You wouldn't even think for a moment about parents influencing their childrens religion, political views, personality, or many other defining features.(06-07-2013, 12:56 AM)VallyTeacake Wrote:(06-06-2013, 07:59 PM)Burrito Warrior Wrote: This is a touchy subject, whilst I wouldn't mind gay marriage being allowed it's more children I'm concerned about.

Jus' saying.
There's absolutely no evidence to suggest to suggest children of gay couples turn out to be any different than children of straight couples or turn out to be worse families. In fact, recent studies show it tends to be the opposite(Source). The only real reason to feel uncomfortable with same sex parents raising children is an irrational distrust of anything new, or different, which is a terrible reason to base laws and rights on.
Kids raised by same sex parents will be encouraged to have a relationship like their parents, because parents are one of the biggest influences in a kids life. It predisposes a kid to want a same sex relationship, even if they don't have a natural tendency for that behavior. That's why I'm with Burrito on this one.
How do you know that they will already be gay? It's a choice.
