In a recent study on gay fathers, it has been discovered that gay men make great parents. They scale back their lifestyle, engage more with their co-workers and participate more fully in the society around them of parents.
This is beneficial for the the children, the parents and society at large. Coming on the heels of another study showing the benefits of a lesbian household for children, the benefits of gay parenting is being proven and hopefully soon states like Florida which have restrictions on adoptions by gay parents can be struck down in the courts, either of public opinion or in the judicial system.
