As someone who grew up with no parents, I can honestly I would have done anything to have some, male or female. Luckily now I have some though so it is fine.
But honestly do you think same sex couples don't raise kids as well as opposite sex couples?! I often find that because same sex couples feel they have a responsibility to prove themselves as good parents, they are often very dedicated and loving in comparison with some of the lousy opposite sex parents. Just saying.
