Gay Parenting

[Beirut]

Why, specifically, is it inherently better? What are children of gay parents lacking in comparison to those of straight parents?

A parent of each sex.

Do children of mixed-race families enjoy a necessary diversity that is inherently better for the child than those of same-race families?

Gotta admit, it certainly makes for open minded children.

I am lucky I grew up in a family where one of my older brothers was gay and another brother had a best friend who was black. I was exposed at a very early age to the diversity of the human race. I was also educated in French, so I had even more diversity in my life when I was very young. It was great. I was very lucky.

Three ad hominems and not an answer to be found.

No, no, the answer is there. Look deeper, Grasshopper.

I almost... almost... had you nailed down on the interaction argument, but you seem to be backing away now.

Not backing away on anything. I'm right here where I always was.

What parts of interaction with the opposite sex do gay children struggle with? Dating? Working? Building friendships?

You continue to miss the point like a tank with a warped barrel. The point is that a child raised with a mother and father has inherent advantages because the child had a mother and a father.

How and why you see woman as nothing but a life support system for a vagina is ming boggling. Women are different from men, and not just because they have different genetalia. They are in fact different. And as a child has to deal with both sexes throughout his life, in a thousand different ways, it is obvious, like a ton of bricks falling on your head, that growing up with both sexes will be of benefit to the child.

If you think there is no difference between a man and a woman other than "parts", then go see Billy-Bob, turn him over, and have a go. Then go see Sally-Sue and do the same. If you can come back here and tell me both experiences gave you the same "emotional satisfaction", then I will agree with you that men and women are indeed equal and that no differences between them exist other than "parts".

You might as well take a shot at something specific because you will just dismiss any research I post to the contrary.

Wrong is wrong. Deal with it. And in this case you are wrong.

So what is it? What justifies putting gay parents at the back of the line?

Because they lack either a mother for the child or a father for the child. I thought we have covered this already?

And the lack of both a mother and a father forces children of gay parents to be ... (fill in the blank with an actual example).

...to be children who grew up without the benefit of having either a mother or a father, depending on the sex of the same-sex adoptive parents.
