> There is no gender equality when it comes to what a child needs. A child needs the smile of a mother as much as they need the smile of a father. And one can not replace the other.

Isn't this essentially the argument against gay adoption and gay parenting in general? Because studies show their kids aren't adversely affected by this.

I am aware of the controversy and of the studies on the matter. Pro or contra.


You weren't talking about gay adoption, but your argument was against gay adoption, intended or not.
