I'mma take a look at these two:
Quote:
-Children of gay parents will be persecuted unfairly for their parents' choice or preferences.
-It is uncertain if homosexuality is 100% genetic, even if it is, being raised in a household that does not provide a natural role model will confuse and hamper children who are heterosexual.

Ok, children DO get persecuted by other children. That's life. Children are none to shy about making fun of every abnormality they see in a person. It's as if children have learn to discriminate between normal and abnormal, but haven't yet learned to discriminate between good, ok, and bad; anything abnormal = bad in a child's mind. Children will get persecuted by other children for being heavier than the average child, being uglier than the average child, acting differently, having some abnormal mark (A very attractive friend of mine got made fun of as a child, because in her head of long black hair, she has a patch of blonde hair on the back of her head. Kids called her a skunk for this), or hell, missing a limb, as I've told you all before. ;P
If you mean persecuted by anything other than another child...that's ignorance on their part. No grown adult should be holding some sort of prejudice towards a person because of their parents.
Now, what exactly do you mean by not having a role model? Do you mean a boy not having a father, or a girl not having a mother? Hell, I wouldn't want my father as a role model. In short, he thinks like a child, he's selfish, and he's an asshole, who corrects every little mistake made by anyone he shares the same roof with.
Honestly, there's a pretty damn fair amount of people like me, who never had a father there for them, cause fathers run sometimes. :V To my knowledge, there isn't some disorder or bad personality trait common among men who didn't grow up around their fathers. So if we already know a man can become a man with only a mother there to support him, why can't a man become a man with two mothers there to support him? Hell, honestly some homosexuals can be quite similar to the gender they're attracted to; no where near all are, but point is there are some. And just because a parent doesn't match their child's gender, DOESN'T mean the parent doesn't make the child aware of the stereotypes and roles tied to each gender.
Look, in all honesty, there are plenty of kids who grow up to be pretty screwed up, simply because their parents sucked. I don't see why the hell we should not treat bad parenting like an issue, but treat homo parents like an issue; you can't call out one without the other. Therefore, I don't see how homo parents could be any worse than some of the bad parents we have already. Plus the way I see it, growing up knowing you're not a normal situation makes you more open-minded, and open-minded people are much more likely to be able to acknowledge their faults in their actions and lifestyles and correct them.
