That is the way God Made it- Man and Woman. If Only we would listen to these children who have been brought up with the correct role model of a man and a woman family.
If only we would listen to children of different household layouts. We'd find out that they're all children capable of being loved and well taken care of by the family raising them.
My father managed to raise two girls by himself after my mother skirted off the responsibility of being a parent and left. So if one man can raise girls, why can't two men? Why can't one woman raise a child? And if a single mother can raise a child, then why can't two?

Because a man cannot be a role model to a growing woman, she needs what only a woman can provide and visa versa. That is why we see Big Brother orgs, because boys need a male role model in their lives. Probably also why so many kids join gangs, to have some semblance of a caring family, they are seeking to fill in the gaps any way they can.
I think a lot of gay men are seeking father figures that they never had, or they were molested in their youth. Whatever it is, they've got issues that don't need to be passed on to children seeking guidance in a difficult world. That's my opinion, the nuclear family is best for growing children and society as a whole.
Kids need a mom and a dad. If they can't have that a dad and a dad or a mom and a mom is better than having only a single parent or living in foster care or as a ward of the state. There's your answer.

My uncle died when his sons were 3 and 5. My aunt raised them. She did have a few male role models for them, e.g. her brother and my dad, her deceased husband's brother. They are adults, nearing retirement age now. Neither ever joined a gang. Both have been married and raised kids.

You're conflicting yourself here. You state that children need both a man and woman, then state that a man can't be a role model to a woman. Which is it?
Also, can you name something that only a mother can provide to a growing daughter? Name me one thing that a mother can provide that no other female present in the girl's life can provide. Because seriously, I can't think of anything I wasn't provided growing up.
What kind of things I should have learned from my mother that could never be learned elsewhere.

So you do recognize that people other than the parents can be role models.

Great thing you aren't a doctor or psychologist, then. Well, actually, if you even remotely learned anything in those fields, you'd see that your assumptions or current opinions are incorrect.

Whereas most people agree that having a loving and supporting family is what is best for growing children.

Pretty much, this.
Role models are not necessarily parents. And parents are not necessarily role models.
