Gay Parents = Gay Children?
Dower, Tami. 2001. "Redefining Family: Should Lesbians Have Access To Assisted Reproduction." Melbourne University Law Review 25(2):470-473.
Children raised by lesbian parents or in a homosexual household show no difference in their mental or emotional development from that of children raised in heterosexual households. The idea that these children will eventually grow up to be gay and/or have “inappropriate gender identity” have not been sustained by any studies thus far. Other health and sociological studies attempt to address concerns that offspring would eventually grow up to the gay. This is false, and although there is evidence that children of same-sex parents tend to explore homosexual relationships more often, an overwhelming majority still identify as heterosexual in their adult lives.
