The traditional family structure, with two married parents and their children, has been the cornerstone of our society for centuries and has proven to be an ideal environment for raising well-adjusted, responsible future citizens. While I respect the individual rights and personal choices, I am concerned that the increasing trend of non-traditional arrangements may overlook the proven benefits of the conventional family setup. On gender issues, I believe in the importance of equal opportunity for all, but I also uphold the biological distinctions between the sexes, as they each bring unique strengths to the table.
