Can anyone point me to studies that discuss the implications of considering gender irrelevant in the rearing of children in family life (ie. same sex couples).

People often mention to me that “unbiased studies have proved gender is irrelevant to the rearing of children”.

People in question are not Christian. If you could point me to the least biased sources you know of, it would be very helpful.
 
I can’t send you to any study, but, if I remember correctly, this subject came up several years ago. It was agreed on that Children need parents of both genders. For starters, it taught them how a family is suppose to function. It teaches them how to treat the opposite gender. Stuff like that. 🤷
 
i saw the rewards for such pain at yahoo i could hardly bare the savageness of mankind why do we need more
 
If you’re looking for information from a medical study point of view, visit the website of the American College of Pediatricians. To my knowledge this is not a Christian organization. According to info given at it’s website, it’s founders originally were members of the American Academy of Pediatrics but left it when it became politically correct, at the expense of good science.It’s a bona fide medical society, though at this point in time, not nearly as well known as it should be. Visit their website - I think you’ll find it worth your time.

You might also check out studies on the increase of sexual, physical, and mental abuse of children in households with non-related adults. Most of the studies conducted look at “mom’s new boyfriend”/“dad’s new girlfriend”, but the science is the same- when children live with an adult they are not related to, the chances for abuse skyrocket. Since in a situation where a child is being raised by adults of the same gender, at least one of those adults is going to be a non-biological acquaintance.

Relating “mom’s new boyfriend” to a non-biological parent doesn’t really make sense.

Ps: Adoptive parents are “non-related adults.”
 
“Do children need parents of both genders?”

I think so. That’s even reflected in the animal kingdom, not that that is our ultimate standard or basis of comparison. As a teacher, I shudder to think what traumas gay parenthood would create in the lives of adolescents. They’re already so very difficult today, given our divorce culture.

If mom’s new boyfriend lives in the same household as the child, as, I assume, the non-biological “parent” in a same-gender relationship, how does it NOT make sense?

Yup, they sure are.

What Maize said 👍

You need both parents [male and emale] to create the new person [whether it is male or female] … if this is what is neccessary ‘biologically’ then that must be the natural and best state from which to raise a child … all things being equal …

That said, I know there ar those who will make arguments. Arguemnts can be made regarding individual cases … as in what about the child in these to cases Which is best - a home with two [2] loving women [mothers] versus a home with one loving father and a physically and mentally abusive mother …

but this ignores the reality of what nature has put in place for procreation …

Sin [evil - bad - error - wrongs, etc] can alter any situation … then you are choosing between the lesser “bad” and not the greater “good” … hoepfully that thought is clear …

Clearly, in order to exist [be] a child needs both parents [man and woman - mother and father] … is that then the most basic right from which to begin … all else denies the child’s real need and substitutes something ‘less’ than ideal …

Since when? Single motherhood is EXTREMELY common in the wild. Monogamy is the exception, not the rule.
 
i dont know if the “animal kingdom” is a good reference since we arent wild animals (some elements of society would make you think otherwise)

The way you phrased it, “mom’s new boyfriend” is someone who moved into the house after the child had had a life either just with “mom” or with “mom and biological father.” In the same-sex parenting situation I thought of when I read the question, two people who live together adopt or “have” (by one woman in a lesbian relationship giving birth to) a child. This is a child being raised by two people, not one person coming into a child’s life later. Regardless of what you think this may or may not “do” to a child’s well-being, it is not the same as “mom’s new boyfriend.”

I never once made any claims about a previous life with both biological parents. You have read into it what you want, as evidenced by the following statement in bold:
"** In the same-sex parenting situation I thought of** when I read the question, two people who live together adopt or “have” (by one woman in a lesbian relationship giving birth to) a child.

The way I phrased it is exactly what I meant, despite what you choose to read into it- children who live in households with non-biological adults are at greater risk of abuse. It doesn’t matter if the adult in question is “new”, “old”, or “who the heck even keeps count anymore”.

The situation you’re choosing to picture in the case of same-gender “parenting” is exactly what the MSM would have you believe- a stable, long-lasting relationship that provides a stable environment for a child. However, the statistics show otherwise.

Gay couples are less likely to stay together than straight ones. They are more likely to suffer abuse at the hands of their partner, and they are more likely to have a series of sexual partners than heterosexuals.

(the second link goes to a study that shows 29% of the people surveyed- people raised by homosexuals reported having sexual relations with a parent during childhood. It also lists a “disproportionate” amount of respondents also reported sexual relations with “other caretakers”)

The MSM does not like to call attention to uncomfortable truths about same-sex parenting. So when a study IS published about the effects of non-related adults on children, it is going to focus on heterosexual adult relationships, but one can apply the results to homosexual ones as well.

I wouldn’t trust anything that comes from Paul Cameron, he is discredited with just about every organization that he was ever a part of, even the ex-gay movement has shut him away, because of his unethical statements, practices and fudging of statistics.

Warren Throckmorton, christian (I think he’s Catholic, but I’m not totally sure) psychologist and professor found his distortions so bad he formed a clearing house on it his blog:

I don’t think it’s possible to look for a study to answer this question, because it is a question of the rights of the child.

We wouldn’t conduct a study to see if I need freedom of speech, …

So doesn’t a child simply have the right to know and be raised by his biological parents when possible?

In other words, isn’t it unjust to deliberately cause a situation where a child will be separated from his biological parent?
