True that.
Clap it up for Firecat. He finally said something that makes sense and is true!Yeah.. basically, It depends on the couple. It's Just like with straight couples!
So long as the child is taught to treat heterosexuality the same way, there shouldn't be much of a problem.Just one thought, How would the child handle this "later in their life.?"
I agree, like I said! But well, I stumbled upon this article: Kids of gay parents fare worse, study finds, but draws fire from experts.So long as the child is taught to treat heterosexuality the same way, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
CBS News) A new study that finds children of a gay or lesbian parent may be more likely to have social and emotional problems has sparked controversy on both sides of the same-sex marriage debate.
The study, from Mark Regnerus, an associate professor of sociology at The University of Texas at Austin, surveyed more than 15,000 Americans between the ages of 18 and 39, asking them questions about their upbringings. Its findings are published in the July issue of Social Science Research.
One survey question asked whether a parent had been in a same-sex relationship during a child's upbringing; Regnerus wanted to see whether there were differences between kids raised in a household by a parent in a same-sex relationship compared with those who were raised by biological parents who were married and heterosexual. The survey results were measured by a set of 40 outcomes on social, emotional and relationship factors. Outcomes included whether a child had grown up to need public assistance like welfare, were more likely to have anxiety or depression, were more likely to be abused, or were more apt engage in unhealthier habits such as having more sexual partners, smoking or using drugs.
Regnerus' analysis identified 175 now-adult children who said they were raised by a lesbian mother, along with 73 who said their father was in a same-sex relationship. Focusing on the larger sample, the study found respondents whose mother had a same-sex relationship fared worse on 24 of the 40 tested outcomes, compared with children of an intact heterosexual couple.

I agree, like I said! But well, I stumbled upon this article: Kids of gay parents fare worse, study finds, but draws fire from experts.
"flawed, misleading, and scientifically unsound paper that seeks to disparage lesbian and gay parents."
Well, why would parent give a education about gays? Isn't it better, It should be taught in school!?sorry WHAT
No I'm not! I Just want more answers! whoa, what's wrong with that? And Btw: Almost everyone's talking about the gays, but not about the children. eh?and goes full speed to square one.
Hey Troll! "Why not speak in alien language?"In English?
Gonna be my next custom title."Being gay Just Isn't natural." Love is natural.
Didnt you read my post?! Its a virus! Cleanse it from this planet!So then gay love isn't really love at all? Just when I thought I was starting to understand things...
Eh? I didn't said anything about that. But love is a "Natural" emotion.So then gay love isn't really love at all?.
Thank FC for that.I don't think anywhat knows who anymore is saying anyone, anywho?
Yeah, because gay parents will never love their children the way straight parents can.One way it's morally wrong.. what they do.
Divorce? Alcohol? Drugs? Physical abuse? Sexu.... let's not go there.Yeah, because gay parents will never love their children the way straight parents can.
