Children of gay couples cared for, loved

Regarding Ralph Bock's concern for the children of same-sex marriage (“How will children of gay couples develop?” June 6): Let me assure you that these children are so loved and cared for not only by their parents, but friends and families. They are neither effeminate nor masculine, but just happy kids growing up in a loving home. My granddaughter adores a frilly party dress and is content to spend the afternoon with hammer and saw building birdhouses.
And by the way, have you ever heard of a child abuse case involving the child of gay parents?
