What are the psychological consequences of kids being raised by same sex couples?

With two states already approving same sex marriage, what are going to be the consequences of same sex couples raising children? Will this off throw and degrade society, since social norms start from the family? What are the psychological consequences of kids being raised by same sex couples?What are the psychological consequences of kids being raised by same sex couples?The kid, (especially when he/she gets older) will be COMPLETLY embaraassed to state that they are the parents. It also encourages the kid that this is okay! (which it is TOTALLY NOT, God created man to like women not women to like women or men to like men)



Yes. In my opinion, the new president should TOTALLY put a stop to this.What are the psychological consequences of kids being raised by same sex couples?
none because as long as they are being cared for nothing else should matter.What are the psychological consequences of kids being raised by same sex couples?This sort of hypothetical question doesn't arise at all. How can they have a child and who will allow them to adopt one?
I would think the data is incomplete. While I think the concept of homosexual marriage is flawed; I recognize that many intelligent people see it the other way. The accurate answer to your question is several years down the road. If a "Ted Bundy" is the product of a same sex marriage that does not mean the psychological consequences are negative. If a "Mother Theresa" is the product of a same sex family, that does not mean the atmosphere is healthy and wholesome. People are great for picking and choosing their facts to reach the conclusion they want. I oppose same sex marriage because I see the costs of health care insurance being artificially raised by this unforeseen event of a large number of adults being dropped into the same insurance pool as a family that has been covered under the group policy for years.What are the psychological consequences of kids being raised by same sex couples?They could end up being very confused about life. They could even become gay/lesbian. Possibly when they are in school they could also be teased about it.



Personally I see no problem in same sex couples nor do I have anything against them. But all I hope for is that they dont have kids because their lives will not be easy.What are the psychological consequences of kids being raised by same sex couples?
There are bad consequences that is true, but look at it this way: in a family with two dads or two moms he will be better than in an orphanage
None..People who think this are either brainwashed or just aren't very good a thinking. Is it harmful to send your child to school if all they only have 1 out of every teacher is a man? What if someone grows up with all brothers or sisters? These things don't matter. I had a male teacher in 3rd grade who everyone was afraid of %26amp; he ended up being very nice to me. I was so good so he went out of his way. But I was terrified of him %26amp; I don't think he being male was that good. My favorite teachers was also male. I think these thoughts are just like being racist, etc. They are from not judging people as individuals. This is a lesson we have in life that goes as deep as us judging the Bible to be the word of God instead of knowing that God speaks through everything. God is essence not physical matter so Spirit doesn't need to be a certain outer shell or a certain body. These things are not the true %26amp; we shouldn't judge by appearences.What are the psychological consequences of kids being raised by same sex couples?
The kids will learn how diverse humanity is- that our societies are comprised of many, many different types of people with different ethnic backgrounds, different religions, different sexual orientations, and different types of families and relationships- rather than having no idea that same-sex couples exist.



Being aware of this early on is a benefit to the kids and to the rest of us, since violence against other members of society (whether racial, religious or otherwise) stems from simple fear and ignorance- and in America we don't discriminate against people due to their sexual orientation, either.



The overwhelming majority of gay adults were raised by heterosexual parents, just like the rest of us. So clearly having parents with a different sexual orientation isn't an issue. Just because dad enjoys 1950's big band music and loves the taste of horseradish doesn't mean I do- my tastes and preferences are my own.
I dont think it will degrade society. Social norms are set by "society" and once ppl wake up and stop being so judgemental maybe children who are raised by same sex couples will stand a chance at a normal upbringing.

What are the consequences to children being raised by heterosexual couples who drink, cheat, beat, abuse or neglect their children?

I think if a same sex couple decides to raise a child together, they have already faced the unimaginable from society to begin with. If they can do that, to me it speaks volume as to their determination and motives. Everyone deserves to be happy and if society has a problem with it, well, Tough!
We already know the consequences, as there are adults who have been raised in same-sex couple homes.



And those devestating consequences are ... wait for it ... NONE!



The consequences of being raised by these or by this parent depend on the parent, and how good a parent they are.



The idea that forbidding some people to form families is NOT a "pro-family" stance, but an anti-family stance.



Yes, norms start from the family unit. when there's a strong bond of love between the parents, and between those parents and their children, you tend to get strong, healthy people resulting fromt he child-rearing process.



How does committed love degrade society?



In the footage of recent marriages (I live in California, near SF, so local news has really spent significant time on this), there was a clip of a couple that had been together many years, and had 3 kids. One of the newly-wed parents said "Every kids prefers their parents be married to each other. Now OUR kids have that."



And this is a BAD thing WHY?



If your marriage is destroyed by the fact that other people can get married, your marriage was worthless to begin with.
