Kids raised by gay parents have a whole lot of hurdles that kids in the traditional family just don't have to jump over.
Does anyone have any articles/data about this? I'm sure it's out there, I just haven't seen it. I'm sure the media isn't quick to publicize that type of thing.

Growing up, I knew a girl who was the child of two lesbians (biological child of one of them). She was just mentally messed up...it's hard to describe. She wasn't teased or made fun of (the school system made sure of that) but she always felt different, even from other kids who had single mothers as parents. I know her "moms" were very active in the gay community and I think the poor girl just shouldn't have been exposed to so much at a young age.
In college, I worked with a guy who was the son of two gay men. Guess who ended up gay himself?
My thinking is this: men learn to be husbands and fathers by watching their fathers, and women learn to be wives and mothers by watching their moms. How can a little girl, for example, learn about a normal marriage relationship when she's never had one in her own immediate family, when her "moms" are busy dragging her to gay pride parades? Ideally, children should have two loving parents, a mom and a dad in a healthy marriage who can show their children by example how to be good spouses and parents.
