All I say is something objective: I say, there are good parents, and bad parents, and it doesn't matter what their sexual orientation is...WHY should it?
How does your sexual orientation differ your character? You can be gay, and still be a right-wing conservative sob, that beats his children, because he thinks it's the right thing to do. Or you can be a soft-fluffy gay and overhug your children, so they become weak and soft and fluffy. Yeah, all of that is possible, but such studies are only correct if you check EVERY single one. Otherwise those stories are nothing more than an assumption.

What? With the right sample size chance stops becoming an issue. People will fall in line with the statistics regardless of what one person in the study might think that doesn't fall in line with expectations. If I flip a coin six times I might come up with six heads. Statistically speaking I should get three tails and three heads, but with such a small number of flips my experiment would still be affected by chance. But if I flipped that same coin a thousand times I would get about five hundred heads and five hundred tails give or take.
