I'm on the fence on that one. As a former libdem-progressive I have/had no real issue with gay couples raising children as long as they provide those children with a stable loving family and 'rolemodels' of both genders.

But as I've become more 'right-wing' and sceptical of the direction our society is heading in, I've started to doubt whether this would be wise. Providing a 'day-to-day' role model of the opposite gender might prove more difficult (I read an article about very young children wanting become transgender, turns out all the children were boys, raised by lesbian couples in a very female school environment, not really surprising the boys end up hating themselves).

Also as our society is plummeting ever closer to a 'clash-of-civilization' type scenario I would fear for the safety of any gay family. They will be the prime target for muslims, but will find no protection from the 'alt-right' as there is a lot of homophobia there as well. It is a risk I can take for myself and can assume another adult gay man will take but to inflict it on a child seems inhumane.

I've given myself another 10 years for any procreation, if it doesn't happen before then, I won't do it. But the safety and well-being of the child must come first and I will not have a family as a political statement or in times of turmoil when gay people will be prosecuted by all.

Sorry for the long answer ;)
