Any children of g*y parents here?

Question

I am a g*y graduate psych student, doing some research on children of g*y parents. If there are any children of g*y parents here, please consider answering the following question. Thanks.

Has the political debate over g*y parenting, g*y adoption, and g*y marriage affected you? For instance, has it made you angry, affected

your self-esteem, made you anxious, or caused others to treat you with less respect? If so, please explain.

Answer 1

Hmm you sound just like this guy I worked with at Applebees.

My parents aren't g*y, but I do have 2 friends that their father is g*y.

So I can at least give you a piece of your question answered.

I have always treated them like I have, with respect, compassion, understanding, honesty, loyalty.   They are my friends regardless of what they are or their parents are.   I have never teased or belittled them because of their dad.

Answer 2

The American Psychological Association has stated that:

there is no scientific evidence that parenting effectiveness is related to parental sexual orientation: L*****n and g*y parents are as likely as heterosexual parents to provide supportive and healthy environments for their children…research has shown that the adjustment, development, and psychological well-being of children is unrelated to parental sexual orientation and that the children of L*****n and g*y parents are as likely as those of heterosexual parents to flourish..."
