What about kids with one parent? Or alcoholic parents? Or the thousands of other abnormal family situations out there? Should we take the kids from them, yeah?
Parents should be judged on how good they are at parenting. Not at what's in they're pants.

That's all very true but "ideally" I think having both a male & a female parent is better. I accept that there are plenty of bad hetrosexual parents and plenty of very good same sex parents but If I had a choice of putting a child into a good hetro couple family or a good same sex couple family, I would choose the former as I believe children benefit more from having both male & female inputs and role models.
