Gays and lesbians never have kids. It's biologically impossible. So one of the kids parents is always missing, 100% of the time in gay or lesbian households.
Let me paint out how gay marriages, even the best of them, harm children/our future citizens/our society therefore...
Even in the best of most loving lesbian households who by the luck of the draw end up with a boy child, there will be a sense in that boy of a vacuum. It isn't how many times a day those lesbians tell him they love him, how many sports games they sign him up for or how much money they make to send him to the best college; it's the implied message in his formative years that does the damage. That implied message is: "Your gender in the adult world is not necessary. Your gender in the adult world is unwanted by women. Your gender is arbitrary, it doesn't matter.."
That never has to ever be uttered in a lesbian home to a boy in it. It simply is a fact assimilated by the forming mind in that house. That child (if my child developmental psyche 101 memories aren't too rusty) will internalize those messages to mean "YOU in the adult world are not necessary. YOU in the adult world are unwanted by women. YOU are arbitrary and don't matter." Adults have firmed up their minds, built their walls of defense around their psyches...but kids have not. They are wide open and this type of implied message is internalized by them no matter the abundance of spoken words or actions to the contrary. Kids get the big picture while adults are confident in their myopia. It's a function of how the brain processes the world relative to one's age..
Same goes with a girl in a gay man's home. But since neither man has a womb and they have to adopt, more likely this scenario won't exist as often there because gay men will most likely be wanting to bring home little boys from the adoption agency instead of little girls. But in case they do want girls, it applies here too.
Once again, the Prince's Trust study:
The Prince’s Trust youth index, the largest survey of its kind, found that young people without a positive figure of the same gender are 67 per cent more likely to be unemployed than their counterparts.

Young men with no male role models in their lives and women without a mother figure struggle to keep their lives on track, a hard-hitting report warns today. The Prince’s Trust youth index, the largest survey of its kind, found that....67 per cent more likely to be unemployed than their counterparts. They are also significantly more likely to stay unemployed for longer than their peers, the report suggests....It found that young men with no male role model are 50 per cent more likely to abuse drugs and young females in the corresponding position are significantly more likely to drink to excess..
Young men with no male role model to look up to were twice as likely to turn or consider turning to crime as a result of being unemployed...The report, which was based on interviews with 2,170 16 to 25-year-olds...These young men are also three times more likely to feel down or depressed all of the time and significantly more likely to admit that they cannot remember the last time they felt proud...They are also significantly less likely to feel happy and confident than those with male role models, according to the figures....The Prince’s Trust report, which was carried out by YouGov, suggests young people without male role models are more than twice as likely to lack a sense of belonging.
With no father to look to as he grew up, Arfan Naseer fell into a life of drugs and gangs...He even spent time in prison after becoming involved with the wrong crowd, impressed by their expensive cars and gangster lifestyle...He believes that if he had had a father or male role model to look up to, he would have seen the error of his ways at a much earlier age.
