Children Raised by Openly Homosexual Parents More Likely to Engage in Homosexuality

By Trayce Hansen, Ph.D.

Research by social scientists, although not definitive, suggests that children reared by openly homosexual parents are far more likely to engage in homosexual behavior than children raised by others. Studies thus far find between 8% and 21% of homosexually parented children ultimately identify as non-heterosexual. For comparison purposes, approximately 2% of the general population are non-heterosexual. Therefore, if these percentages continue to hold true, children of homosexuals have a 4 to 10 times greater likelihood of developing a non-heterosexual preference than other children.

Some researchers who uncovered sexual preference differences between homosexually and heterosexually parented children, nonetheless declared in their research summaries that no differences were found. Many believe they concealed their findings so as not to harm their own pro-homosexual, sociopolitical agendas.

All social scientists who conduct research in this emotionally-charged area have personal biases. That's a given. But if the authors of these studies want to be regarded as scientists, and not activists, they must set aside their biases and straightforwardly present their findings.

Regardless, no one should be surprised that homosexual parents are more likely to raise homosexual children. As one of the few forthright pro-homosexual advocates proclaimed, "Of course our children are going to be different."

In fact, many believe the percentages of non-heterosexual children in these studies would be even greater if more of the children had been raised from birth by openly homosexual parents. But most weren't. A majority of these children actually were born into and raised by mother-father couples before one of their parents "came-out" and the parents divorced.

Findings from the best and most recent twin studies have found that homosexuality, unlike eye color, is not genetically-caused. But there are a number of non-genetic mechanisms through which homosexuality could be transmitted from one generation to the next. Those mechanisms include role-modeling, social learning and differential reinforcement, as well as outright encouragement of non-heterosexuality by parents or others.

No one knows for sure by what complex mechanisms homosexual parents disproportionately rear homosexual children. But regardless of how, it appears they do. The public needs to be made aware of the findings of these studies so that when courts adjudicate and citizens vote on issues related to homosexuality, they're fully informed as to the possible consequences of those decisions on children.

It is a sad one because children are being adopted and produced in a mad scientist fashion which guarantees they will be exposed by default to huge risks a major one being that they will be less likely to have a normal family life.

Well, DUH!!!

It’s a shame the term “common sense” has lost its meaning; maybe we should substitute “horse sense”.

And I bet that girls are even more prone to homosexuality than the boys when raised by homosexuals.

Whether or not all homosexuality is a clear choice, there is absolutely zero question that people can become imprinted sexually by events in their childhood. It is extremely common to be deeply affected and to repeat childhood events. Its rather common to hear stories of this nature, that a person is influenced by something they witnessed as a child.

Makes sense. You watch 2 men kiss, sit in each other’s laps, cuddle etc your young mind is bound to believe that it’s the norm. (sorry for being so descriptive)

Surprise, surprise, surprise, NOT! In most cases, children model as adults the family values in which they were raised. Isn’t this what the agenda is - increasing the numbers?

"When you think about it, the radical gay community really does have alot in common with the national socialists of the 30s.

I think you nailed it! The progressive movement is the big picture. This movement has evolved into a virus that threatens the very existence of this nation. It has networks around the world receiving funds from the taxpayers of the world that in turn pay off the politicians and insure that they get elected.

Yes, their very own “farm-raised” herd of future victims—both the ones they raise, and other people’s children in the government indoctrination centers aka public schools.

"Children Raised by Openly Homosexual Parents More Likely to Engage in Homosexuality"

Really? That's interesting indeed. So there is a correlation between parental activities and how a child develops. Wow! Never crossed my mind. I guess that's why I don't have a PhD.

I bet the following is true too!
