 * Delete per nom. Several of the sources "cited" just refer to Lynch's website "Queerspawn" rather than use the term as described in this article. Anything worthwhile here could be Merged with Adoption by same-sex couples or the page propsed there (Parenting by same-sex couples). Scorpiondollprincess 16:48, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * As clarified in the original article the queerspawn.com url has been taken over by a new person, multiple references is due to multiple websites being hosted under the same url at different time periods. You're right that clarification in how the term is used would be good, but in several of the cases, the term is used in the title of the cited source.  Additionally, the important distinction between queerpawn and parenting by same-sex couples is found in the second paragraph of the article.  It is a term that identifies who the population in question is and focuses discussion and agency on their identity, not their parents.Nodesignation 22:53, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep It needs editing and updated information, but most of the sources cited are legitimate secondary sources such as Newsweek, NYT, Gay and Lesbian Review Worldwide. The term also in use in several different non-internet communities, including the cited national advocacy organization.  Note: I have a vested interest in this discussion as an activist and author speaking and writing on queerspawn issues for roughly 2-3 years. Nodesignation 22:53, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
