"I wonder how the children of bigoted, homophobic parents grow up. i would think they will tend to be like their parents, with little tolerance for those who are different in any way be it gay, disabled, a different religion of race. I suspect the children of lesbians grow up to be very tolerant of other people."
Going by your statement, do children with gay parents not only grow up very tolerant of other people but also become gay themselves. Think about what you are saying. Interesting. From my experience, lesbians are among some of the most unaccepting people i have met. For a small minority group pushing so hard for acceptance it doesn't hurt to be accepting yourself. I just hope these children are being brought up by gay couples for the right reasons and not just to fulfill some selfish need. There are obviuos reasons why kids need good role models, both male and female. Its easy to say the kids shouldn't be or wouldn't be bullied etc. but the honest and harsh truth is they will be and big time! Try thinking of what their life will be like growing up and not what your life will be like bringing them up. I really would have thought that part of making the choice to be gay was not having children, it is impossible to conceive afterall, maybe for a reason? The primal urge to procreate is all about immortality, your children live on and so on and so on. When your own child is born you experience the closest thing to immortality, an experience that cannot be replicated.
