While I've been fond of pointing this out in the past as well, let's be real: I wonder if this would even out if heterosexual couples had to go through the same efforts to have a kid. I'm not sure we can credibly compare these two scenarios given that one can "accidentally" happen and the other can't.

Incidentally, the title of that includes "parent-reported."

There's still no such thing as an in-person opposite-sex relationship that is happy and stable and I fully admit I only defend long-distance ones for the sake of avoiding hypocrisy as I'm currently in one because my boyfriend and we stabilize eachother's mental health. A home with opposite-sex parents cannot be an adequately safe and caring environment for a child because of this lack of equality and thus stability.

I'm afraid I can't quite make sense of your assertions here, as they sound as dogmatic and disconnected from reality as some of the sentiments of some women on Ovarit.

The only stable, happy couple I've ever met full stop was two lesbians I knew in high school. Meanwhile, my (opposite-sex) parents are both dicks to eachother and are really fukken bad at parenting.

I back my ideas with observation and logic.

That's what most of us here do. Making a blanket statement that's trivially easy to refute—so easy that it isn't worth the effort to do so—is a perplexing choice.

I'm sorry your parents are dicks, nonetheless.

Yeah I'm pretty damn sorry they're dicks too, they're a right pain to put up with.
