Is homosexuality a learned behavior?

Definitely. I learned it from a straight, white, married male with kids, church camp counselor. Go figure huh? The drag queens from San Francisco simply were not around to teach me these things at the time.

Even if it isn't, should children be subjected to the ridicule that could come with having two parents of the same sex?

[/ QUOTE ]

Children should never be subjected to ridicule for any reason. Childhood ridicule simply never happens to those with heterosexual parents.

Are there other long term development issues that could affect children negatively?

Duh! Parental alcoholism/drug addiction? Religious brainwashing? Lack of consideration of the child? Etc....

For whatever reason, some heterosexuals seem to think that the mere fact of their heterosexuality and the "natural equipment" qualifies them to be "better" parents. My contention is that engaged and loving parents, no matter the gender, will raise kids to become productive and decent members of their society.
