"The limited research that exists shows that kids with gay and lesbian parents are doing fine. They’re just as well adjusted as kids with straight parents, just as likely to identify themselves as straight when they grow up, and just as likely to have positive relationships with other children. There isn’t much of a measurable difference. Since gay men and lesbians don’t have children by accident—it’s hard to get drunk one night and do an adoption, or slip and fall into the stirrups at an artificial insemination clinic—all our kids are wanted kids, planned for and anticipated. All parenting experts agree that a wanted child is usually a loved child, and a loved child is a well-looked-after child."
