Abandoned but Not Alone

I find Oliphant's argument reasonable because no child should be left behind. Every child is unique and will grow up the way they want to with the guidance of parents. Just because your child is gay, lesbian, transgender ect, does not mean they should be shunned from your life or left behind. If you look at great musicians and artists, a lot of them were gay and they flourished in life. The child should not be in harm because the parents do not want a son or daughter to like the same gender. The child is still a child and should not be treated differently than a straight child.
