So, the interviewers take a look at lives that they've put in a fish bowl, and tap on the glass. They "seek" to serve them, yet their actions exploit these lives for their own means.
Echoes of Elian - 10 years later.
I wonder if the interviewers are heterosexual and have children of their own, and does this give them pause - for they are then lesser parents as they imply.

The fundamental problem is that the "journalists" cannot shake their preconceived notions about family, the difference between sex and gender, nor what society deems "normal." There is a complete lack of respect for the queer community, and for this intelligent young woman who was generous + patient enough to entertain these insensitive, leading questions that were rooted in ridicule as well as a 1950s gender binary.
The interviewers clearly haven't done their research, nor seemed equipped to talk about the subject, let alone converse. Why aren't "straight" parents being judged, studied, put behind a zoo? Children come in all shapes, forms, gifts, talents. As do families. But let us not forget the extended network that raises a child- beyond godparents, aunts, uncles teachers, society and media are equally responsible for creating a better, more possible world that celebrates love, tolerance, and diversity.

Everyone should be biased for gay marriage. Those that aren't shouldn't have one and let others live their lives.

Thank god others found it horrible but I did for other reasons - its obvious bias for gay marriage. The final conclusion - gay marriage is equal in every way to hetero marriage PLUS it has more equality thus leading to the conclusion that gay marriage is BETTER than hetero marriage! The female host [[ Comment edited. Disagreement is fine, but no personal attacks. -Eds ]] asks whacko questions and is so agenda ridden its like listening to Bill O'Reilly/Limbaugh's shadow in the morning. KILL THIS SHOW!!!!!!!!

This piece was awful, sexist ,and completely asinine. And totally unfortunate, because it's an important topic that deserves thoughtful, informative reporting -- not puerile questions about whether fathers can give make-up advice to their daughters.

I couldn't agree more with Seaman Drake. I have been avoiding this show but couldn't get my usual fallback station to come in on the radio this morning, so was just in time to hear this pathetic excuse for "journalism." The teen interviewed had more poise and spoke more intelligently than either of the interviewers. "Are two dads just as annoying as a mom and dad?" "Are your boyfriends intimidated by your having two dads?" It was beyond juvenile, it was sexist, it even verged on homophobic. It was also disrespectful to your guests. Worst of all it was completely unimaginative. It showed no careful thought, no preparation, not even the most basic understanding that the world has lots of different families and most of us who listen to public radio don't need to have them displayed for us as if they were weird new species of animals in a zoo.

If this is the best this show can do on a topic that had lots of potential for intelligent discussion, it should be cancelled immediately.

This was one of the worst Takeaway pieces I have heard yet. The subject was interesting, but the interviewing was atrocious. Why didn't you you drop the leading questions and ask the poor child the lowbrow dirt you were really pushing for - "which one of your dads plays 'mommy'?" Disgusting. The whole interview was sexist and stupid rather than intellectual. This show has not improved since it went on the air and it needs to be canceled to restore honor to public radio.
