Can you post up some statistical evidence that states this is true?
I find it hard to believe that a gay couple would somehow ruin a childs perception of the nuclear family.
Other roles and mores are more important than having parents who are male/female, such as teaching a kid how to know what right from wrong is, teaching them how to control their emotions etc.
Believe me, im a sociology major, i know lots about the social responsibility of parents, nothing i have ever read has indicated that gay couples produce worse children than straight couples.
Even if there were a correlation the relationship would be minute, if you ran a regression on the causation of negative personality traits i bet you 90% could be explained by the socio economic status of a family, as well as history of past crimes and education level, not parental sexual preference.
