It has a lot to do with the question, it shows how absurd it is to ask the question...
And, yes, it's as good as a straight couple, or a black couple or blond haired couple. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with good or bad parenting.

I did answer : YES it is good, from age 0 to their death... As good as any good straight parents.
This idea that children are "psychologically affected" is debunked idiotic nonsense that has no ground to stand on...
"they probably would grow up gay".... Demonstrating the abysmal depth of your ignorance on the matter....

So you believe that societal discrimination is a valid reason to try to reduce the likelihood of people becoming gays? This is a very spineless position.
Plus, discrimination in the Western society nowadays in this regard is very minimal. I have met a lot of gays and lesbians, and even some trans people, throughout my life here in the US, and all of them had full lives. Nobody complained about systematic discrimination.
I have yet to understand what you mean by "gay lifestyle", and how it is allegedly inferior to "straight lifestyle" or whatever you call it. As far as I know, gays eat the same food as me, speak the same language as me, work the same jobs as me, go to the same national parks on weekends as me - and the only difference between us is what happens when we lay down naked with another human adult.

What specifically do you refer to by the term "idealism of being gay"? Is it functionally different from, say, "idealism of being straight"?

In regards to this post i believe they should be able to because
1. Its better than having 1 or no parents and
2. I dont think we necessarily think we should condemn certain groups of people and using identity politics rather than viewing individuals. There are ways we could prevent crimes by locking up certain people exhibiting certain parameters but we cant take there rights away just because the risk may be higher.

Statistically, that may be true - however, statistics is not something applying to individual cases, and we are talking about the child in this thread, a specific kid who is looking for parents who would adopt him/her. I do not see statistics as relevant in this case.
If we are to judge the expected quality of the adopting parents by pure statistics, we will have to conclude that, for example:
- White parents are better than Black parents, and Asian parents are better than White parents.
- Parents with Masters or PhD degrees are better than parents without them.
- Rich parents are better than poor parents.
- Engineer parents are better than high school teacher parents.
I do not think it right to form a lot of expectations based on one or a few superficial data points. We would need to know who the parents are as individuals to give a more or less accurate assessment. The OP here asked a few times the following question: "All other things equal, is it better to have parents of one gender, or parents of different genders?" The answer, in my view, is no, because "all other things equal" already takes care of all the relevant statistics, and we are now talking about parents of exactly the same quality. And while there may be some psychological effects I am not aware of making parents of different genders preferable, I seriously doubt those effects are not negligible.  Considerate: 100%
