Obviously, we're a danger to the social institution of family, and to society at large.

Amazing, people who have to go the extra distance to actually become parents respect it more than people who usually become parents by accident. I am a farking explosion of surprise.

Should be a good thread.

All the people who use religion to justify their hate for gays and lesbians should be flipping out over this.

I think it has to do with choice. Homosexual couples make the choice to have a child, and so prepare themselves for that.

Hetero parents just get all willy nilly drunk and rip the condom, if they used one in the first place.

Can't wait for the "Father's Rights" guys to show up.

I think that's all that needs to be said.

But...but....but! GAYS! CHILDREN! THEY WILL RAPE THEM!!

Because there have NEVER EVER BEEN A HETEROSEXUAL COUPLE that molests kids. Once they molest a kid, they turn gay, meaning a gay molested the kid, not a hetero-full-blooded-American.

Clearly, we must protect the children from the gay.s

Farking Canuck: Should be a good thread.

More like a stupid study measuring "regression to the mean".

I'd like to see a study where they compare lesbian couples to hetero couples that adopt. While I don't doubt that lesbian (or gay) couples can raise a kid as well or better than the average hetero couple, kids do best when they have a male and female role model (who get along), assuming all other things are equal.

I DNRTFA, but the way the submitter presents it, hetero couples are inherently worse parents. Barring a very vigourous proof, I'm not going to accept that.

I call bullshiat.

I have a lot of friends on my uni's women's rugby team (hey, sometimes stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason), and I'm going to call anecdotal bullshiat. HOLY CRAP, lesbian relationship fights are a thing of terrifying power and destruction.

So there's the gay threat to marriage. Competition.

I don't think so, but then again, studies can be made to say whatever anyone wants them to say. Besides, if no hetero couples have babies, only homosexuals, how long before the species becomes extinct? Appreciate the irony.

Research funded by Rosie O'Donnell.

Lesbian couples definitely make better parents. Well, hotter anyway.

/Wishes people had to pass a test to have kids

You know what? I'm sick of this type of thought. I work at an afterschool day care center (for some extra money), and we have a mix of parents and kids. The program is meant for working parents who don't have time/money to hire babysitters, so they trust the school. We help the kids with homework, we play games, we teach sportsmanship and other things.

There are some "smart" parents that are terrible parents. They arrive just at closing time, pick up their kids, sign the signout sheet and walk out. They don't ask any questions, they are usually too busy talking on their cellphones. The kids try talking, the parents ignore them.

There are some "dumb" (education wise) parents that work crappy jobs but still pick up their kids, talk to us, talk to their kids, ask questions, they ask what they did, they ask if they still have homework to do (and sometimes they ask us for help on how to do their kids homework).

My parents fall into the second category. They immigrated to the US in the mid 70s from Iraq. They were newlyweds, but before they had any kids, they went to night school to improve their English. They were "dumb" from an education standpoint, but they were trying. When they got decent jobs, they decided to have kids. They could have gone to school to further their education, but they wanted kids. They worked their asses off for me and my siblings, so we can have an education and chances they never had. My brother is getting his Masters in Computer Animation. I have a B.A. in English. My sister has a B.S. in Engineering and might be going for her Masters.

My parents are "dumb" and have raised better kids than most "smart" parents.

And we wouldn't be here if people like you enacted "rules" for people to have kids. fark you and your elitist viewpoints.

/my cool story, bro

one wonders how exactly they define what makes a good parent

Also, I want to throw this out there.

Boys tend to do best when they have a father figure to set them straight or they tend to act out and be little bastards. I read a study that said that women who divorced and later remarried were twice as likely to do so if they had a son from the previous marriage rather than a father. Don't know how that plays out with the whole 2 dads/moms scenario, but just thought I'd mention that.

So it's like a hetero relationship fight, only one of them won't roll over and put up with it?

That's just it, all other things are not equal, unless you're comparing adoptive gay parents to adoptive straight parents. A lot of straight parents do not provide a very good male or female role model, assuming that both are even there.

I DNRTFA, but the way the submitter presents it, hetero couples are inherently worse parents. Barring a very vigourous proof, I'm not going to accept that.

Sorry doesn't put thumbs back on the hand, and uninflammatory headlines don't get the greenlight.

I also DRTFA but I wonder if the study included couples where the child was not adopted. It's possible, y'know. (Easier, too)

/my cool story, bro

I don't see anywhere where he said the test had to be an IQ/intellectual test. I'm sure he meant a test more along the lines of "Are you sure you want kids? Will you be able to meet the psychological and emotional demands that are required to develop a child into a functional, productive member of society?"

/doesn't necessarily agree with such a test
//playing devil's advocate

Makes sense to me. To be a homosexual parent takes planning, dedication, and effort. Those that would go through the process are less likely to screw up as parents.

On the heterosexual side...I give you Jamie Lynn Spears.

Are these movie-lesbians, or real lesbians?

How about some people are really good parents by nature and some are really bad parents by nature, and people will tend to be better parents if they wanted the kids in the first place? I mean, screw where gender comes into this.

The rest of us probably wouldn't consider this to be a bad thing. I support the idea of having to pass a test to become a parent. Question #1 is: Are you really sure that you want to be a parent?

It wouldn't make you discuss Chaucer, there wouldn't be any math, it would simply test your willingness to be a parent, and some basic knowlege of child care.
You need to pass a test to legally drive a car, don't you? This is the same sort of thing. It's a big responsibility, so make it is something you really want.

Googling "fighting lesbians" sounds like a great idea. I think I'll do that in the privacy of my home.
