I know you don't necessarily believe what you raised but you said they are serious concerns. I think your concerns are unfounded.

There are many nutheads out there(no pun intended). Plenty of heterosexual freaks. Imo the best you can hope for is that the child will be brought up in a loving, caring and financially sound environment.

>> "The possibility that homosexuals will attempt to enforce damaging ideologies onto children."

Come on..any ideology can be argued to be "damaging". Homophobia for example.

For myself, I consider religious indoctrination harmful except where it cultivates compassion and positive beliefs. Most children have trouble distinguishing fiction from non-fiction.

>> "try to make them homosexual because they think it's best for them."

But is there any evidence that suggests you can actually make someone gay? More open-minded perhaps, but that in itself is a good thing imb. Could someone make you love someone of the same sex. It would be impossible even with a gun to your head.

>> "The possibility that homosexual men may be more inclined to pedophilia than heterosexual men"

Is that a hunch? I think you'll find more evidence of pedophiles in the catholic church system than anywhere else.

Until there is evidence of anything erronious there is no reason to believe otherwise. Innocent until proven guilty. And you can bet there will be many religious groups/ religious scientists(is that an oxymoron?) scrutinising the performance of gay parents under a microscope.
