What’s the evidence that same-sex parenting may bias children towards a homosexual 'lifestyle'?

Answer 1

There is no evidence. Same-sex parents raise well-adjusted children who are very tolerant of others. The only problems the children ever seem to encounter are those presented by the bigots who would disrespect the parents. That's not the fault of same-sex parenting, it's the fault of an intolerant society.

Same-sex parenting has no bearing on a child's sexuality.

Answer 3

The American Academy of Pediatrics' Committee on Psychosocial Aspects of Child and Family Health issued a report in 2002, the most recent comprehensive review of gay-parenting studies. It found no meaningful differences between children raised by gay parents and those raised by heterosexual parents.

The committee reviewed scientific literature encompassing three broad sets of studies. The first set assessed the attitudes, behavior and adjustments of lesbian and gay parents and found, according to the AAP report, "more similarities than differences in the parenting styles and attitudes of gay and nongay fathers." Likewise, the research showed that lesbian mothers scored the same as heterosexual mothers in "self-esteem, psychologic adjustment and attitudes toward child rearing."
