paul, please do not take this as a flippant comment after your first hand account and insight. But when I was on college one of my friends was raised by his gay dad and his partner. It was the 1980’s and not something that was common or commonly spoken of, and certainly not something that was supported by the majority. Anyways, that friend is a big part of my view on the subject today. Not only was he straight (he felt you were born that way, I tend to agree) but the guy was an ass magnet of the highest order. He knew how to dress, was very cultured and well traveled, but most of he knew how to talk to women. In summary, he had more game than anyone I had ever met, to this day and I took a number of cues from him. We had a speech class together that was loaded with hotties. I think I ended up sleeping with one of them, he slept with the rest, sometimes more than one at a time. So do I think gay couples are something to be feared when raising children and will make them gay, nope. In some cases they can be better parents than most straight couples. But this is purely anecdotal, feel free to allow your religion or fear to dismiss differing opinions.
