After all, gay children are not as easily accepted by society as children born to normal heterosexual couples. When they are young, they may feel less affected, but what about when they grow up? Whether it is strong or weak is immediately clear.
Objection: Gay parents are more likely to sexually abuse their children
Children from gay families are significantly less likely to be sexually assaulted than children from heterosexual families. One of the reasons why some people oppose homosexual adoption of children is that children grow up in gay families and are vulnerable to sexual abuse by gay parents. Although the current research results cannot support this view.
The American Psychological Association defines sexual orientation as "one of four sexual abilities that generate sustained sexual and emotional attraction to individuals of a specific gender.". The other three sexual abilities are biological gender, gender identity (the psychological distinction between men and women), and gender roles (observing the social norms of their respective genders). Although homosexuality is an attraction between adults. However, investigations by relevant authorities have shown that children are hundreds of times more likely to be sexually assaulted by heterosexual parents than by gay parents.
Refutation: ridicule suffered by children can cause "serious psychological harm"
Children raised in gay families are the same in all aspects as children raised in heterosexual families, and sometimes even perform better. Another reason why some people oppose homosexual adoption of children is that children from gay families may be ridiculed or harassed, especially when they come into contact with adults, and this may cause permanent psychological harm.
In the United States, between one million and six million children are raised by openly recognized homosexuals. These children are either born, adopted, or conceived through artificial insemination. A professional has made a comprehensive evaluation. Among indicators such as injury, self-esteem, and sexual orientation, the problems of single-parent heterosexual families are more serious than those of two-parent gay families. In some ways, children raised from gay families may perform better, such as self-discipline, self-esteem, and less psychological problems. Gay children do experience some ridicule for parental reasons, but their self-esteem levels are not lower than those of children raised in heterosexual families.
