A major roadblock in gays and lesbians getting the right to marry is the implication that they'll be granted full rights to raise children, but a great deal of people who are against gay marraige (who are wise enough to exclude religious implications, since no one cares about what God thinks anymore these days) are afraid that gays who raise children will raise them homosexual.

Has anyone yet thought of conducting an experiment where exceptionally young foster children are given into custody of gay, lesbian, and straight parents and their behavior and development is carefully monitored over the course of their lives? It's already upsetting to enough people that gays come out of straight homes, but don't we need to carefully study which household brings about which sexuality? If the results of the experiment follow no recognizable pattern, then it would be proven that sexuality of the children is NOT a result of the sexuality of the parents, and gays could be allowed to have kids.

The experiment you describe would be considered "placing a child in danger" according to the most conservative. The issue is emotional enough now without this.

There was some work done in the 1980's which interviewed adults who were raised as child by gay or lesbian couples. The results were somewhat surprising and few of the studies were able to get published.

The largest study concluded that compared to straight couple households, children of gay and lesbian couples showed no significant increase in gay or lesbian behavior later in life. However, bi-sexuality was increased about 10 fold almost being equal to the numbers which were straight in their adult relationships.

America does not seem ready for this information.

Current studies tend to dwell on the safety and "social adjustment" of the children, but do not continue to track the child into adulthood. The few that do, tend to ignore the Bi-sexuality issue and concentrate on a "Same Sex" vs. "Not Same Sex." See the site below:

Thebest solution can be to shoot at sight all the gays and lesbians, before they grow much large in number. Anyhthing that is against nature, and anybody forcing to surpass thenature should be dealt with firmly.

The society which turn blind eyes to the problems of enunch an throw them into dust bins has no right to be sympathetic towards to the gays and lesbians.

Technically speaking, this does not be an test, because of the fact there could be no randomization of babies and fogeys, no administration communities, and the findings of causation could be open to super question without controlling for different variables. in spite of the undeniable fact that, sociological study are being performed. the outcomes so far are as you expected, that there is not any significant correlation between the sexual orientation of the mothers and dads and the later sexual orientation of the babies. there is homophobia implied in those study, in spite of the undeniable fact that. Their very premise means that elevating a baby in an ecosystem it is plenty greater possibly to bring about homosexuality is a destructive ingredient. A non-homophobic point of view could state that the eventual sexual orientation of the baby is immaterial because of the fact there is not any better cost assigned to the two heterosexuality or homosexuality.
