CHILDREN GROWING UP WITH GAY PARENTS

I don't have any close relationships with gay couples who have children. The one couple I did know (I did the video for their wedding) is now divorced. So their adopted daughter is the product of a broken home just like many children these days.

I haven't heard any compelling evidence to suggest that there is anything qualitatively different in the experiences children have growing up in gay households compared to traditional husband/wife households.

All of us have unique family groups. We create them, we fall into them, we leave them, we destroy and rebuild them.

Many gay couples openly and lovingly adopt children, or conceive through IVF or surrogacy. In a land where their marriage is not legally recognized, it is amazing and noteworthy that parenthood is still a possibility.

Cheers to queers who dare to journey into parenthood. Blessings to you children who have parents who know what it means to love in the face of adversity.
