Sure it is. I think a loving home with gay parents could certainly be a better environment for children than a single parent home, or a "traditional" home with abusive, or neglectful parents. It depends on the parents in any of these situations. The sexual preferences of the parents are not an indicator of their parenting skills.
Maybe. I do think there is value in a male/female raising a child. I see and feel the damage in my own family and my husband is good to great for about half the week. I might be seeing and feeling the time thing but there is a very different way in the way I play, teach, and nurture than he does. I think that is more of a gender issue than a time spent issue. I see it in my own relationship with my parents.
I agree with you, Spaulding, but since every kid isn't going to be raised in a loving home with one parent of each sex, a gay couple beats many alternatives.
