[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do children of gays and adopted children feel pressure to say good things about their parents?[/quote]

I don't. I can't speak for other people, but having read a bit around the internet, there are a LOT of adopted children who speak out against their adoptive parents. [/quote]

But few children raised by gay parents say anything negative, which makes me wonder. It can't be the perfect scenario that you make it up to be...not calling troll, but really. I notice this trend where the kids of gay parents come out saying life was perfect, almost in defense of gay rights for no ther reason. 
Also, wrt the menstruation thing. It is more complex than you might have understood. Explaining ovulatory pain and sympotoms, what not to wear, menstrual diarrhea, when not to get in the pool, and that it's never over 'til its over are all things that another woman needs to explain. If you have not had a period, it is hard to describe all of that. I find it sad that your fathers did not try to get a woman involved with those issues. I know a few women whose mothers got as involved as your fathers did, and they felt that their mothers could have been more caring and involved.
Sorry, I am not against gay adoption, but [b]let's be real[/b]. [/quote]

OP here. Look, I can, as I said above, only speak for myself. Being that I've never taken anything more than Tylenol a few times for cramps, never worn white when I have my period, and know what menopause is, I'm fairly confident my parents did a fine job herding me through puberty. You can be convinced all you want that girls need mothers, but I am a former girl, now woman, who will remain firmly convinced that girls just need good parents, regardless of gender. My parents were PLENTY "caring and involved" and I am being VERY real when I say that I would rather go through childhood with them than with some random, average mother/father combo. If you honestly think a man can't explain menopause or what causes cramps, then let's be real - you have sadly had the wrong men surrounding you in life. My fathers gave me a well-rounded childhood, which turned me into a much more open-minded person than you are (thank for proving my earlier point). [/quote]

You sound like a good person, kudos to your parents. [/quote]
