I strongly disagree and that reasoning is dangerous. Politicians are not clueless and innocent. They are highly dangerous psychopaths. They are not dumb, they are evil.

I've seen statistics that it happens more frequently with adopted or step-children. For gay parents, at least one of them is not the biological parent. Which may skew your perception. But doesn't show causation.
That said, I don't think gay or lesbian couples are the best option to raise kids, though preferable to the state. Kids need a mother and a father.
