The Price that Children have to pay

In a same sex marriage with children involved there is price that the children will end up paying. The children are lacking a parent from both genders and this can cause emotional damage. When being raised by a same sex couple a child is disconnected from gender cues from the people around them, they often feel resentment from being disconnected from one or two biological parents, or wish they had a role model of the opposite sex. On top of that they are being thrown into the middle of moral hazards which can be extremely stressful for children. If children were to be raised by parents from both genders then these particular sources of stress would be eliminated from their lives.
