Can lesbian moms answer this too?
I've loved every minute of raising my son, my partner got to miss the terrible twos and finicky fives, lucky her...but truly he's a wonderful young man now.
Yes, I do believe gay fathers can be just as nuturing, loving and caring as any dad.
If you are willing to loose sleep, care for another persons entire being, be there for first steps, first scrapes, first ball to be thrown, first baby doll to be loved, first day of school, first football game or first school dance, to give loving advice and carry out due punishment when a lesson needs to be learned, then yes, you're ready to be a parent!
God bless all parents! The children in our lives are truly a gift.

My roommate and I have had a bunch of chats about family, hes straight, he knows im gay, and personally I don't think I would be a good father because I'm too self-critical and I don't want my child to acquire my faults.
I don't think being gay changes your ability to be a nurturing parent. We all have the ability to nurture just the same, I think that openly gay men are more comfortable being affectionate/nurturing than SOME straight men. I know a lot of straight men that are amazing fathers and I think the majority are so don't take the last opinion the wrong way.

In my fantasy, I can be a great father... however, I can't imagine ever getting someone pregnant! Also, I have learned that when I love someone, I tend to worry my *** off over them... so, I think that maybe I might be more of a neurotic mother than a nurturing father!!
Love,
Gregory

I think being a dad!... gay or strait is a big deal ,you love your kids,and do your best for them, just the same and contrary to popular belief being gay doesn't have much effect on the kids one way or the other ....good isn't it

People have told me that I would have made a wonderful father...but it's not something I ever wanted to do...I really don't have much time for kids...Sounds kind of incongruous, I guess, but I think they just think I'm a kind, caring person.

My biological daughter is 16 and thinks I'm a great dad....usually.
I don't think our orientation has a thing in the world to do with being fathers....only a moron or a bigot would think that.

To be honest, I didn't like kids even when I was a kid. I remember a school teacher who was Jewish and we discussed the aspect of religion and discrimination on society while on recess. I was in 5th grade. I don't relate to kids and that is just an aspect of who I am.

I think I am a good dad...
(the adoption was finalized last week)
Does being gay make me more nuturing, no...I don't believe so, I had great role models

He could desire to be gay or bisexual, however the element is that he's with you, and he says he loves you. you could desire to believe one yet another in a dating, and without believe you will consistently have those "what if" strategies.

Gender preference implies parenting skills. Please.
Who you decided to make love with has nothing to do with you skills as a parent.
