In another words the campaign is full blown by now.

As the marriage is ultimately about children, as in virtually any culture, including our European, it is such a big thing not because two people love each other, but because of the potential of starting a family and raising children, I decided to find out how it is to be raised by two dads or two moms. I came across few testimonies of people raised by same sex couples but none of them was as in-depth as the one of Heather Barwick, former supporter of gay marriages and families.

Please listen to the eye opening 35 minutes speach carefully:
