I’ve already established that an unfortunate number of people in the society are all too vocal in telling the homosexual community that they CANNOT be Christians. So on a similar line of reasoning, I imagine a comparable percentage would attempt to tell me I CANNOT be a parent. Their reasoning may not fall under the same “divine scripture” from thousands of years ago category, but I’m sure it is similarly lacking logic and research oriented proof.
Feel free to throw your arguments at me, because I am living proof on a daily basis that homosexuals can be just as good of parents as their heterosexual counterparts. And despite all accusations thrown out there, it is just untrue that homosexual parents somehow raise children who are gender confused or angry or more likely to be gay. Reserach has consistently proven this to be just wrong.
In reality, a parent is a parent – gay or straight. Parenting will have the same trials and tribulations regardless of the sexual orientation of the parent or for that matter, the child. There will continue to be children of homosexuals and children of heterosexuals that have emotional problems, behavior problems, learning problems – social problems. Attempting to blame any problems such as these on a parent’s homosexuality is merely another societal attempt at blaming and excusing. The fact is – a bad parent is a bad parent, and they exist as both homosexuals and heterosexuals.
The fact of the matter is a homosexual parent is MORE likely to raise a tolerant, open-minded, free-thinking child. And a homosexual parent is LESS likely to pass on the traits of prejudice and hatred. Believe me, the world is already full of hatred, so a few more tolerant problem solvers will definitely help future generations.
