louisiana. >> thank you, mr. chairman. the amendment here simply says traditional two-parent in terms of the social science purchase, the longitudinalth waller steen and others who looked at the long-term effects upon children, the evidence is overwhelming that children in a two-parent home with a mother and a father do better in every social category. there is no longitudinal studies to compare to same sex couples because quite frankly it, hasn't been around here in this country. where it has existed, the numbers do not bear out that claim. so there was mention of a regularnaire russ report. there is volumes, volumes of social science that points to the fact that children do better when they're in a home with a mother and father who are married in a lifelong relationship. >> delegate from nebraska. >> hi, debbie brim from nebraska. not only do iny that this is as insult to the gay community, i also think it's insulting to single parents. you was a single parent, raised two kids. my kids are excellent citizens. and i find it offensive to think that just because i was a single parent and my kid -- and not with two parents that they a
