Who gives a fuck, as long as that gay couple lets the child(ren) grow up with an open mind. I don't think it's right to force their beliefs on them. If the child grows up and wants to be gay, that's cool but just as I said. It shouldn't be forced upon the child's head.

Unfortunately, this ain't a perfect world, and the children who have say two dads will feel a bit more awkward and ...well think about it.


How the fuck would you feel if you had two dads and everyone else had a dad and a mom?

That would suck, and not because you'd be a homophobe, but because everyone knows, and even if they don't bully you, you'd still feel shy and intimidated because as soon as you start "acting up" or trying to act cool, some dick will bring that up, and it'll lead to predictable and bad places.
So better none of this homo crap. It'll hurt more children than it'll do good.

Sexual Orientation. A number of investigators have also studied a third component of sexual identity, sexual orientation (Bailey, Bobrow, Wolfe, & Mickach, 1995; Bozett, 1980, 1987, 1989; Gottman, 1990; Golombok & Tasker, 1996; Green, 1978; Huggins, 1989; Miller, 1979; Paul, 1986; Rees, 1979; Tasker & Golombok, 1997). In all studies, the great majority of offspring of both lesbian mothers and gay fathers described themselves as heterosexual. Taken together, the data do not suggest elevated rates of homosexuality among the offspring of lesbian or gay parents.

Studies of other aspects of personal development among children of lesbian and gay parents have assessed a broad array of characteristics. Among these have been separation-individuation (Steckel, 1985, 1987), psychiatric evaluations (Golombok et al., 1983; Kirkpatrick et al., 1981), behavior problems (Brewaeys et al., 1997; Chan, Raboy et al., 1998; Flaks, et al., 1995; Gartrell, Deck, Rodas, Peyser, & Banks, 2005; Golombok et al., 1983, 1997; Patterson, 1994a; Tasker & Golombok, 1995, 1997; Wainright et al., 2004), personality (Gottman, 1990; Tasker & Golombok, 1995, 1997), self-concept (Golombok, Tasker, & Murray, 1997; Gottman, 1990, Huggins, 1989; Patterson, 1994a; Puryear, 1983; Wainright et al., 2004), locus of control (Puryear, 1983; Rees, 1979), moral judgment (Rees, 1979), school adjustment (Wainright et al., 2004), and intelligence (Green et al., 1986). Research suggests that concerns about difficulties in these areas among children of lesbian mothers are unwarranted (Patterson, 1997, 2000; Parks, 1998; Perrin, 1998, 2002; Stacey & Biblarz, 2001; Tasker, 1999). As was the case for sexual identity, studies of these aspects of personal development have revealed no major differences between children of lesbian versus heterosexual mothers.

Sorry buddy, you do not run this thread. If you do not wish to post here anymore, ( and I don't blame you) then you are the one who needs to move on.
