ARGUMENTS OF SAME-SEX PARENTING VERSUS DIFFERENT-SEX PARENTING

There are some articles stating that same-sex parenting is harmful to children. Any issues or problems that
surround same-sex parenting originates with the societal norms constructed by society. If there are any
disadvantages to children of same-sex parents, it has nothing to do with the parents’ gender and absolutely
everything to do with how society reacts towards the families. If society changed its views on same-sex families, the
misconception of “same-sex parents will produce gay children” would dissipate quickly. Another concern from those
within society who do not understand are that those children raised in same-sex households will fail to properly
learn and adopt gender-appropriate behaviors. The real fear is that future generations will shatter the gender roles
so deeply imbedded within our society.
