I am a Dutch kid of two amazing moms, they were together long before I was born, and they still are. I have never known any better than having TWO PARENTS. 👌 People ask if I wanna know who my dad is, I say; I DON'T HAVE A DAD. This confuses people. 🤔 In my opinion a dad is someone who raises you, is there for you. My donor has never been that for me, and so I don't have a dad. 😉 I consider myself super lucky, because I have TWO GREAT PARENTS who are STILL TOGETHER and are ALWAYS THERE FOR ME. And I am doing very well as a human, so I think they did a great job! I love them. ❤ Also, I am not that open with my feelings, but that is just a me thing, I think everyone has a different relationship with their parents, and everyone has their own character traits. It isn't easier for us I think. Just a human thing. 😇 I do absolutely agree with the spreading of the massage; love is love, parents are parents. And thus, trace, thank you for this video! 😁

Something else to consider is that same sex couples have to make a hard effort to even be able to have children, when heterosexual couples are one “whoops” away from having a child. Because of the effort and deliberate attempt at obtaining a child, same sex couples have already accepted and welcome the responsibility of caring for them, while that’s not always the case in heterosexual couples. A gay couple has a child because 100% of the time because they want one, a straight couple sometimes has a child just because they had sex without a condom. Thus, their parenting skills…probably won’t be all that.

Very interesting one, this is exactly how I started having kids with my wife. I started with saying no and then the real thinking about it began. In the end and when I did decide it, I did so fully conscious of what it would mean and what I would do (actually really going for it) once the choice was made. This is part of the reason I see so many parents these days divorce or simply putting the kids in daycare 24/7.

Had Same-sex foster carers when I was a teenager. They taught me to respect everyone despite being a different gender, religion, political beliefs, etc. They were the best foster carers I've ever had.

I was walking in from lunch and chatting with a lady I worked with, well, she worked in the unit next to mine. She was friendly and I was friendly. As we were going in the building this guy coming out kind of - well, attack is too strong, but - he asked why I wasn't pushing her. I looked at him, I looked at her, I looked at him. Jessica said: "If I needed to be pushed I would have asked." At the same time I said: "She'd of asked if she needed help." Then Jessica said: "I came out to get some exercise." Yes Jessica was in a wheelchair, but that lady didn't need any help. She was a pretty tough cookie!

I remember covering this in my university Child Development & Psychology course. It was a very quick half-of-one-class discussion: "Studies consistently show the main indicator of adolescent well-being, in terms of parenting, is the quality of the relationship between the parents. The sexes of the parents don't matter. All other things being equal, kids of same-sex parents tend to turn out a little bit more likely to be more tolerant, but also can have a little more chance of mental health issues *if other people bully them for it.* If they're not treated poorly, then there's no negative effects observed..... moving on!"

Well... no. Having 2 parents is better than 1 parent. Having 2 stable child focused parents is best, regardless of their sexual orientation... which obviously shouldn't affect children in any way whatsoever.

But when it’s about same sex parents who love their child/children, questions are asked. It’s all about what a society thinks is normal, without actually caring about how children really feel. Which was very apparent during the pandemic as well, schools needed to be open because a couple of months of no school was “terrible and creating a lost generation”. While when really diving into it it was more because parents then had to be home and not at their jobs…. :) I hate that dynamic, as if homeschooling is always and ever the worst and vice versa.

Remember: single parent families can have extended support networks that fill the gap left by the absent parent, such as the grandparents, aunts/uncles, parental friends, neighbours. Arguably, the emphasis on the nuclear family to the exclusion of extended support networks has had negative impacts on the raising of children, as it provides less opportunity for socialisation of children and puts more pressure on parents. It'd be an interesting area of study, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are interesting results, though I've no idea how closely any of it would coincide with my speculation!

If one can cook, clean, and cuddle, those are markers of a great parent. :) During the era in which my parents were first married, couples were looked down upon like they were lepers if they couldn't have children of their own. They adopted me, after 7 long years of being on a waiting list. They were so happy to bring a child up in their world. My father's mother not so happy. She retorted on the way home, while my mom was holding me, "Ya don't know what kinda blood is in 'em"... Mom retorted: "Well at least they don't have yourn blood".. And they did just fine. We had our normal child/parent disagreements but the bonds were still there. I searched for my biological parents and siblings, and my mom helped.

It's a moot point as you cant get any objective evidence, child a is not the same as child b and parents w,x,y,z are also different. Even the generalisations will change as LGBTQ+ parents become more 'normal' (as they should and will). We can have this conversation because this is relatively new but when its generlly accepted I believe the differences will even out, the very fact that its more difficult to have a child in a non-het relationship means that those parents are likely to be more invested and more aware of their impact on their children, once society catches up and the lgbtq+ family unit is accepted that will be less of a driver.

@@TraceDominguez agreed but i was thinking more generally, assuming the accepted family unit evolves to include all mixes of het/non-het/ethnicity/creed/other differentiator then the studies (implied by the title) becomes 'which combination provides the better/best outcome for a child' and we have never been able to answer that even for a 'traditional' family unit with a large sample size. Did Tommy do well at schoold because his family have more money than Tammy? what if Tammy is more successful in an creative field that doesn't reward financially, is she happier than Tommy who is constanly under pressure to conform to his families definition of success? Further if we ever did manage to answer the question and could show empirically that one particular mix is best for all children would every other parental set be automatically guilty of child abuse ot at least failing to give their child the best? Hopefully the differentiators will be immaterial and we can all just focus on trying to provide the best for our children within the constraints of our own situattion.

Again, massive unscientific framing/wording. Pls, don't say kids are better, happier etc, as that just isn't what is shown. Depending on variance and sample size studies show factors that make it *more or less likely* to have *above/below average* happiness/school grades etc. These differences can be tiny with large enough sample sizes.

Its funny people pick and choose the ‘you can’t hate for just existing card’ when people do it for all other aspects of life beyond race and certain types of sexuality Either way interesting video, I don’t particular care about the ‘being a parent side’ it’s more so the having part they I have an issue agnostic of the parents so I’m against it.

I think comparing straight and gay parents on who is "better" and generalising based on studies which are likely funded to support a certain point, is not a good idea as it only creates more toxicity. The basis that parents are somehow better at parenting based on their sexuality or gender, rather than their individual traits/personalities, is flawed.There's no need to justify your life choices. Just live your life and lead by example. btw super support being a present father! :)

Very nice, my comment got instantly removed. 23% of children with lesbian parents have been sexyally abuse. 33% of homosexuals have problems with alcoholism Go check scientific data on alcoholic parents effect of children from google scholar or other good sources And yes unsubbed this channel, bye.

I disagree

Um... No And of course you can't bring up this topic without also bringing up race issues. We don't like that in the black community. The alphabet struggle is not the same as being a black person in any way shape or form.

Because I respect you though. And you taught me a lot of things throughout my childhood. I'll look into this more. I'm not an idiot. Just cuz I disagree with you deeply. Doesn't mean I lost respect.

I totally hear you. I hope I didn’t offend! I didn’t specifically bring up race (except once, but only to call in a comparison during the section comparing families in global immigrant populations to same-sex families. Let me know what you think

Trace, I used to enjoy your Sci Show videos. But it saddens me to say you are sooo wrong about parenting. There is no such thing as two moms or two dads. I feel sorry for you sincerely.

How could there be no such thing? I have friends who are married each other and are both the moms of a child. That’s two moms. Period.

I lost all respect I had for you. Unsubbed, bye ...
