I personally think that the differences are too subtle to make an impact upon a child. Sure you may get less skill in dating if you are straight and your parents aren't, but that isn't a big deal. I've read many stories of successful LGB parents, and studies have even shown it can be a better environment to grow up in.
What do you think about LGB parents raising children?

I'm not saying that I oppose to it and don't mean to offend anybody - terribly sorry if I have.

Lots of good answers. Thanks, but due to the sheer amount of answers I think I'm not going to chose a best one here. Just let people vote on it.

I think it's fine...I mean honestly...parent learn to parent that same way and not based on sexual preference. The dating thing...honestly....it's going to the be the same, it's not like gay people don't know how to date or what it's all about....
1. I think Gays and Lesbians can be great parents. I have nothing against them raising/adopting kids.
2. I wish Bisexuals weren't lumped in with Gay and lesbians. Bisexuality involves a degree of PROMISCUITY, which really has no place in effective family dynamics and child-rearing. Promiscuity could mean straight, bi, or gay...doesn't matter. (That's a huge miconception that gay couples are promiscuous....but bisexuals are called bi because they have sex with both...that means there isn't a monogamous relationship.
3. Unfortunately, I know several adults who as kids were raised by gay or lesbian couples, and they ALL say they were severely ridiculed and were damaged in some way by their parents' relationships. (This is a pity. I didn't think they would all be so against their parents' choices, but they were somehow damaged, in their words).
I thought LG relationships would be great for kids, but many of the kids say they hated growing up in a family headed by a L/G.
Again....regardless of sexual orientation, promiscuity should NOT exist if a couple wants to raise kids.
I was the child of a father and a fairy step mother. (another father) My experience was very good. Though they did not share equally in raising me, my father's partner had a huge impact on my life, my education and my outlook.
I am not gay, not that there's anything wrong with that, just pointing out that it didn't make me gay. My sister and I grew up to be perfectly normal, well adjusted, married adults.
I think any environment filled with love and understanding os a wonderful one to bring children into. My aunt is gay and committed to her partner for over 30 years. They have two beautiful daughters (from the same father tube). The moms were always open and honest with their girls and continue to share their affection for one another with the girls.
I dont think of gay parenting is from now on useful or worse than classic families. in case you're making a assertion like that on right here you had suitable have the fabric to diminish back it up or the lynch mob comes out lol can i see a link to those learn you communicate of? i could definitely prefer to make certain them, a chum of mine is gay and he and his boyfriend are finding into surrogacy so its peaked my interest. LOL i be attentive to what the united kingdom is like, I stay right here and that i for my area exchange into finding for particular learn? The links to them in case you have them could be large.
