Do you believe there are more disadvantages than advantages of being raised by homosexuals

Yes

I haven't found much justification that one is necessarily better than the other, I have but one thought on the topic. There are things I was only comfortable discussing with my father, because of this, I would conclude that it would be best for a child to have a parent of the same gender and possibly the same sexual orientation. With that said, life isn't perfect, people die, leave, or are just terrible parents and I have no objection to one or more adults of any orientation to parent children.

Side: Yes

Are you sure you feel more comfortable discussin certain topics with your father for the sole reason that he is male? If you had two fathers, don't you think you would feel more comfortable talking to some topics to one of them, even though both are male?

Side: Yes

I believe it was because he was male, but there is no way for me to demonstrate it. The problem in my uneducated opinion would have been having two mothers. While my one fills an important role, the second wouldn't have filled my father's because the reason I was comfortable talking to him about, for a lack of better terminology, "guy things" was because he is a straight male. Again, I am only speaking from my own experience, had I not had a male figure in my life I may have felt differently.

I agree with Stryker. If I needed advice I would go to my mom. But if it mechanical or I needed help fixing something, I would always go to my dad.

Straight parents have screwed up more kids than homosexuals ever will. ;)

Homosexuals are perverted people. I look at them the same way as I would a pedophile. Wait.... most gays are pedophiles.

Homosexuals are perverted people.

So are straight people. What does that have to do with raising kids?

I look at them the same way as I would a pedophile.

And you would be wrong.

Wait.... most gays are pedophiles.

No, they aren't.

Side: No

If two parents of the same gender love their children, that's the biggest advantage of all.

Side: No
