Disscution 4
The phenomenon I am very curious about is Freud's Development. The thing I'm most curious about is how the development of kids with same sex parents develop. The reason I'm curious is because Freud makes the argument that you need a Mother and a Father. I would study this by finding children of same sex parents of different ages. I would do an interview with each group to see how far along the development has come. I would also interview parents and teachers to see how their social behavior is. The groups I would interview would be young children all the way up to adulthood. This could also be done with an longitudinal study but if you just did an interview with multiple groups it would save time and money.

I like your question Rylee, but what is your hypothesis? I identify as a gay male so this question is more than just curiosity for me. Just as most people I want a romantic partner but haven't decided if I actually want children fearing I create some type of monster as they mature. I don't feel that having two moms or two dads would be much different than heterosexual parents. The same-sex couple would likely have complimentary feminine/masculine traits in substitution of the male/female role. I have two friends that live in Portland, Oregon that have been together for over 30 years and raised two boys together(One is the biological father.) The boys are in their 20's, and both heterosexual. They both went to college, one is married with a daughter, the other has a good paying college degree career as his focus. Regardless I had to find some answers for myself to your question and found a good article. As I expected the answer doesn't necessarily depend on the gender of parents, but the parenting style! Which makes me sleep easier knowing I could if I decide I want to have kids, but lets not get ahead of ourselves! First I have to find a trustworthy, compatible, self-aware guy that is comfortable in his own shoes to agree they'd want to have kids at the right time! So...... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
