For the same reason I am against legalising adoption of children for homosexual couples. It is not about such couples not being able to feed a kid and to dress it in cloathes, but about role models, and the forming of the kids psyche. And like we know that children growing up with just one parent are prone to form different social behavior patterns much later in their life that muist be assessed to make things slightly more difficult for them, especially there is a higher vulnerability to develope a depression later on, or handicapped behavior towards the other gender making the issue of relation-forming eventually more difficult, I expect nothing different for children growing up in homosexual family-surrogates that are not the psychological equivalent to an intact family. Hell, i alreaedy makes a difference wether you grow up as a single child, or have brothers or sisters. the longterm consequences mjst not be drmataic, but can be dramatic. as I said: it is not about later handicaps that are a certain consequence, but an increased vulnerability, a higher probability for such consequences.

I know boys that grow up with one parent if that parent is male then most likely will grow up to be a man with good quality's. Not always true but statistics show here that single dads make better parents when it comes to boys. Mothers tend to be far to protective or let them run wild as soon as hes a teenager.
