Two Lesbians Raised a Baby and This is what They Got

So the following video was found on facebook:

Alright, so I watched this video because it was posted by a number of my facebook friends and was a little disenheartened by it. I began thinking seriously why I was so bothered by this video and then it hit me. This is a very well educated, well spoken young man who was raised by two lesbians which means that, obviously, same sex couples are just as capable of raising children, right? Maybe, but that's not what bothers me. Through this young man's talk, there is an overtone that I ignored completely through my first viewing. In his case, men are apparently unnecessary. Think about it, his whole point is that he is successful, and well adjusted, and all with two mom's, so a woman can do just as a well as a man being a father.

Here are some problems with this:
1. It takes away the God given uniqueness that we have as male and female. We are different. There is no way to get around it. That doesn't make one bother than the other, just different. Think of it like this, 2+2 = 4. So does 3 + 1. These are different statements but the same equality. Yet according to this young man, it doesn't matter. Two dads, two moms, a mom and a dad. It's all the same. Yet we're told something very different in the Bible: "God created man [humanity] in his image; in the diving image He created them; male and female he created them." Gen. 1:27 (bold and brackets added).
We have a uniqueness, an no woman can fulfill certain roles that are meant for man, such as being a father, and no man can fulfill certain roles meant for woman, such as being a mother. Aside from the faith, biologically, this is an impossiblity. But here's the kicker...

2. I think that both the young man and the mothers, as least subconsciously, know that a male presence in necessary in the growth and development of a child. What evidence to I have of that? Straight from this young man's mouth. He boasts, proudly, of being an Eagle Scout. Now, I know a few peole who are Eagle Scouts, and they are proud of it. As one who left the Boy Scouts before getting know, I know why. It is an accomplishment that is difficult to achieve and requires a lot discipline and dedication to service of your community and to God. Anyone who achieves should speak proudly of their achievemnt. But my question is this, why was he even in Boy Scouts? I believe that, even if it was at a subconscious level, both this young man and his mothers knew he would need good male role models to help teach and guide him in what it means to be a man. No woman could ever be this guide through manhood adequately because she doesn't know what it means to be man. And how fortunate it was that this young man was able to become so involved in an organization that was able to guide him this way!

3. This is a well adjusted and successful young man. But what about his father? What about his sister? "Thankfully" both this young man and his sister were conceived in their mother through IVF (invitro ferlization) by the same anonymous donor. Yet all that is know of the father is he is an anonymous donor. Holy crap, I hear constantly how men need to step up and be men by we applaud this unknown person just giving up some sperm and shirking off any and all responisbility for his actions. How is that manly? How is that teaching our children to take responsibility for their actions? And does this young man's sister have a man in her life to teach her what love is in an unconditional and nonsexual way. Does she know of her intrinsic dignity and beauty without having to sexualize herself?

I am not saying that these two lesbian woman are horrible parents and have forever scarred their children. Not at all. What I am saying is that this video only proves that we have a young, well adjusted, successful man who happens to have two mothers. I think it opens up a few things that do need to be discussed. I think there are deeper issues here than whether or not two women can raise kids. I think we really need to look at specific gender roles (and yes, it's okay to have gender roles), and a man's role and responisbility in the development of his children.

But these are just my thoughts. What are yours?
