Also, the stats I'm seeing from Canada are showing that under 3
percent of gay male couples have children under age 25 living in the
home with them. For women, it's nearly 17 percent. Those percentages
basically make the fear of gay men's promiscuity with regard to
raising children fairly irrelevant as the overwhelming majority do not
have children. Those that do have probably put a great amount of
thought and effort into it.
