    How was your life being raised with same sex parents? Also do you think you turned out well?

    Do you feel like you're lacking something from not having an opposite-sex parent the way people opposed to same-sex parenting like to suggest?

    I don't have same sex parents but I was raised by my mother and grandmother with no father figure present and I don't feel like I missed out at all. I had two parents that loved me and cared for me and provided everything for me that I needed to become a functioning adult. Neither myself nor my sister have ever smoked, taken drugs or abused alcohol. We both have a university education and she is just starting a family.

    Sometimes I wish my father had been around and I can get teary eyed when father-daughter events are mentioned or take place because I feel left out but being raised by two strong, confident and amazing women, regardless of whether they were in a relationship or not, has not made me a weaker or disadvantaged person.
