Those who oppose gay rights spend a lot of time worrying about how being raised by same-sex parents will damage kids. A new study found that children of homosexual parents are more likely to face hardships, but mainly because the law still discriminates against their families, not because same-sex couples are inherently incapable of raising a child. Shocking, right? The report by several gay rights groups, including the Movement Advancement Project, Family Equality Council and Center for American Progress, found that children of gay parents are just as healthy and well-adjusted as those raised by heterosexual parents. However, families with homosexual parents are more likely to live in poverty, and they face other unique situations that can add stress to their lives. Since the federal government doesn't recognize gay unions, same-sex parents pay more in taxes, have higher health insurance costs, and aren't allowed to participate in many government programs for families.

This includes: children raised by same-sex couples same-sex parenting , children raised by single LGBT parents, and children raised by an opposite-sex couple where at least one partner is LGBT. However, scientific research consistently shows that gay and lesbian parents are as fit and capable as heterosexual parents, and their children are as psychologically healthy and well-adjusted as those reared by heterosexual parents. LGBT people can become parents through various means including current or former relationships, coparenting , adoption , foster care , donor insemination , reciprocal IVF , and surrogacy. Some children do not know they have an LGBT parent; coming out issues vary and some parents may never reveal to their children that they identify as LGBT.
From the Iowa House of Representatives - where teen Zach Wahls became a viral video sensation by telling his story of being raised by two loving mothers - to Hollywood, where stars like Neil Patrick Harris, Elton John , Rosie O'Donnell and Ricky Martin are raising children with same-sex partners, parenting by same-sex couples seems to be receiving more attention than ever before. Gay parents are represented in TV and film as well: Each week, the hit sitcom "Modern Family" includes story lines about Cam and Mitchell, a gay couple raising an adopted daughter while the movie "The Kids Are All Right," about a family with two lesbian parents, was nominated for an Oscar last year. Overall, some , same-sex households recently reported raising children , according to the U. Census bureau - but growing numbers don't necessarily translate to acceptance.
