If she wanted to write about gay marriage then she went about this all wrong. This is dragging anyone with a family not made up of a mother and father rather than just a same-sex couple. Plus, Not every gay couple wants kids. She is after an existing figure, had this been titled why I am against gay adoption or why I still need a male figure in my life then that would've been more on topic of her essay - which is still sloppy.

Dolce&Gabbana also started their opinion with not agreeing about gay-related themes but are now boycotted by even straight couples because their explanations insulted ANYONE who ever used surrogacy.

Both of these start out as gay-related but then end up dragging every family who is not made up of both a mother and father, regardless if the parent(s) are straight or not. Even though D&G sink deeper every time they try to defend themselves, they are still speaking not like her who writes a public letter then refuses to be interviewed *rolls eyes*

how is she wrong though? Parents of the same sex don't provide the same structure that a straight couple has, no matter what scientific research say these are just facts lol

I don't understand why this was warned.

I know some of you don't want to hear it, but the fact that a child can only be conceived by man and a woman is more than just "gender roles". Studies have shown how important it is for children to have a father figure and a mother figure in their lives.

I mean tbh (I'll probably get warned for this), some of ya'll need to look at yourselves and how your own estranged relationships with your fathers affected you, especially with all this "daddy" nonsense in every thread

EDIT: And can you guys NOT take everything out of context? She's NOT saying she wanted her deadbeat father to raise her, she's saying that she had a void in her life and needed a male figure to fill it.

Thank you Though many same-sex couples can raise children as well as other couples, a difference between the sex of the parents has been proven scientifically to be better in raising a child. Please note that I use the term sex, not gender--sex is a biological difference and gender is a socially-constructed difference.

Also, I'm not implying that same-sex couples love their children any less. My views are purely from a scientific stance.

i can guarantee you that same sex parents are better parents to their children than heterosexual parents. why? because many times they have to fight to even adopt a child. they dont just get knocked up in the backseat of a car and then think well i guess we just have to deal with this kid.

Like I said, my views are purely scientifically-based. Love isn't the only thing necessary for raising a child, after all. It's also about the environment in which the child is raised. The sex of the child's parents plays a key role in how said environment is shaped.

Again, I'm not denying that some same-sex couples are better parents than other couples.
