Emerging Issues in the Social Scientific Study of Parenting

One of our major “debates” is Gay and Lesbian parenting.  While I don’t particularly agree with the lifestyle choice of gay/lesbian partnership I do think that there are plenty of children who need a good home and there shouldn’t be anyone stopping someone from having a loving upbringing based on sexual preference.  Unless of course that preference is affecting the child.  I have personal beliefs which would make me think that being “gay” is a choice of sinning every day by being with a gender that God did not create us to be with, BUT I also see that I sin every day and I am married to a person of the opposite gender so I don’t believe that we should be segregating or limiting the rights of the gay population.
