520			_a"At least 250,000 U.S. children [are] being raised in two-parent, same-sex homes, according to an analysis of census data by the Urban Institute, a nonpartisan Washington think tank. Hundreds of thousands more may go uncounted. Institute demographer Gary Gates said one-fifth of gay male couples and one-third of lesbian couples identified in the 2000 census have children in their homes. It's the core of the arguments for and against same-sex marriage. Supporters of same-sex marriage say children of gay couples would benefit from the tax breaks and legal bonds that can help keep heterosexual families intact. Critics say gay and lesbian homes dilute traditional values that embody what's best for families and children." (GANNETT NEWS SERVICE) This article examines how being raised in a gay household affects children.
