/^t/Besides the lack of tolerance and understanding, there is also another bad aspect of lots of people's life, namely the competition of sexes. It often happens that a wife and a husband struggle among themselves to mark their position in family, to prove that one is better or more important than the other. It leads to neverending quarells and competitive behaviour. Children, for sure, cannot be satisfied with such attitudes of their parents as all kids want warmth and love. In such a sexist society battle is on the first plan. It's emboded in professional relationships but also, to the detriment of children, in family relations. The children of homosexual couples need not observe every day sex struggles. The relationship of their parents is based on partnership and understanding. It does not matter that there is no strong division for mother and father, however in some homosexual couples there is such, sometimes the one sex only can do more good especially when the representatives of this sex offer love and a nice atmosphere at home. Children then can see that there is no hierarchy of importance, that everybody is equal and has equal rights. It is obvious, that if two persons chose homosexual model of relationship they did it on purpose. They must love each other, so there is no place for sex struggle there. Consequently, their children learn that to be a good parent it's aimless to quarell one with another or to compete. In such relationships the division of duties looks differently, it's better organized, so quarells don't exist so often as in "normal" ones.
