I'd be willing to bet that any gay couple who wants to have children is going to TRY to do a damn good job of raising them... Why? Because having children is completely optional to them so there's probably already a strong interest in raising that child well (just like heterosexual couples who adopt children when they can't get pregnant...)

This is quite hard on the kids though.
I coach a child who has been adopted by a gay couple. The child is straight (or at least seems so for a 13 year old), but he is really ostracized because of his "parents". I actually first started coaching him because other coaches wouldn't because of his "parents".
He has a younger brother who is 11 and gay. At 11 he acts just like his adopted "mother". They home school him to keep him away from the problems.
These kids are healthy, and loved. While I don't agree with their lifestyle -- I do pray for them, and talk with them. They are doing better than many of the other children in one parent households that I coach.
