Hey conservatives! Why is gay parenting bad?

I am doing a paper on how a childs sexuality ISN'T affected by having gay parents. However, I only have sources supporting that argument, and I would like some comments AGAINST it, just for good paper's sake. Please use complete sentences and proper english so that I can quote you.Hey conservatives! Why is gay parenting bad?
Ok, my answer is short








A child born into a gay couple is subjected to cruel bullying by there peers.Dont belive me trust me im in highschool and i cant tell you how many times i hear someone say'; look its a homo'; or '; Hey Cock knocker'; not to use vulgar langauge but do you get my point?Hey conservatives! Why is gay parenting bad?
The issue conservatives have with homosexual parenting isn't that they may turn out to be homosexual as well. The concern is the child is then subject to strong criticism, stress and bullying which they never asked for or deserved. As a Christian I believe a family is made up of a married mother (female) and father (male) and children.








*When asking others to use proper English it is wise to do the same.
I believe in traditional marriage. At certain points in a child's life, they need a different parent. My son needs to play catch %26amp; rough play with his father. He needs to cuddle with me. A boy learns how to be a father %26amp; husband from his own father. He also learns how to treat a woman by the way his father treats his mother. These are very important life lessons. This is the same with girls. Imagine the kind of ';daddy issues'; a girl would have with having no father, not even an absentee father. I could imagine that it would be very confusing. Women %26amp; men are very different in their parenting styles. Children need both of these.





This said, I also believe that there is no such thing as a perfect family. The most important thing is love. I am not against gay parenting, in general. I just believe that many gay parents do not consider the fact that a child needs someone to fill in the missing role. This could be easily corrected with a ';father figure';. It is basic child development.
The sexual orientation of the parents does not influence how good they may be as parents. And you'd think in this day and age where there are thousands of kids in need of adoptive homes, we'd be less particular about letting gays adopt and raise children. But we're not, at least not in the US, where gay couples undergo a lot of fire in many ways, including the field of parenting. This leads me to the impression that people care less about kids having good homes, and care more about punishing people who live lifestyles they just don't agree with.





I don't see the need for a child to have both a male and female role model. If that was the case, then shouldn't single parents be forbidden from raising children? This argument only establishes the societal importance of biased gender roles, and that's wrong.
Children need good male and female role models. God created families to have a mother and father. But, it's not that the people are bad, or that they are bad parents. We just see it as they are living in sin and raising their children in a way that God did not create. Because the same sex parent family is a relatively new thing, we have yet to see the results of this type of parenting and see how the children fit in to society and how they turn out. Again, I am not saying that they are bad people or that they are bad parents. I guess I just feel like if they want to choose to live that way it is their choice, but it would be nice if they didn't bring a child into that family. Tough question.
A child needs love first and foremost. It is better for a child to be raised by gay parents than, say, to be raised in foster care that is inconsistent. That being said, the BEST place for a child to be raised is with a man and a woman.





Today's society pushes the notion that men and women aren't that different. Everything a woman can do a man can do just as well (i.e nurture a baby). Everything a man can do, a woman can do just as well (i.e. be decisive, less emotional). If this notion is actually true, then there is nothing wrong with gay parenting at all.





From my personal experience and from observations from nature, the sexes ARE different. They both have roles and have roles because they have different strengths and weaknesses. Women are typically more nurturing, mothering (that's why they're ';mothers';), loving, gentle, kind. Men are typically more decisive, assertive, logical and thus less emotional. In a child's development, they will be in need of all of these characteristics to support them. You are more likely to be exposed to these qualities in a male/female parent household.





In my opinion, gay parenting as well as single parent parenting is not the BEST situation for a child. When the option is there, say in adoption, I vote for male/female adoption.





In situations where a gay couple, a gay single, a straight single decides to have a child on their own (not through adoption), I feel that it is wrong to purposefully (that's the key word) deny a child the love of a mother or father.
You are correct. A person's sexual preference does have no bearing on their ability to be a good parent. However, the Bible teaches the homosexuality is against what God's design is for marriage and sex. As a Christian I don't support the lifestyle, but I never said that a gay couple should not be able to adopt or have a child.





However God's design for a family is for there to a be a married man and woman raising their kids together.
recent studies have revealed that a child's sexuality can indeed be influenced by having homosexual parents. because they develop less


';rigid'; views of sexuality, they are more likely to experiment with homosexuality.

EDIT - how do you get a thumbs down for quoting a study containing information that was requested by the asker? I personally don't have any feeling toward gay parents one way or another - but statistics are statistics- geez.
Now I am not bashing gay's at all, I have on in my family. However, I beleive children need a good female and male romodel in their lives. I'm not saying they can not be good parents, but that is kind of what I am saying. A child needs a mother and a father
I dont see anything wrong with it.I do feel bad for the ignorant child peers who cant get over the fact that the childs parents have a different sexuality than most.
It promotes immorality.
