re: Study: Same-Sex Parenting Harms Children

One thing I've seen a few times already in this thread is the claim that while it's accepted that having two parents, one male and one female, and both biologically related to their children, results in the best possible environment for children to grow up in, but that such an environment isn't reality for many kids today, as if we should accept the less ideal situations for the sake of pragmatism. I think that if there is a situation where better outcomes are more likely, we should be promoting that ideal state and promoting behaviors that will incentivize that state and reward those who are in that state.

If it's accepted that children raised in less ideal situations are more likely to be "messed up" in some way, why aren't we actively working to fight against those situations? I think it's because no one wants to sound homophobic by recognizing that having two mommies and two daddies is not as ideal as having one mommy and one daddy. Like the article said, what's better for the children is being ignored for the sake of the parents.
