Are there any studies that establish the likelihood (or unlikelyhood) that a gay or lesbian parent union will generate a gay or lesbian child? Is there a higher risk for lesbian mothers to molest daughters or gay fathers to molest sons? These are risky questions, so PLEASE do not be politically correct.

apparently, I must clarify the question. But, thank you for your frank answers.
I am talking about a Mother who used a man, loving her dearly and totally unaware of the agenda, to get her pregnant. Then after the child was older, the mother divorced him (taking every red cent of their marriage) and decided to take the children away. This man is devastated by the loss and has never abused the children. Now the mother refuses to let their daughter even dress like a little girl, she has to dress like a boy. The little girl hates this home, and wants to be with her father in a conventional home. But the family courts believe that this woman is better suited to raise the child, because she is a "woman".
He is my best friend and this is KILLING him and destroying the child.

It's impossible for those studies to be taken seriously because of course a child in a setting where homosexuality is not taboo and forbidden, the child would be more likely to be open to telling the truth if they do feel homosexual attractions. That does not mean they would feel the "need" to be gay, if they find a boy attractive they'll date a boy, if they find a girl attractive they'll date a girl without feeling as there is a need to repress any feelings because the people around them are telling them, "No, it's disgusting! You WILL like such-and-such gender."

No, there is not a higher risk for molestation. Homosexuals are not all child molesters, just like not all heterosexuals are perfect human beings with no pedophiliac/incestual tendencies.
Pedophilia does not equal homosexuality.

What makes homosexuals less people than heterosexuals? Why do they automatically become "child molesters" if they have a child of their same sex. Would you look at an average family with a mom, a dad, a son, and a daughter and think, "Oh, Daddy must be diddling his daughter" because he's straight. Since he's straight, that automatically means he must be attracted to all females, right? Now, how ridiculous does it sound when put to you like that? Just because a guy likes other guys doesn't mean he's a sick freak or if a girl likes other girls, she'll molest her own daughter.

I figure homosexual people have the exact same odds when it comes to whether their offspring are attracted to the same or opposite gender.

i know his pain. a gay family doesn't make gay children. the influence a parent has on a child is a key factor in thier sexual preference. this girl is being made to dress like a boy is a form of abuse mental. the mother is pressing her views and desires on her daughter and that is not right. it seems like she is trying to make the girl gay, influenceing her physical appearance influence what she thinks inside also. and who knows what she is telling her about her father or men in general. he needs to get her out of htat situation before it gets worse. not because his ex is gay but because of the things she is doing now or could do later. the child needs a chance to decide what she wants. something else must be going on if a daughter wants to leave her mother.

the studies i have seen point out that gays and lesbians are quite able to raise and love their children just like heterosexual parents are and gays and lesbians are no more likely to molest a child than a heterosexual.

in this world where children are homeless, hungry and orphaned with no one to love them and nuture them i think it is a shame to prevent people regardless of their sexual orientation from adopting children.

being gay or lesbian is rarely a lifestyle someone learns or just decides to do for the heck of it. i have seen no studies saying that gay parents raise gay children.

it could happen. it all depends on what the child has seen, or hasnt seen. the child will get confused and go for what its parents believe is ok. and no on the others. lesbianism is not a higher risk for molestation on girls. and gay fathers is not a higher risk for molestation on sons.

You have to be kidding. You have to be from the South. You are assuming that a gay parent has either fathered or mothered a child. Seeing that most "gay" people do not have sex with the opposite sex, they cannot genetically contribute to a child. Therefore, they must adopt----which is wrong----but it happens.

So, the child they adopt is the product of a heterosexual union. Meaning, the gay couple doesn't have the child.

IF----however, a lesbian has artificial insemination, then they are proving that being gay does not conform to creation objectives! Therefore, if a Lesbian subjects herself to artificial insemination, she is validating the premise that same-sexes should not be couples.

Good luck with all that. Either way---If the premise that gays are "born that way," then the gay "race" should be extinguished as soon as they stop having sex with the opposite sex. But then, if they had sex with the opposite sex, they would not be gay! Right?

So, I guess being gay is a myth. They're just not confident in being with the opposite sex. Who knows........

The government's new theory is that a cell in your brain malfunctions and you become homosexual, to be simple. Therefore, going by the government's reasoning, it could be hereditary. But I believe that's bullshit, and the sexual orientation of the parents has NO influence on their children, except to maybe repress their true sexuality.

Many straight adults were raised by Gay / Lesbian parents. They've been on shows like Oprah, Donahue, and Springer over the last 20+ years.

And, yea (like the comment before mine clearly says), many gay adults (like me and my husband) were raised by straight (wonderful, loving, non-abusive) parents (like mine and his). Go figure.

straight parent raise gay children all the time. Where in the hell do you think gays come from? anyway it wouldn't make sense for a gay parent to be more likely to molest their children or raise a child that comes to be gay.
