Media bias against American Christians
So whoever said that a single parent and child didn’t constitute a family or that an unmarried man and woman with a child weren’t a family? This looks like another example of the media trying to marginalize pro-family people with straw men.

Ideas on family shifting, poll says
Bloomberg News
About half of all adults in the U.S. are married, down from 72 per cent in 1960, while four in 10 people consider marriage obsolete and most say their definition of family has changed, according to a poll. In a telephone survey of 2,691 Americans by the Pew Research Center in Washington, 86 per cent of respondents said a single parent and child constitute a family. Four out of five respondents said an unmarried man and woman with a child also were a family, and 63 percent said a gay or lesbian couple raising a youngster could be described the same way.
The findings come with a “mix of unease and acceptance” as respondents were evenly split as to whether the new family units were good, bad or didn’t make a difference for society, the authors of the report said. Young adults, non-religious people, liberals and blacks were more likely to be accepting of the new arrangements than their counterparts.
