The sexuality and development of children of homosexual parents must be most affected by the education of homosexual parents. Does having gay parents affect a child's mental health and growth? Can education and socialization be diminished with the presence of homosexual parents? How is it possible that children are not affected by having two parents of the same sex? Doesn't this cause some gender confusion for the child? How can a child develop properly without the experience of a male and female role model? Is the child at risk of being attacked by a homosexual parent? A woman teaches a child how to love, be caring and provides him with a maternal education that only a mother can give him, while a man teaches a child to be strong, disciplined and provides him with a fatherly education. Don't children need both of these gender advantages to be a stable, heterosexual child? If this balance is disrupted, is it impossible for a child to be attracted strictly to the opposite sex? Will all children of same-sex marriages become gay themselves in the future, or are people born gay? Is there a hormonal imbalance in gay men and women? There would have to be a certain type of female hormone that gay men have in abnormal amounts of to become gay, and women would have to have a high level of the male hormone to be lesbian. Does genetics have anything to do with whether a person is gay or not? If this is the case, how could we ever know if homosexuality is an innate trait or if it is simply caused by a child's upbringing? Homosexual children are born every day to heterosexual parents. So why should a homosexual parent have a heterosexual child? And does it make a difference if the child is adopted or born through a surrogate mother, with the father or mother being gay and seeking to raise the child with their gay partner? Literature Review A study was carried out with a two-year-old boy who was withdrawn in class. It was noted that he was raised by two lesbian women. Dr. Ellen C. Perrin of New England Medical Center reports: “There is ample scientific evidence that these children are at no increased risk in their educational, cognitive, emotional, or sexual development compared to children who grow up with heterosexual parents. » (Steiner 2002). “Research suggests that children of gay and lesbian parents have similar psychological adjustment... middle of article... comments. “In summary, there is no credible scientific evidence that children of gay or lesbian parents are at an emotional, cognitive, or social disadvantage compared to children of heterosexual parents. There appear to be some differences in their interpersonal skills and emotional expressiveness that may distinguish them from some of their peers. (Perrin 2002). I think the Conservative vote against same-sex marriage and same-sex parenting will make it difficult to increase the number of children in same-sex families. Although I support same-sex parenting, I was very surprised to find that the child shows absolutely no gender confusion and has no male or female role in the family. I think there are enough studies and research to show that same-sex parenting has as much validity as heterosexual parenting, and that should be the deciding factor for allowing same-sex parenting without questions or moral standards.
