Argument: Children adopted by gays are subjected to homophobia/prejudices

Support

American Academy of Pediatrics – “Prevalent heterosexism and stigmatization might lead to teasing and embarrassment for children about their parent’s sexual orientation or their family constellation and restrict their ability to form and maintain friendships. Children living with divorced lesbian mothers have better outcomes … when their fathers and other important adults accept their mother’s lesbian identity. [d]enying legal parent status through adoption to coparents or second parents prevents these children from enjoying the psychologic and legal security that comes from having 2 willing, capable, and loving parents.”
