Surely you can make your point without a disingenuous appeal to emotion. No, a garden variety homosexual man could never replace the input I've had from my mother. Neither could a garden variety heterosexual woman. And a different heterosexual man could no more replace my father than a lesbian woman could. My parents have both had a profoundly individual influence upon me, that is the result of the sum total of who they are, not just their genders and sexual orientations.
Go tell a child raised by a gay couple that the input into their lives that one of their fathers had was nothing that could not be replaced by your garden variety heterosexual woman. I don't buy it.
