Current research documents that gay parents are not  different from non-gay parents. Gay parents have the capacity to love a child and provide guidance. It seems to me that denying gay parents the right to foster and adopt is based on personal beliefs, not research. In other words, we are curently denying children loving families becasue of personal beliefs. Let's be rational and look at the resesarch. If gay persons have a loving home, children should be placed there.
