The ABC’s Tony Jones spoke with Katy Faust, who was raised by lesbian parents and is in Australia to lobby against same sex marriage.
American Katy Faust was raised by her lesbian mother and her partner and she now runs a blog called asktheBigot, which is fiercely opposed to gay marriage.
She became a Christian in high school and was concerned by the plight of children.
She is in Canberra to lobby the Federal Government against gay marriage and she told Lateline why.
These are her key points:
1. She loves her lesbian mother and her partner:
“While my mother was a fantastic mother and most of what I do well as a mother myself I do because that’s how she parented me, she can’t be a father. Her partner, an incredible woman — both of these women have my heart — cannot be a father either.”

2. She says children of gay parents are pressured into supporting them:
“There’s several children that have contacted me even since I started writing about this, saying ‘I agree with you, but I’ll never come out and speak about this publicly because my relationship with my parent is too tenuous’.”
