NO
Homosexuality is not a "disease" as many people like to treat it. Just because someone does not have the same sexual preference as you does not mean that they are in some way a sexual deviant. Children can be harmed by Heterosexuals too. It is not the prefference that is the problem it is the person who chooses to be a pervert.
And living near someone, with different lifestyles or ideas from yours is not going to mentally harm or change your child if you are protecting them from the imprtant things.
Worry about more important factors like neighbors making and selling drugs in the house next to you or registered child molesters. Those are something that actually can hurt your child. Not 2 men or women living their lives peacfully next to you.

The world is changing every day and most our children seem to adapt. Everyone is different but still we are all equal. Years ago we wondered how our children would adapt to so many mixed marriages. We wondered how they could adapt to broken homes. We wonder how they adapt in homes where there is so much abuse. No home life is Ozzie and Harriet perfect. To be truth full your kids probably won't even notice unless you point it out to them and then I would say it is you that has the problem with them. I bet they are great neighbors. I have a couple that lives across the street from me and I couldn't ask for nicer neighbors verse that halfway house down the road from us. Now tell me what would rather have?

No more so than I would be worried about the mental health of my kids if I live near heterosexual couples.
But mostly I fear xenophobes. Those freaks just scare the hell out of me, and I wouldn't let my child unattended around them or without a breathing mask and gloves on. Sterilized radiation suits would be nice too, but scrubs at the bare minimum.

As much as I disagree with homosexuality, I am not going to try to shelter my child from it. That's just reality. If he has questions, I'll be honest, but I'd be stupid to try to raise him in such a sheltered little bubble. He needs to know what the real world really is. Besides, I know several lesbians, and they adore my son. I don't care that he's around them anymore than I'd care if he was around an unmarried couple living together. I will raise him with a certain set of morals that I believe are appropriate, but that doesn't mean I keep him from the things I disagree with.

I personally am not. Even though I grew up in a fairly religious home and attended a Catholic college, I don't mind having homosexuals nearby my child. As long as they are polite, courteous people, why should I care? I want my child to grow up knowing that everyone is different and that we should judge them on how they are inside. I had to grow up sort of an outcast because my parents came with the wave of new refugee immigrants during the early 90's. We grew up poor and from a different culture, so I know what it's like to be judged. It made me stronger, however, especially in college, because I was able to see things from a much wider perspective than my classmates, and that is what I hope my son will be able to achieve. I see people who are so sheltered and naive, and I truly pity them for their lack of knowledge. I would never want my child(ren) to judge anyone for something they cannot control (and yes, I know there are people out there who do not believe homosexuality is genetic).

Living near or even talking to homosexual people has no effect on anyones mental health.
You are worrying about something that is rediculous.
Go to google and type Wikipedia, click it and go on to the site.
When you get there, look up homosexuality

I would be worried about the mental health of my children if their parents asked close-minded questions like this. Possibly check into some parent/child classes in your area if you are worried about their mental health.

No. I'd worry more about the mental health of my children if I lived near a homophobe.
