This man asked Blankenhorn, a leading figure in the ?marriage movement," to endorse his group's objectives. Feeling a bit defensive, Blankenhorn replied, ?Every child deserves a mother and a father." The Future of Marriage is the result of that conversation. In their current demands, Blankenhorn points out, gay and lesbian leaders are not asking for marriage with an adjective in front of it, but marriage itself.
