In some states of the United States, gay marriage is legal, and new issues and discussions have followed. Will adopted or surrogate children in gay marriage families have a healthy growth environment, and is such a family really the same as heterosexual families?
In the United States, religious groups mostly oppose homosexuality and advocate traditional marriage. They believe that children can grow better together with their consanguineous parents. Gay parents are prone to "gender confusion", and will abuse their children more than heterosexual parents, and their children are more likely to become homosexual.
However, some studies pointed out that the vast majority of researchers agree that gay men and women can become qualified parents as heterosexuals, and that children raised by gay people can adapt to society as well as other children. Like heterosexual parents, gay men and women can provide supportive and healthy environment for their children, but gay families do need to face many thorny problems that heterosexual families will not encounter.
Problems faced by gay families
Gender disorder
When children grow up in the family of two mothers or two dads, it is easy to produce "gender confusion", less stereotyped about gender, and more vague about the concept of men and women. These children are not inclined to think that girls should aspire to become nurses, while boys should become doctors, and the probability of being gay increases when they grow up.
Sex education issues
Gay families are also prone to confusion when providing sex education to their children. It is necessary to explain the gender issues and also let children be exposed to homosexual content prematurely.
The problem of surrogacy
In addition to adoption, many gay men prefer to find surrogate mothers. Most surrogate mothers choose to use their own eggs. That is to say, children from gay families will not see their biological mothers from birth, which is also easy to cause emotional and psychological impact on children.
School problems
It is often reported in foreign countries that some children's parents are homosexual, and schools are more vulnerable to bullying and insults from their peers. How to let children adapt is also a problem that gay parents need to face.
