Goodyear police said a 37-year-old man is suspected of stabbing his wife to death Thursday evening in front of at least one of their seven children. John Davis, 37, called 911 regarding a family fight, and police later found 35-year-old Michelle Davis stabbed to death at the family home... Police said the daughter called 911 and frantically pleaded for help at the same time John Davis called 911 while crying hysterically and apologized for killing his wife. The daughter told police she saw her father stab her mother. All seven children, ages 3 to 15, were at home, police said.
Once again...
Don't get me wrong: mothers and fathers can be great. I had a mother and a father and they were awesome parents to all four of their kids. But making sure that parents come with mix-matched sets of genitalia—making it a legal requirement for a couple to become parents (which is what the Liberty Counsel seeks to do)—does not guarantee that children will be safe and loved. Having gay parents, as we've seen here in Seattle, is no guarantee either. Children need loving, fit, qualified, sane, and—speaking from experience here—infinitely patient parents. Fit and loving parents can be gay or straight or bi, single or partnered, rich or poor, liberal or conservative, trans or cis, kinky or vanilla, monogamous or monogamish.
