Anna Duggar isn't exactly known for her enlightened views on topics like gay marriage, but her latest salvo in the war on equality is controversial even by the lofty standards of the family she married into.
Now, Anna has returned to her usual M.O. of letting others do the talking for her by re-tweeting an article with the incendiary title, "Dear Gay Parents: Your Children Are Hurting."
In fairness, the piece is actually not as close-minded as its title would suggest. The author is a woman who was raised by a lesbian couple and states repeatedly that she "loves" the gay community.
Then she goes on to say that two people of the same sex cannot raise a child as effectively as a mother and a father...and that's likely the part that appealed to Anna.
Anna has very strong views regarding the conditions under which children should be conceived and raised, as evidenced by the fact she blackballed her sister Susanna Keller for having a child out of wedlock.
Currently, Anna is pregnant with her fourth child, so it's good that she spends a lot of time thinking about parenting practices and the welfare of children.
We just wish that - with this being 2015 and there being 7 billion people on the planet, and all - she'd open up herself up to the possibility that not all children who aren't raised by one dad and one mom end up scarred for life.
It wouldn't even be that hard to do some research on the topic, Anna. There are literally millions of well-adjusted adults with firsthand experience whom you could ask about it!
Your hubby comes home after a hard day's work, you get the baby to bed, and he is going to be looking forward to that time with you. Anyone can fix him lunch, but only one person can meet that physical need of love, and you always need to be available when he calls. - Michelle
A couple of weeks after we went to the Holocaust Museum, it dawned on us that there is a holocaust taking place right here in America!...More than 56 million lives have been destroyed in our country! That is over 4,000 babies being killed and 4,000 women being wounded each day. - Michelle
We still love everyone as Christ commands, we still have compassion, we still have those kinds of feelings, but we have our convictions. We have our beliefs. If you really love somebody, you’re going to tell the truth. The Bible’s not neutral about lifestyles. The Bible blesses and approves of some and not others. - Josh
You may not wanna push the wedding date out too far, as those natural God-given desires with too much time between engagement and marriage can make it harder to remain pure - Jill
You cannot get un-pregnant. If you are pregnant, take responsibility and take care of yourself and your baby and God will take care of you. - Jill, Jana and Jessa
Because of the violence of abortion, over 16 million black people are history. Human beings should be remembered, not dismembered. - Anna, on Black History Month
It would allow men - yes, I said men - to use women's and girls' restrooms, locker rooms, showers, sleeping areas and other areas that are designated for females only. - Michelle
We do not dress modestly because we are ashamed of the body God has given us; quite the contrary. We realize that our body is a special gift from God and that He intends for it to be shared only with our future husband... We avoid low-cut, cleavage-showing, gaping, or bare-shouldered tops; and when needed, we wear an undershirt. We try to make it a habit to always cover the top of our shirt with our hand when we bend over. We don't want to play the peekaboo game with our neckline. - Jana, Jessa, Jill and Jinger
That's a signal to the boys, and even to Dad, that they should nonchalantly drop their eyes and look down at their shoes as we walk past her... It's meant to help keep the guys' eyes from seeing things they shouldn't be seeing. By using the single-word signal, the warning can be given quietly and discreetly. - Jana, Jessa, Jill and Jinger, on their code word ("Nike") to the males in their family when they encounter women who aren't subscribing to a similar dress code
I walked through the Holocaust Museum again today... very sobering. Millions of innocents denied the most basic and fundamental of all rights: their right to life... We must be a voice for those who cannot speak up for themselves. Because EVERY LIFE IS PRECIOUS. - Jessa
I know a lot of Catholics who are great people. What I DO have a problem with is the teaching that man can merit God's favor through his own works or the works of other fallen men ... Where [Catholics] depart from Scripture, I will in no way support, but will call them out because I love them and desire that they be turned from their deadly errors. - Ben Seewald
After deleting photos of gay people kissing on Facebook, Michelle and Jim Bob shared this quote from Rick Warren: Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone's lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. Second is that to love someone means that you must agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don't have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.
The idea of overpopulation is not accurate because, really, the entire population of the world, if they were stretched shoulder to shoulder, could fit within the city limits of Jacksonville. - Michelle
