I believe you need a mother and a father to properly a child. Two women or two men cannot replace that. Sure, they can be loving but you need the father figure and the mother figure. If you believe that there are no differences between the sexes, then yes, it doesn't matter if it's two people of the same sex. However, I do believe that there are significant differences between men and women and they both can give different things to children.

Another thing that worries me is domestic violence fiigures for gay couples, which are double those for heterosexuals.

If the number of kids available for adoption is huge and there aren't nearly enough heterosexual couples willing to adop them, then yes, it's probably better to have them adopted by gay couples. However, I don't know if that's the case. How many people are there for adoption in the USA?

I don't know if having gay parents harms your psychological development or identity but I'm sure it's quite confusing to have a parent 1 and a parent 2 rather than a mom and a dad. I believe in the complementarity of the sexes and it's fundamental importance in the raising of children.
Why specifically?

IMO, you're getting the tougher end of any argument, because most everyone gets to presume you're just wrong... "just because".
Only he really is wrong. And he has provided nothing to indicate that he isn't. If you're going to state that people choose to be gay and that gay parents are not good for a child at least point to some of the circumstances that make people gay or explain why they'd be bad at parenting.

I don't think anyone can argue that a person or X and Y can be bad at parenting, good parenting has to do with moral ethics, perspectives, commitments and loving of course. Most people can do that, but I still understand when someone says the ideal family (Most of the times) consists of father and mother both playing a part in their kid's life. That doesn't take anything away from lesbian, gay or individuals.

Btw, I have a question, why in the most modern and open mind societies it took so much time to legalize gay marriage? And still taking time? This generation thinks that the issue with legalizing gay marriage was due to religious figures, closed up societies and etc ... but plenty of countries that support human rights literally either took them too long to legalize this or are still studying the matter for a final decision.

theres clear evidence that kids who grow up in a single parent household perform poorly in school/and leter professionally and are more prone psychological issues
Single parents are something very different from a homosexual couple. Not to mention that single parents are overproportionally affected by poverty and all its effects, being very detrimental to all the issues you mentioned by itself.

That's probably true but I think it's probably a better idea to try to make traditionnal families strong again (they've taken a huge beating since the 60s) then go ahead with this social experiment.
Even if having parents from different sexes would perhaps be slightly better than homosexual parents (is there any research on this in the first place?), it's much much better than not being adopted at all. And I do believe that there are quite a lot if children up for adoption, more than there are suitable applicants.

you can interpret the evidence anyway you like fact is you have more chances of being successful in life with a father and a mother, as for homosexual couples any position for it is based solely on theory, theres no real evidence to support as it is too recent of a phenomenon. the real compelling argument for me is would you rather a child live in a home with 2 gay people or in an orphanage/foster home, then the choice is pretty simple.

Don't make me say correlation does not imply causation :(
