Good points & thank you for sharing your personal experience.
No doubt, mothers and fathers are both important - to help in learning through imitation and about how to relate to the opposite sex.

HeatherAnn,
Please provide the peer reviewed objective studies that show this link.
Or I may have to conclude you are being willfully dishonest.

What studies?

You mean we have to show sources and back up things we say here? You mean we can't just make statements willy nilly and expect people to just take them at face value as the absolute truth just because we say so? So I can't just respond to her statement with an equal statement of:
Studies show a link between heterosexuality and sexual abuse.
I figure if she can make a bold statement with nothing to back it up, then we should be able to respond in kind to it and see how she responds, right?

Old studies. Studies that no longer reflect current society, or biased studies.
Any psychological association whose word is worth anything says they have found no reason why homosexuals cannot be at least as good of a parents as heterosexuals.

You forgot to provide your list of studies.
All four of the links you provided are nothing more than opinion pieces claiming that there are studies....

So are you an advocate of having children being removed from single parent households? Being that they are not being raised by a mother AND a father?

Indeed, how dare my mother raise her children after leaving her abusing ******* of a husband. Shame on her! Take the abuse, cheating, and ******** for the sake of the children. Nothing is better for a family than complete disfunction.
What on earth is 'gender behavior'? Men go out and earn a living while women stay home baking cookies? Women wear skirts and men wear pants? Men are supposed to be staunchly macho and domineering while women are expected to be delacate and overly emotional? Addition: Men are the Mr. and women are the Mrs.?
Yes, I know these are ridiculous stereotypical notions, but for the life of me I can't figure out what this 'gender behavior' is, or how and why you feel it needs to be 'taught' by anyone in particular. Would you put forth a few examples?

They both set very good examples, didn't they.

Well, I suspect it has something to do with exactly what you can get away with when interacting with someone with different genital parts. For instance, if you grab someone's a** who has "outie" genitalia, you might get decked. It you grab someone's a** who has "innie" genitalia, it's ok--she deserved it. :areyoucra
A link? Shucks, HeatherAnn, are you sure you're not stretching the truth a bit here? Kinda seeing who you can make a fool of? Is that really a nice way to play?
I don't think I've ever had a gay man grab my a**.
I see now I came into this very late. To Mr. Skittles I will just say that many moms and sons, and dads and daughters are very close and comfortable talking with one another about biological, sexual and relational issues and topics. What any parent of any gender doesn't know from personal experience, they can always research with their child. it's not a big deal. Parents who are comfortable and open with their children, willing to admit what they don't know, and go the extra mile to find out-- are the very BEST parents. Parents who are comfortable with their children and with life in general are the ones who best teach their children to be comfortable with themselves- and with life in general. Parents who communicate well with their children are the ones who teach their children to communicate well. These qualities have nothing at all to do with gender. They have to do with personality and attitude.
If you yourself have an excellent communicative relationship with your child, you have succeeded in teaching your child how to have/engage in an excellent communicative relationship. It is necessarily so.

Go look up the crime stats. You will see that the majority of victims of sexual abuse are women. What percentage of that do you think is perpetrated by homosexual males?

Neither have I.
On a more serious note I do trend to attract gay men for some reason. Which would be awesome if I wasn't straight...well at least I have options.

Years ago, I worked as a waiter in a gay bar. I've had gay men grab by a**. The odd thing is, they were always gentle and/or polite in how they did it. Go figure.

Well I would say it's because they don't want same sex relationships in the first place so denying them most rights seems like the good thing to do.
As for what I think about same sex adoption, I partly disagree with the idea.
We are animals, we are mammals...even though their have been evidence for mammals having same sex sexual relationships, ''adoption'' is a totally ''human only'' phenomenon.
I think a child is meant to be raised with both male and female presence, I believe it leads to a better balance in the psyche of the child. This cannot be demonstrated with certainty, I'm sure same sex parents can raise very intelligent and gender aware children, but I also think same sex parents can lead to misunderstandings at a very young age with negative long term effects, SOMETIMES.
I have absolutely no problem with same sex relationships, and I'm honestly not totally one sided on this, but I think it might be better for same sex partners to assume the sacrafices they have to make, such as not being able to procreate.
The evidence indicates otherwise, check out this very short video for an explanation
