I am in a relationship with a woman. One day we will have a child. I have no doubt that the child will be raised in the best possible way, and I am not concerned as to undue influences which the child will be subjected to. (I was raised by a single parent and had many many influences on my life to get me to where I am now). I am only asking others to share their experiences with this. I am fully aware that society does not create the best environment for any child to be born into and would love to hear others experiences - either being same sex parents, or the child of same sex parents. All I can find whilst searching through past questions is should gay parents be allowed to adopt or the wrongs of gay parenting - so any positive feedback would be much appreciated :)

(N.B for those of you who wish to spew your hate upon me as to the wrongs of my question - its water off a ducks back - nothing you have to say will change my views on who I am or the legitimacy of me having a child)

My Aunt (who I am very close with) is a lesbian. So my cousin, who grew up with her, was raised by a lesbian who was dating. She had 3 serious relationships through the course of his childhood. He was really popular in high school, he is hillarious and really individual, he always has had cool girl friends, and right now he's engaged. He's an awesome guy but he can be really sarcastic and mean which hurts some peoples feelings and I don't really know where that comes from. All in all though, he's had a great life, better than many people I know with heterosexual parents. Good luck to you!!

well, i think unless you get some really young answerers on here, you wont find anyone past the age of 18 that have gay/lesbian parents.
I am in a relationship also with a women and we plan to have children. I think no matter where u are or what u do, you will always have ridicule for this because we live in an idiotic, unedjucated, hateful society full of bible thumpers that will always judge us, no matter if we get equal rights or not. So I say, go on girl, have a family, raise them the best you and your wife can, and f uck what everyone else thinks.

The child will grow up confused as to sexual identity and will be unable to live a normal male-female relationship. It is not "wrong" in terms of raising a child because you want to raise a child out of love but it is a great deteriment to the child not to experience the normal and usual male-female interaction between a male father and a female mother.

I was, like 99.9 % of us, born to and raised by straight parents. a parents sexual orientation has no bearing on their child's orientation....if it did, wouldn't we all be straight? the "haters" always seem to forget that little fact.....
I have gay/lesbian friends who have straight kids. kinda blows that ignorant, stereotypical line of thinking out of the water for the homophobes, now doesn't it? it's genetic....nothing influences the sexual orientation of a child.
