The research surveyed almost 3,000 18- to 39-year-olds. Most were raised by heterosexual parents, but 175 had mothers who at one point had same-sex relationships and another 73 of whom had dads once in same-sex relationships. The results suggested that children of these parents are more likely than kids in other family structures to be on public assistance, unemployed or in therapy as adults, among other negative outcomes.
Of course "social scientists" attack the study because they have a homosexual agenda and can't deal with the facts of the study.
I will not dispute that children of gay parents have a rough time. (PLease excuse the language, no harm meant) I'm sure it is rough growing up with the taunts "your dad is a ***".
Is that the fault of the parent? I am completely for gay couples being allowed to adopt. We will consider this. Would I have preferred a loving gay parent that provided a bicycle, a warm safe and secure place to live or a life of being shuffled between one foster home and another never having a stable situation. (this isn't meant to demean the wonderful foster parents that are out there).
So bottom line is that I do believe the very best situation is for a kid to have a mother and a father. There are things that each provide that are different based upon their sex. But not all heterosexual households have both either. If there are things that are not perfect, IMO it's always better to have a loving parent in a stable situation than not.
I am sure they mean well when it comes to parenting kids. People in general have issues..unresolved emotional and mental difficulties. It is plausible that homo-sexual parents who endured the discomfort of not being in the norm- may have built up more emotional problems than the average person...more bitterness- more sexual confusion...and more problems in general...Which may be similar to being raised by parents with post traumatic stress syndrome...I was raised by parents who were products of war...they were damaged by violence and it made my childhood difficult...I am sure that gays and lesbians have an over abundance of scars and hurts...Not that I agree with same sex raising of kids---I for a moment am attempting to show empathy..
These people are trying so hard to be normal- to be like their parents- trying to have a full life which includes children...Maybe they might recover and get better if we stopped torturing them? It has become clear you can not fully judge a person for a sexual act that might last for five minutes...and not look at them as people but just the act...Us straights are not above contempt when it comes to strange and kinky sex bordering on sick. How many straight husbands are out their who have become bored with their wives and taken to anal sex - because normal sex does not cut if for them?
What about these straight people who are fixated on the most destructive- disrespectful - abusive forms of sex known to mankind- Take a look at modern porn these days- Who are these freaks to judge gays and lesbians? Just sayin.
Apparently te researcher compared married, stable, straight homes to divorced or single parent homes where the parent had one same sex partner.
Well duh. The correlation between single parenting and poor outcomes is a no brainer. To make any sort of conclusion you would need to compare stable two gay parent homes to stable two straight homes. This is clearly NOT what the researcher did.
Only two of the 1.7 percent of respondents who reported a parental same-sex relationship reported living with that couple as parents for their entire childhood, meaning that the study has little to say about gay couples who deliberately chose to parent children through donor insemination, surrogacy or other means.
Only 2 of the children were raised by same sex couples their entire lives, the rest of the children they are comparing to heterosexual married couples were from broken families.
I don't think the majority of homosexual couples want children, which is why there's such a small sample. And gay male couples want that less than female lesbian couples, which is why the sample of gay male parenting is so small.
As much as I would want to see a kid grow up in a gay home rather than moved from foster home to foster home, I still see the best thing as having a mother and a father. I know not everyone has their dad or mom around and divorce happens, etc, etc But nothing beats living in a home with a loving mother AND father.
I'd much rather see a child grow up in a loving home with 2 gay parents than see them grow up in the foster system being pulled from family to family.
Or being raised by a single-parent or in an orphanage.
