So I am a proud owner of a white cap now? As I said in an earlier topic some months ago, I am not discirminating homsexuals, nor do I have any problem to deal with, and in fact I reffred to people whith whom I had good friendships and working together. But they - like me - totally objected shameful displays like Christopher Streetdays, and they (all being psychologist students like me) said they saw no reason in adapting children to raise them in a gay partnership, when it obviously was not meant by mother Nature to work this way. Parents are taken as examples by their children, and a mother is a female role scheme., like a ftaher is a male role scheme - children learn different things from both, and so it is a safe assumption that they also need both. We know that there is a significantly raised risk of later behavioral symptoms in children who were raised by one person only, missing mum or dad, and that it affects their way of approaching the other sex later on. We also know that it leads to different psychological attitudes if you are raised as asingle kid, or have sisters or brothers. the social community context forms us, and especially children. I know that there are psychological projects trying to prove that it makes no difference if the paretns are two of the same sex, or a mixed couple. But as a former insider of psychology, I am aware of how easy it is to inflouence a study project for the desired outcome, and I am also aware of the strong tendency in psychology to line up with what politicially is wanted, that way winning an ally that it needs to bolster it'S own fundament in society, and winning power and influence on the basis of PC. that is no exaggeration, but has something to do with the whole of psychology's history, the way it started, and it's initial - and still lasting - inferiority complex it suffered by coinstantly comparing itself to the established harcore sciences, namely physics.
As a general rule I think that children being raised by a homosexual couple, devellpe differently than children of a heterosexual couple. Where a man having children with a women and later finds out he is gay, eventually should be allowed to take his kids with him if the woiman does not take them (like sometimes one of the parents dies and the kids stay with the surviving nevertheless), I rule out the option of adopting foreign children by homo couples, under normal circumstances. Like usually for adopting foreign chikldren couples (hetero) are preferred to single people living alone. Hetero parents are the natural condition for children to be rasied, and that is the way nature wnated it to be - last but not least for psychological reasons.
