[quote=Anonymous]OP, you are a closed-minded bigot. Not that this gives me any real credibility on an anonymous online forum, but I recently completed my Master's degree in a field where many of my peers are studying alternatively-structured families.

Recent research has shown conclusively that children raised by same sex couples are not at higher risk for negative outcomes than children raised by heterosexual couples. It's been studied, it's been decided, sorry OP but you're wrong.

More importantly, heterosexual families are not the "gold standard" to which alternative family structures need to live up to. Families are unique and of all the factors that predict negative or positive outcomes for children, family structure is not a major one. SES, parent's level of education, access to education, early exposure to trauma... these are all exponentially more influential than whether little Timmy has 2 moms or 2 dads or a single, cross-dressing, transgendered mom, or whatever the hell else.
