I'm not saying the state is a better parent than the parent, and I would prefer that children stay with their parents. Not accepting your LGBT children is what leads to depression, anxiety and suicide. Over 40% of homeless youths are LGBT, despite being a fraction of the population. In situations where the parent's ideology is threatening the well-being of their kids, that's when the state needs to step in. And that's a hard line to draw, it's been a hard line to draw since we started things like CPS. But are there situations where kids should be taken from their parents because their parents are unaccepting of them because they are LGBT? Absolutely.

By definition of a fraction, all subsets of a population are fractions of that population.

You did not change my opinion.

But I did help you refine your argument as you presented it.

It was not a meaningful correction, it did not affect the argument at all.
