Gay And Lesbians Are Capable Of Parenting

Gay and Lesbians are capable of parenting

Society has been immune to believe gays and lesbians are not capable of parenting as someone heterosexual. The fact is gay and lesbians are very well capable of parenting an adoptive child. There have been arguments regarding this controversial subject, for example children raised by gay or lesbian parents will be more likely to grow up gay themselves. As well as lesbians and gay men are more likely to molest children.

Good parenting is not influenced by sexual orientation, it's influenced most profoundly by a parents ability to create a loving and nurturing home.( ACLU fact sheetÐ'--overview of lesbians and foster care).

Children raised by gay or lesbian parents will be more likely to grow up gay themselves is not true. If that was the case then why do heterosexuals end up raising a child is gay. The sexual preference of a parent does not impact the child's sexual orientation. A child can be raised with a gay couple and still turn out to like the opposite sex.

Another ridiculous argument about gays and lesbians are there more likely to molest children. There was a case study which 74% of the pedophilia offenders were heterosexual men. A child is at risk of being molested by a relative or friend of a heterosexual partner.

Another reason why society claim gays and lesbians shouldn't be able to adopt is because children will be harassed and teased by other children. Children will be children whether there raised in a heterosexual or homosexual household. Children will be teased for just about anything from being short, tall, skinny, fat etc. A child being teased about there parents being gay isn't any different from them being teased because there parents are fat. Being harassed and teased by children is just a part of growing up.

In conclusion lesbians and gay parents have normal relationships
