Same-sex parenting:
With the increased visibility of lesbians, gays, and bisexuals in society, religious
leaders, child psychologists, and other professionals are questioning whether
children raised by a same-sex couple "fare as well in emotional,
cognitive, social, and sexual functioning as do children whose parents are
heterosexual." 1
As in many other topics, like abortion,
disciplining children by corporal punishment, gender
roles, homosexuality,
masturbation, etc., a massive chasm exists between most religious
and social
conservatives when compared to everyone else.
