I don't completely agree with a same sex couple raising a child, in my opinion, there's some significance to growing up in the presence of both sexes. One big difference, obviously, to being in a straight sexual relationship rather than a homosexual one is having the ability to reproduce. Humans are a species that are based on culture, unlike other animals (who also show homosexual behaviour) humans regulate sexual activity with cultural rules, rules like how to behave in the midst of a sexual partner. If a growing child is not exposed to man/woman interactions throughout his/her childhood, then that child is restricted to only seeing how a same sex couple can function. This makes it hard for such a child to develop the necessary social tools they need to co-operate in a sexually diverse relationship, and ultimately hinders their ability to have kids. This doesn't stand out as a major issue to me, seeing that a large majority of the human population is straight (I'm too lazy to look up statistics), but I think it's worth mentioning. As you can see, I'm not solely basing my opinion off of a prejudice against homosexual individuals, but instead the fact that this type of a relationship has the potential to harm the human population as a whole. Our species hasn't progressed this far by avoiding sexual reproduction, and since there are customs associated with the physical act of reproducing, I don't understand why people simply think that the effects that these types of relationships have on the world will be negligible. We can't all of a sudden just change our way of living after centuries of successful reproduction and expect the same result. I see the logic and reason behind this argument, and a 3:00 minute youtube video definitely won't all of a sudden change my world views.
