John McCain's Kind of Family: Mom, Dad, and Child...


According to the NYT.com/New York Times recently, John McCains espoused that he and Cindy were the kind of "best example" of how to raise an adopted child: with a mom and dad.

Tom Beatie--a transgender man (woman to man)--recently gave birthday to a beautiful daughter, with ABC-TV and People magazine taking plenty of pictures (more than we've seen of Brangelina's twins), and interviewing the happy couple: mom, dad and baby. So what does the Republican presumptive nominee want to make of this little three-some, in which the dad is a trans person?

This is a new way of defining the American family yet once again.
