I have some friends that are in a gay marriages and raising kids. But none of their kids are old enough to be sexually active yet. The gay parents that I know with children old enough to decided, the parents were married (m/f) and didn't come out until the kids were older.

I think that gay parents understand the emotional impact of acceptance in a way that straight parents, however accepting, cannot, simply by virtue of sexual orientation.

There are straight parents, who have experienced rejection based on other factors: skin color, religion, origin, social status. There are still other straight parents, who recognize the need to love and accept, just as a child is. Do not paint all straight parents with the same brush.
