Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon poses here with the newborn baby of her lover, Christine Marinoni. The Daily Mail refers to the baby, who was born last week, as the couple’s son, expecting readers to swallow nonsense whole and slide down the rabbit hole of artificially-created insanity without raising the slightest objection or cry for help.
Nixon, who plays an emotionally sterile wife in the Sex and the City movie, says, “I’m just a woman in love with another woman.”
Despite her madonna-like pose in this photograph, Nixon is a typical anti-mother of our times, a person who has violated the most basic terms of motherhood.
Homosexual “parents” are similar to the Baba Yagas of ancient fairy tales who stalked children in the woods. They may not have pointy noses or broomsticks. They may not live in tiny cabins surrounded by fences made of human bones. But they are just as hostile to the young, snatching away their innocence and security, stealing them from their tiny cradles. Deliberately to deprive a child of a father, to arrange his conception the way one might arrange a major purchase, to raise him in a home without a man, cut off from half his kin and exposed to the shame of having two “mothers,” is nothing less than child abuse.
What has happened to the hearts of lesbians? They are shriveled and turned to stone.

So according to you, any woman with sons who loses her husband should have them taken away because there will be no man in the family?
My brothers, whos father is dead, would like to have a word with you. Never mind the baseballbats, they are just going to be used to beat the shit out of you...
Stop trying to think and get back to making me a sammich, woman! Geez, you turn your back for a minute and they start expressing their opinions on the computer like the sinful, disobedient harlots that they really are.
Note: I don't actually think a woman's place is in the kitchen but these are fundie housewives we're talking about here.
The entire site is a parade of crazy.

Basically, if she was, it's her fault for going there, and her employer's fault for sending her. Then there's this: "The sadder part of the story is a woman leaving her toddler to pursue her career." I can barely even begin to fathom these people.
"... and this must be Laura Wood's spoon!" - Baba Yaga Spindleshanks.
Please return to the fantasy world from whence you came, and close the door after you. Please also refrain from attempting to drag us in there with you in the future. Thank you.
This is worse than your average homophobia. There is obvious misogyny in here too, since Laura is going on and on about how having two mothers is a horrible thing. I actually don't think that if a male homosexual couple did something like ths, that she would claim that they're "anti-fathers" or something like that. Her main objection here does not seem to be that the couple is gay, but that the child will not be raised by a father. There also seems to be some hatred directed towards the child for daring to be conceived by artificial insemination, but I might be overanalyzing this.
"What has happened to the hearts of lesbians?"
Coronary artery disease, I think.
"The Thinking Housewife?" What the heck are they thinking about?
"What has happened to the hearts of lesbians?"
They're just blood-pumps, nothing more. Exactly like those that all other human beings, especially women, that exist possess; even yours , Laura.
So Cynthia Nixon is a lesbian who is a mother. And... this impacts, nay, affects you personally, exactly... how ?
Newsflash, pal: Elton John, David Furnish, and their son Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John.

In the grand scheme of things, this gay couple - just like the aforememtioned lesbian couple, affects me personally this much:
Zero.
As with messrs John & Furnish, Mrs. Nixon & her spouse will raise their children the best way possible: untainted by the vile poison of fundie thinking.
Do you even know the story of Baba Yaga? She doesn't "snatch away innocence," she fucking EATS you. And she doesn't have broomstick, she has a house that walks on chicken legs. Seriously, actually read the stories you reference before you try to moralize based on them.
And judging by your words, you're totes cool with two-dad families? At least those kids have a male influence, right?
Congratulations Laura Wood for one of the most venemous, vindictive and hateful pieces.
As to the 'shame' of having two mothers, there is no such thing except in the twisted minds of homophobes. And the introduction of the Baba Yaga element gives a wonderful insight into the workings of Laura Wood's mind.
Babies, particularly those under 1 years old, need a father to help raise them. After all, men are capable of beating a baby far harder than a mere woman. And babies definitely need to be soundly walloped by someone stronger than a woman. It's the only way the baby will learn to be a robotic slave to authority and violence. Of course, you needn't worry about the child's poor mental health in later life, Jesus will sort that out. Insanity and poor mental health are His specialities.
" to arrange his conception the way one might arrange a major purchase,"
So, let me get this straight ( no pun intended )... These women make the deliberate choice to have a child, while putting full attention into the question of whether or not they are prepared, financially and emotionally, for the major undertaking of raising a child...and that makes them horrible people bent on the downfall of civilization?
Just what is your ideal scenario, anyway...a fifteen year old getting knocked up because she doesn't know any better and being forced to drop out of school and marry the father who will then spend the next couple decades squeaking by on a series of dead end, minimum wage jobs because he hasn't finished high school either?
So by your logic single moms of boys should... what? Give them up for adoption? Find a man, ANY MAN!, to help raise them?
Pull your head out of your ass and realize that a) the nuclear family is a crock of shit.
b) uncles, grandparents, family friends, teachers etc can (and do) easily act as male role models for young boys (and girls).
Deliberately to deprive a child of a father, to arrange his conception the way one might arrange a major purchase, to raise him in a home without a man, cut off from half his kin and exposed to the shame of having two “mothers,” is nothing less than child abuse.
They will love him, care for him, and tend to his basic needs. They aren't incapable of that just because one of them doesn't have a penis. If having two parents of opposite gender was all that mattered, the Ramseys would have been ideal parents.
"What has happened to the hearts of lesbians? They are shriveled and turned to stone."
Wow, I'm assuming you'd be a pro-birther, right? Interesting outlook on childbirth there buddy
"What has happened to the hearts of lesbians?"
Nothing. My experience has been that they care just as much about others as anyone else
"They are shriveled and turned to stone.
"
I could say the same for many Christians
What has happened to the hearts of lesbians? They are shriveled and turned to stone.
Kinda like your heart and brain, you mean?
"What has happened to the hearts of lesbians? They are shriveled and turned to stone."
Yes, how dare they provide a safe, loving comfortable home for a little boy.
Baba Yaga also ate the children she stole. Are you saying that lesbians eat children? If not, then I recommend you amend your statement and find something more factually relevant. Like maybe a child raised by two Donna Reeds. That wouldn't be so bad, would it? A pair of Mrs. Bradys. Sounds pretty wholesome doesn't it?
What has happened to the heart of Laura Wood? It is shriveled and turned to stone.
I'm not at all sure what happened to the Stinking Housewife's heart, but this was almost certainly the fate of her brain.
I've read her blog posts before. She's deconstructed regularly at the Free Jinger site for being such a loathsome dipstick.
I don't know what the hell her problem is, but I hope that stick up her ass eventually stems the tide of shit she drops on other people.
What? Children are starving you say? Murdered and raped? No, sorry, two lesbians had a child and I have to go protest, no time to help people with bigger problems.
What do you mean the sun is going to explode? Who cares about that? We live on earth and there are lesbians having children? WHY ARE YOU PANICKING OVER AN EXPLODING SUN AND NOT LESBIANS!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Allow to me quote a fellow poster from RSTDT, Brendan Rizzo
"As it turns out, one of the most frequent users of the blog, besides Laura herself, is none other than Lawrence Auster. This guy isn't some nobody; he's probably the most well-known "traditionalist conservative". (A traditionalist conservative is essentially someone who thinks the neocons are too liberal, and are essentially nineteenth-century style reactionaries.) Evidently he has learned how to use the Internet, despite condemning pretty much everything that made it possible. So yes, a man is involved in this blog. Unfortunately, his participation proves that the whole thing is not a Poe, like a lot of people have guessed."
I'm betting that Laura is Lawrence's female pseudonym. Not even the most repressed woman could be that misogynistic.
Laura, I think you made a mistake. The website is called "The Thinking Housewife". Your post is full of the kind of mindless drivel I've come to expect from sanctimonious religious morons who regurgitate it on command. No thinking involved.
I've known people who were raised by same-sex parents and they are all fine human beings, which is more than I can say for people like you.
Then let's go out and get all those mothers who are raising children on their own because for whatever reason, the father isn't around.
Because after all, that's child abuse. Right? Right?
Bleugh. What a truly revolting person you are, Laura Wood.
Clearly diatribes of hateful bigotry equal 'Thinking' in your book. Go do your thinking under a heavy rock somewhere and leave the rest of us, in particular Cynthia Nixon and her family, alone.
Okay, one, the child is the biological child of one of Christine's, so it's her natural right to raise it.
Two, even if it was adopted, how is this "stealing children?" NO ONE ELSE FUCKING WANTED THAT KID, IT WAS AN ORPHAN.
Two mothers and no father is better than one mother and no father.
I bet Ms Nixon and Ms Marinoni both have male friends, who can teach the child about male role-models.
What happened to the hearts of fundies? They are shriveled and turned to stone.
Despite her madonna-like pose in this photograph, Nixon is a typical anti-mother of our times...
If she's having children, then how is she an "anti-mother".
But they are just as hostile to the young, snatching away their innocence and security, stealing them from their tiny cradles.
You're confusing gay's with catholics.
Deliberately to deprive a child of a father, to arrange his conception the way one might arrange a major purchase, to raise him in a home without a man, cut off from half his kin and exposed to the shame of having two “mothers,” is nothing less than child abuse.
Does the same go for divorced parents, widowed parents, and other single parents.
Just because you don't like the idea of two women raising a child, that doesn't mean that two women (or two men for that matter) can't raise an intelligent, compassionate, well-adjusted human being who becomes a productive member of society.
Now, while not having a father can have detrimental effects on a child's psychological health (just as not having a mother can), as long as the child is exposed to a good male role-model and is raised with love, it'll turn out fine.
Also, unless you can prove that lesbians are inherently hostile to children, STFU.
You are nothing but a heartless bigot to want to deny a child a loving home just because you disapprove of the gender of the parents. I hope you never have children (or if you already do, that they never inherent your hateful attitude). Shame on you.
*sirens wail*
Language Police, Clumsy Rhetoric Unit, good afternoon. It seems we have a reason to suspect that you've engaged in some rather excessive Jumping to Conclusions here. Let's see what we have here - hmm, copious mudslinging here, and what have we here - oh...
> What has happened to the hearts of lesbians? They are shriveled and turned to stone.
... oh my, a mudslinging attempt that was disguised as an attempt to analyse the situation, when it was plain and obvious that no analysis whatsoever was performed! According to the International Debate Law, you need to have a Royal Asshole Permit to carry concealed mudslinging weapons. Let's see some permits, ma'am? ...No, I'm not having any of those complaints, lady; we already made Regular Assholery permit-free back in 1935, and we don't really mind plain ol' flaming these days, as long as everyone can see you're a raging moron. But colossal stumbles like these... no, you've got to have a permit for these.
Deliberately to deprive a child of a father, to arrange his conception the way one might arrange a major purchase, to raise him in a home without a man, cut off from half his kin and exposed to the shame of having two “mothers,” is nothing less than child abuse.
What about the all the fundamentalist Christians who get divorced and raise a child "in a home without a man, cut off from half his kin" and "deliberately ... deprive a child of a father"? Fundamentalist Christians have one of the highest divorce rates of any religious group - almost twice the rate for atheists, for example.
And the "shame" of having two mothers is your own bigoted fault, not the child's.
Does she realize that the "Baba Yagas" she refers to are the same creatures dreamed up by early Christians, that Jews would steal their children, eat them and drink their blood, thus justifying violence against them?
The ironic thing is she is using that same myth to justify action against the gay community. We see some things never change.

I see a baby with two parents who love him, and want nothing but the best for him. I see a couple in love, who want to share their joy with the world.
If anyone's heart is shriveled and turned to stone, it's yours, Laura.
Oh yeah? From my vast knowledge of lesbianism (thankyou web porn), two large breasted blondes constantly fingerbangin each other night after night while i watch from the bed end ... fuck, they are neither blonde or, strictly speaking, women...
Can't say that I've ever met someone who felt ashamed to have two moms, Laura, but I have to agree that some parents can be a real embarrassment for their kids. Imagine for example a poor kid with a screeching asshole for a mother... Who knows, you may know such a kid, maybe even without realizing it.
@The Lazy One:
"Do you even know the story of Baba Yaga? She doesn't "snatch away innocence," she fucking EATS you. And she doesn't have broomstick, she has a house that walks on chicken legs. Seriously, actually read the stories you reference before you try to moralize based on them."
Actually Baba Yaga does carry a broom around, but she doesn't ride it, her main mode of transportation is her flying mortar. She uses the broom to sweep away her tracks.
"Deliberately to deprive a child of a father, to arrange his conception the way one might arrange a major purchase, to raise him in a home without a man, cut off from half his kin and exposed to the shame of having two “mothers,” is nothing less than child abuse."
Two words: Michael Pearl. Need I say more?
I am impressed that you have even heard of Baba Yaga. Most Americans, it seems, know very little about the folklore of foreign countries. Heck, many seem to think that they actually resemble the Disney movies.
The rest of your post, however, clearly illustrates that having a store of information does not qualify you as a "thinking" housewife.
OK, if they don't like children, why adopting one, in the first place?. Or why adopting in general, for that matter?
"The Daily Mail refers to the baby, who was born last week, as the couple’s son, expecting readers to swallow nonsense whole and slide down the rabbit hole of artificially-created insanity without raising the slightest objection or cry for help."
So, if he is not considered their "real" son, is it "nonsense" for children who are adapted to be considered the children of their parents?
My (technically by adaption, though I consider her my blood) cousin would like to have a word with you, then.
And every time I read something like this, I just think to myself "They are still losing, and I'm almost certain within my lifetime gay people will be allowed to marry, and then I'll get to watch you have a conniption fit as you try to find something else to manufacture votes for, and that'll be funny!" and feel better.
And finally: I'm sure The Daily Mail has readers that required IVF or other fertility treatments in order to get pregnant, it's not just "The EBIL GAYS!!!" that need it. Explain how that's part of God's Plan-did He just really want my cousin to be adapted, for example?
" expecting readers to swallow nonsense whole and slide down the rabbit hole of artificially-created insanity without raising the slightest objection or cry for help. "
Rupert Murdock makes a lot of money off you that way.
@Ellipsoidal (re: the link you posted)-
Even after hanging around this site for as long as I have, there are still some things surprise me with their cruelty and disgust me to my very core. The commentary on that page is one of those things. I don't even know WHAT to call those people-- all the insults that come to mind insult another, innocent group by proxy, like men or women or people who were born outside of wedlock! I guess I'll just go with the major understatement here and say that they're massive jerks who need to learn basic empathy.
As for OP, I'd say that your restrictive and narrow definition of parenting is far more damaging than a child being brought up by two loving parents whom happen to be the same gender.
...I would pay to see Ellen DeGeneres punch this woman in the face.
Lesbians are people . Most of the ones i know would/do make excellent mothers. Maybe Laura here is just jealous that homosexuals are proving, on average, to be better parents than straight couples.
TL;DR - Lesbians rock, OP needs a clue.
"The Daily Mail refers to the baby, who was born last week, as the couple’s son ..."
What-what-what-what WHAT!? The Daily Mail? Tolerant!?
Also, grimsoncrow (first post) has it absolutely spot on.
EDIT:
@Princess Rot. I know, right? She'll start moralising to us using the fucking Groke next.
So, in other words, women depend on men. And adopting a kid is now being heartless.
With apologies to any decent women reading this, but this Laura Wood is a cunt.
So when we finally reach that magical time when it's scientifically possible for two women to conceive a child that is uniquely theirs, thereby rendering the entire male gender utterly unnecessary, will you shut your trap, Laura?
And incidentally, we have reached the point where males are functionally unnecessary for the continuation of the species. If all men died overnight, the human race would be fine. We have more than enough sperm stored to foster several future generations, of which more males would undoubtedly be born. However, if the opposite happened, and all women died overnight, the human race would be completely fucked.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
