I'm not sure in today's age it is that bad. Probably would have been worse years ago.

I think actual gay kids get teased a lot at school, but I dont hear of it much with kids whose parents are gay.

Though the teasing reflects poorly on the parenting of the kids whose hetrosexual parents did not teach them it is wrong to make fun of people who may be different than you, or have a different family than you.. not on the kids being teased themselves.

I would bet money that the percentage of kids who have psychological issues with gay parents are right around the same percentage of kids who grow up in a traditional family. Now the gay children, I do think they have a higher percentage because they have to deal with the fact that some people dont respect them and are too young to understand that it is not their fault.
