Since children can only be produced via coitus of a man and a woman, it has been assumed the norm that the people who made them should be the ones to raise them.
And in the case of adoptions, the same norm of a father and a mother has been applied because its the normal way to do things.
Why is it so hard to comprehend, or rather, to accept?
mehmet, normal, nowadays isn't that.
Normal is a loving family.
Abnormal is what those kids had: a brutal family and little prospects of them becoming anything more than delinquents.
Many kids, nowadays, are raised by single parents, and yet.... I see no one claiming that's wrong or abnormal.... I see no one forcing people to stay together, so they raise the kids properly.... why? Because it wouldn't work!
Does it work with single parents? more or less....
Why would it work any less if there are two parents of the same gender?
What's the fear, here? As far as I see it, the only "problem" the kid will have is that it will grow up to be fully tolerant of gay people.
Some may claim there's an increased chance that the kid will become gay itself... I haven't seen any studies hinting in that direction (nor any other direction), but a person's sexuality doesn't seem to hinge on social pressures.... it seems to be mostly genetic, so I see no reason to fear such outcome.
The gay couple, at least for now, may tend to encourage the kid (when the time comes) to explore his/her sexuality to the fullest, in order to find the best partner possible... but that doesn't mean that the kid will become gay. These people tend to be the most respectful of others' sexualities, so I foresee little to no trouble in the kids future, on that subject.
On every other subject, two parents are always better than one.
