I intend to teach my child that everyone is different. That's not a value judgment, it is mere fact. My child's family will be different from other children's families. We are no better, we are no worse, we are just different. Teaching tolerance is key for parents.
Kids get their world view from their parents.
Most studies done on children raised in lesbian or gay homes show the children are often more tolerant of others than children raised in heterosexual homes. The children are taught to not judge others and remain open-minded in unfamiliar situations. Some of the more interesting findings in these studies is how involved both parents are in lesbian parenting arrangements versus heterosexual couples. These studies included women who had children by artificial insemination. Let me just state plainly, getting pregnant this way is more challenging than lowering the lights and opening a bottle of wine.
