A child deserves a father and a mother. End conversation.
Lol. You or your book does not decide that
I'm guessing you're looking for a non biblical foundation to the common sense notion that *1* Men and Women are physically and psychologically different and that *2* the strengths of each gender is critical in raising a healthy child.

“One early study which did make a direct, couples-to-couples comparison was a 1996 study by an Australian sociologist who compared children raised by heterosexual married couples, heterosexual cohabiting couples, and homosexual cohabiting couples,” Sprigg reports. “It found that the children of heterosexual married couples did the best, and children of homosexual couples the worst, in nine of the 13 academic and social categories measured.”
About a decade ago, Canadian economist Douglas W. Allen, along with two co-authors used data from the 2000 United States Census to come to a similar conclusion.
“Compared with traditional married households, we find that children being raised by same-sex couples are 35 percent less likely to make normal progress through school,” Allen asserts.
He conducted similar research using Canada’s 2006 census data. “Children living with gay and lesbian families [i.e., a ‘same-sex married or common law couple’] in 2006 were about 65 percent as likely to graduate, compared to children living in opposite-sex marriage families,” Allen notes.
