During a parents life there are many steps they have to take to prepare their children for the big wide world that surrounds them. An added factors that some parents have to work with is preparing their children for their (the parent's) own sexual orientation, whether they are heterosexual or homosexual.
For parent's that are homosexual, their are stigmas attached to their children and the lives that they will eventually lead. Some of the stigmas include:
1."Children will be molested by homosexual parents."
2."Children will be teased and harassed."
3."Children raised in homosexual households will become gay."
4."Children will develop problems growing up in an "unnatural" lifestyle."
A study for each of the above stigmas was conducted and the results for each indicated that children that were born into homosexual families were at no higher risk for any of the above over children born into heterosexual families.
