Bill O’Sullivan, the senior editor of the Washingtonian magazine, wrote in an editorial Thursday that the “loathsome” phrase “start a family” should be scrubbed from the vocabulary because it’s offensive to single people and couples without children. “What this euphemism means is get pregnant—or try to get pregnant, or have a baby, or adopt,” O’Sullivan wrote in the column. “Start a family devalues any couple who doesn’t happen to have kids, for whatever reason.”
The phrase also hurts single people, O’Sullivan wrote. In addition, he claimed the phrase originated from “heterosexist” ideology, but noted that it has since been adopted by the “everyday lexicon of LGBT people.” However, O’Sullivan still asserts he hears it more often from straight people. “For the sake of all the ways to be in the world, it’s time to put an end to start a family,” he insisted.

Ok ,enough. Every one needs to stop with this politically correct crap already. Starting a family means that we humans get to exist. There’s plenty of kids to adopt. Nobody is being left out. If they choose not to have kids that’s their business.
Too bad Bill’s parents didn’t abort him. We wouldn’t be reading his dribble right now!
We are the family of God, we are the promise divine. We are Gods chosen desire, we are the glorious new wine. Alleluia
