does gay couples make better parents than straight couples?

Answer 1

In my opinion I would say no!, the reasons are many, when
a child is growing up, he is looking at two parents, of the same sex, so his parents can tell him anything they want, like when you grow up we"ll tell you, or it's a choice, like anything else,,,, but i dont think it is a choice, I dont think its natural, and children usually, learn by example, and not words.
I think a child needs the love of a woman, and a man, no matter how feminine, one partner is in a gay relationship.
I really think that the child will grow up messd up, no matter, how much those "gay" parents, may really love that child!
EDIT- a lot of votes for gay parents, Does this show something, or they cant face the TRUTH!. The only way I would want to see a child in the care of gays is, if that kid is homeless, or completely alone!.
This the only reservation i have against gay life!.
There's someone says, Gays dont squabble, they are more tolerant, there is really no difference there!
and I am not saying gays are bad, or heteros, are better, I take this stand only on raising a child!. thanks.

Answer 2

the word is Do gay couples, it is not regarded as being seen to be right for same sex parents to have children. But if they can bring the child up in a loving, caring, safe environment then why not. They will probably make better parents because they had to fight to earn that label. None of us are born to be parents, it just happen and some are better than others, some see as a way of getting a house with the council some see as a god given right, but what ever way people chose very child come into the world the same way but some a treated better than others and that's the sad part.

Answer 3

It's good you are interested in topics like this. I don't think we can generalise the whole straight couples and gay couples. At the end of the day, you need to study each couple as an individual couple. I was brough up by my own parents, but they were very bad parents. I am sure children would want to know who their biological parents are and good parents would always be honest with their adopted children and do their best to explain. I don't think they would suffer because of lack of a motherly or fatherly figure. As long as they can see that two human beings can form a loving relationship with each other and both of them care for the children. But if your school or teacher is a religious one, they might not want you to think about it, they might just want you to write down what they want to hear.

Answer 4

I don't think sexuality has anything to do with raising kids. Though the one major difference between gay and straight couples, is that for gay couples, it takes a major commitment and a lot of careful planning; with straight couples, all it takes is a fifth of Jack and a fold-down rear seat. So, I think that in many cases, gay parents are much better prepared and educated before making the commitment.

Answer 5

A gay couple might do a better job than a couple of horrible straight parents but kids really should have their actual parents raising them. It's probably better to be raised by two gay people than be an orphan.

Answer 6

♥ I think that it doesnt matter whether a couple is heterosexual or homosexual. I think it matters on how the couple raises & treats their child. Gay parents are probably more open minded than SOME heterosexual parents, so that might help on some issues, but a family with a set of gay parents is no different than any other. They get their kids up, take them to school (or wutever), go to work, cook dinner, they watch movies together or whatever ... its the same thing...

Dear Ryan above:
Don't kid yourself. A child needs LOVE, consistency, patience and trust---whether it comes from a mom & a dad or a single mom OR dad or two parents who are the same sex...Children who are loved no matter WHAT the parental situation turn out to be loving adults. My child was brought up without a father and YES, the "ideal" situation MIGHT have been having 2 parents, but his father decided he wanted nothing to DO with his son EVER... BUT, I showed my son enough love, attention, consistency that he grew up to be a healthy VERY STABLE, well rounded 29 year old man . No one has the right to KNOCK the way someone brings up their children IF IT IS WORKING and if the children are not abused, not mistreated and if the children are HAPPY with their "family unit"....no matter WHO the parents are... I've seen a LOT of kids with a mother AND a father who ended up pretty screwed up IN SPITE of their parents.. or maybe BECAUSE of them... ... Two people of the same sex COULD be just as good or BETTER then a Mother/Father household......

Answer 8

it can be, maybe some gay couples be a better parent than some straight couples.
it's all depends on the parents and the parenting style.

Answer 9

good question i am not gay nor a gay supporter but i would like to see some facts on this but i would say it would be the same because even though a gay couple is the same sex most assume a male and female identity and before the gay ppl give me thumbs down one partner is the feminine and masculine so i would say it would not matter if its a gay or not your going to get the same results
like i said before i am not gay or support gay rights so this is me being open minded

Answer 10

This is actually true, the American Pediatrics Society has done studies that has found that children raised in a gay household tend to be more well adjusted and show signs of recieving more love than children raised in Heterosexual households.

The studies that were done are indicitive of society as a whole rather than each individual family. I am not stating this to upset straight families, but to point out research that has been done.
