Conservative VS Gay parenting is a poor comparison.
It may be that I am limited in my mental resources and understanding of my fellow man, but comparing Gay vs Conservative parenting seems like a fairly flawed comparison from the beginning.

Comparing people who care for children enough to make sacrifices in their lives in order to even have a child against people who are narrow minded, selfish, and hateful is hardly a fair comparison. Gays vs Conservatives? This is like comparing apples to rotting oranges.

It is going to be pretty obvious that conservatives are going to lose in this comparison. Honestly, only a conservative would be dim enough to think that he was a better parent than someone with compassion and depth.

You might as well come up with a statistic asking about childhood deaths by guns. Of course a conservative family will have more children killed by guns that a gay family. This sort of thing is entirely unfair and biased from the beginning. Of course stupid people with guns in their houses are more likely to have children die in their homes by guns.

Now if you were to compare Log Cabin Gays to Conservative Heterosexuals, this would be a better test. Alas without an effective gaydar, this would be an impossible test. Seriously, any adult who believes that being Gay is a choice, has been working very hard to delude themselves that they are straight or are too shallow to even begin to understand their own thoughts. Comparing parenting skills between honest, compassionate self-aware gays with lying, hateful, closet denying gays is hardly a fair analogy.
