Stephanie Pappas, writing for LiveScience.com, recently penned an article titled, “Why Gay Parents May Be the Best Parents” (2012). In that article she attempted to make the case that same-sex couples provide an environment that is better for raising children than the environment provided by heterosexual couples. To bolster her case, she cited various studies, quoted numerous “experts,” and fleshed out the details with copious statistics. Her thinly veiled attempt to appear unbiased about the issue is extremely transparent, and her clear agenda to advance tolerance for homosexuality, in spite of its real impact on society, was evident.
Consider this. God created humans in His likeness. When He did, He made them “male and female” and designed the first home (Genesis 2:22-24). This divinely ordained, man-woman relationship has been the pillar of every productive society in the history of mankind. Furthermore, since God created humans, and knows precisely what is best for their well-being, only He would be in a position to know which type of parenting situation, same-sex or heterosexual, would be best for rearing children. Not only did He establish the family to be headed by heterosexual parents, but He consistently condemned the homosexual lifestyle as sinful, admonishing homosexuals to repent (Butt, 2003). Therefore, since same-sex parents are openly rebelling against God, and providing ......

So, they’re not equal after all.
They are in fact, better.
In a recent “study” of homosexual parenting that tried to bolster the idea that male “parents” are healthier because they don’t have as much “sex,” even the fact of raising a child didn’t affect their “open relationship” agreements to have sex on the side.
Conclusion
In summary, tradition and science agree that biological ties and dual gender parenting are protective for children. The family environment in which children are reared plays a critical role in forming a secure gender identity, positive emotional well-being, and optimal academic achievement. Decades of social science research documents that children develop optimally when reared by their two biological parents in a low conflict marriage. The limited research advocating childrearing by homosexual parents has severe methodological limitations. There is significant risk of harm inherent in exposing a child to the homosexual lifestyle. Given the current body of evidence, the American College of Pediatricians believes it is inappropriate, potentially hazardous to children, and dangerously irresponsible to change the age-old prohibition on homosexual parenting, whether by adoption, foster care, or reproductive manipulation. This position is rooted in the best available science.
Truth is immutable. The only thing that changes is the degree to which Liberals attempt to obscure truth.
Of course.
I’d noticed the same trends.
Tauted studies have also shown that for more reasonable definitions of “Better”, that children raised by rich, white, lesbians even with all of the benefits of money, status, and a supportive community, do no better than poor, single, heterosexual mothers and are still unlikely to fully develop mentally, socially, and much more likely to be incarcerated at some point in their life.
bkmk
Homosexual ANYTHING is detrimental to us all.
I know a few of these "families". Some of them are not really bad people, but they suffer from emotional problems, and their kids are uniformly messed up.
sad and true. I think they would say , “because we are not accepted..”, but Maybe “wrong” behavior (sin) grates on our subconscious...(?)
Homos are accepted now, more than ever, but their problems aren't going away.
bttt
Truly sick, but we have been led to this for a long time, degree by degree. I feel sorry for those too young to have understood what we’ve lost by seeing it firsthand.

If you click the link and read the article, and read Mrs Don-o's comments, you can learn the "reasons" pro-homosexual agenda pushers say that homosexuals make better parents than a normal mother and father. The reasons are very revealing.
Anyone wanting on/off any of my ping lists, freepmail me.
PS - I pinged the M.A. list too becaucse this affects so many innocent children.
Yep, imagine the incessant sexual abuse of little boys adopted (er, purchased) by male homosexuals, just like in ancient Rome. All of this to satisfy the sick-minded queers.
just like in ancient Rome. All of .....”
And we know what happen to Rome!!!
In our younger days, my wife made a friend with a gay guy who rode on the train out to our house from the city, you know, who are we to judge, and love the sinner and hate the sin and all that. We were much younger and naive I must say.
Anyway, he had “come out” after being married and having a little girl. We knew them when the girl was in her early teens, the guy was living with his younger gay boyfriend, but I think he still had joint custody of the girl, (never met the mom, I guess she was a real piece of work too) so we saw her quite a lot. She deeply disliked the “boyfriend” but didn’t really show it around her Dad, and later on when she became an adult cut off all contact with her father and the boytoy. We moved away a couple of years latter and lost contact with them, but several years ago my wife did make contact again with the girl, she ended up really hating her father, you just can’t tell me that she ever had a good “parenting experience” when she was living with those two....
