I'm not too sure if they raise kids "better." I do however believe (with some) the stereotype is a drive to be the best as with most people who carry any stereotype.
I would understand this commotion with same-sex parenting back in the fifties--when divorce was unheard of and parenting was typically easier due to a lack of negative influences. But now with the divorce rate reaching 50% of American families--I don't see how people can complain. There are so many same-sex marriages that work well--sometimes more functional then most heterosexual marriages. I just don't see the problem with adoption when there are so many kids to adopt.
Anyway--I feel it's a matter of judgment to say what is "better." I'm not here to pass judgment so I really can't tell you.

Absolutely not. Everyone is an individual with different personalities. I've know bad parents who are opposite sexes. There are good and bad in everything. The people who raise children should have good moral values. But that's not always the case. You usually can't pick your parents.

Why not? There have been hundreds of stories of well-adjusted happy kids who have same-sex parents. Yes. In my opinion, same-sex parents can also raise good and responsible children. Period.

As long as same sex parents allow their kids to be who they are and guide them in the right direction for social behavior. Then yes in some cases a child is raised better. Because they actually care.

I don't think so, only because homosexuality is wrong. To raise a child in that environment is wrong. To force a child to grow up and believe in this way is wrong. This is not the way it was meant to be.
With that said, I think more heterosexual couples need to work harder to extend their hand at parenting and succeed through consistency and love for their children.

No, because women tend to do stuff like housecleaning better while the men go to work (I'm not trying to be sexist), so their living condition could be different which could have an impact on the children.

I don't think it matters. It is love and understanding that raise good kids. Also some good discipline which many children these days lack.

I think some definitely do !!! I have had friends with same sex parents and they were never teased or had any worse a time at school than anyone else and grew up well balanced and happy.. I think there are good parents and bad parents and it doesn't matter what sex age or occupation they have if they are good parents they are good parents..

NO
"Same sex parents" are people.
People are either good or bad parents. Regardless of who they sleep with.
Same sex parents cannot be either better or worse than male/female parents.
Please...
