Speaking of gays raising children I hope you guys saw American Dad last night. It was about the gay couple who have a baby girl and one of their ex-pro football player, gay hating fathers came for a visit. LOL I am still laughing at that one.

Rodger, the obviously gay alien from outer space was a riot. I hope some of you check this show out. It is odd a producer (Seth McFarlain) has two hit shows (Family Guy, American Dad) airing back to back. Thank you Fox for that treat last night.

Surprise, surprise. kids who are raised by parents who actually fought to have and raise them turn out okay. Color me shocked. This reminds me of the Popular Science weekly column entitled "science confirms the obvious."

it takes a village, people. (sorry.)

@Helga Von Ornstein: No, Helga, thank you (for the endorsement)…

(Watch The Family Guy, Sundays at 9:00 EST, only on FOX)

why is this title the opposite of the article's findings? the title doesn't really make sense at all.

No Big surprise here…perhaps Obama should watch American Dad…

A study I recently read (found it by googling something like "gay, outcomes, child") concluded that children in gay-parent household have outcomes similar to those in straight-parent households, except that the kids with gay parents are more creative and tolerant, and man we certainly can't have that!

@brian: It's really not.

@alan brickman: Considering Obama isn't against gay adoption….I'm really not sure what your point was.

I would be interested to see a study done that actually involves the grown children of gay couples and how they, themselves feel about it.

All of the studies are about the adults and if they are capable, but not about the children themselves really.

There was a study done by two USC Sociologists a few years ago and there was no significant evidence to anything other than children raised by gay parents were more likely to question their sexuality by having same sex experiences (experimenting).

I have twoo friends raised by gay parents: The male friend of mine was raised by his lesbian mother and he is very resentful.

My other friend is female, raised by an abusive mother. Her mother's best friend was a gay man and he is sort of her adopted father (they have given each other the titles of father/daughter) and his long term partner is her "Uncle." She credits him for her affectionate side, as her mother was not! However, he never actually took responsiblity for her or her welfare and as an adult, he has actually not been a real father figure for her.

I would be really interested to see/hear information from the grown kids perspective…

Loving and supporting caregivers make the best parents, no matter the gender/orientation.
