two mommies, supposedly two lesbians, is raised in a normal family. That is a lie."
LaBarbera decides that hauling this young man out at their convention only reinforces the proof that the Democratic Party is morally bankrupt.
"It's shocking to see how far the Democratic Party has fallen," the AFTAH president tells OneNewsNow. "Now they're celebrating homosexuality at every turn. Unless the Democratic Party turns course, they're going to lose a lot of people who don't want to embrace these radical social values."
But LaBarbera is thankful that the Republican platform is in stark contrast to the Democrats, supporting traditional marriage between one man and one woman.
