A child is not going to comprehend at the such a young age why they have 'two dad's or 'two mum's' and naturally they are going observe and learn ss all kids do as to why other friends have a mum and dad.
Kids are surprisingly smart at a young age and they absorb so much which is a proven fact in studies of behavior and thought patterns. The kids are the main priorety and you dont want confusion and questions to fill their life especially in regard to having gay couples as parents.
And lets not forget the social and mental impact that a gay couple could have on a child waiting to be told the circumstances when they get older and could possibly cause more trauma than needed.
Im not questioning the parenting abilities of gay couples I am going on the most common factor which has been established from day one, a mum and a dad. Psychologically it is reccomended as well wich despite the gay couples parenting skills, in them being gay initially they cannot compensate for

Can Lesbians, Gay Men, and Bisexuals Be Good Parents?
Yes. Studies comparing groups of children raised by homosexual and by heterosexual parents find no developmental differences between the two groups of children in four critical areas: their intelligence, psychological adjustment, social adjustment, and popularity with friends. It is also important to realize that a parent's sexual orientation does not indicate their children's.
Another myth about homosexuality is the mistaken belief that gay men have more of a tendency than heterosexual men to sexually molest children. There is no evidence to suggest that homosexuals molest children.www.apahelpcenter.org...
