How can gay men have kids with both their jeans

Photo by Melinda Green. When the Supreme Court took up the issue of gay marriage last month, Justice Antonin Scalia claimed that experts debate whether same-sex parents are bad for children. Siegel, a School of Medicine professor of pediatrics, coauthored a reportpublished by the American Academy of Pediatrics the week before the court case, arguing that three decades of research concur that kids of gay parents are doing just fine.

The report cites estimates that gay couples and single parents are raising almost two million American children. Does he expect the report to influence either the high court or state legislatures debating gay marriage and adoption? Those studies similarly found no difference in outcomes for the children as compared with children of heterosexual parents.

Even that study found mixed results the children of gay parents did more poorly in language and math, but better in social studies and attitudes toward learning, for example. Siegel cites another antigay parenting study by a University of Texas researcher that has also been criticized for its methodology.

The researcher compared children in happy heterosexual marriages with children whose parents divorced after a gay affair. The researcher has admitted that his scientific work and Catholic faith are inseparable; Catholic teaching denounces homosexual acts as sinful.

The great thing about same-sex parents is that you know they truly want to have children and have thoroughly thought about the commitment it takes to raise them. Gays and lesbians rarely become parents by accident, compared with an almost 50 percent accidental pregnancy rate among heterosexuals, Goldberg said.

Wayne, this is not true at all. The desire for homosexuals to have families is not some new phenomenon. The only thing that is new is the public talking about it, and more couples being open about their desires and families instead of hiding it. Almost all of them are heterosexual by the way, but are open minded.

They are not all blue collar or white collar on either side, and the reputable studies use equally diverse and un-bias sample groups and control groups. It is nearly impossible to conduct a study that would match age, socioeconomic status, profession, and marital status while such prejudice exists in this country.

Gay Parents As Good As Straight Ones

Far too many couples who want families are afraid to because of it, far too many gay individuals remain in the closet to the public because they risk losing their professions etc. Additionally, the vast majority of same sex couples cannot marry, nor benefit from numerous financial and social perks, which also affect the families.

Until the close-mindedness stops and homosexuals are treated equally, the studies that have been done are as fair and un-bias as they can possibly be — and by no means should their results be up for debate, as the children in same sex families clearly get the short end of the stick from society, and yet still are as well adjusted as those children raised in traditional families, if not more so on average.

So they could have still wanted families and by law were not allowed to because of orientation and the laws changed. Even though in a great degree that is in decline as in general fewer couples desire children. What you are arguing here is not gay vs. A totally different subject in which you must examine heterosexual adopted kid vs kids adopted by gays.

If they adopt you, they really want you.
