Question number one:

Should same-sex couples be allowed to raise children?

That really depends on the couple. Some same-sex couples shouldn't have the right to even be around children, just like some heterosexual couples shouldn't. Some do, some dont, there is no yes or no. The results of the upbringing of the child depends strictly on that, on the upbringing of the child, not on the sexual preferences of the parents. Yes, parents have a lot of influence over developing minds, however who's to say what influences are good and which are bad? Who's to determine which will have negative effects on the child when they mature, and which will have positive, or nuetral?

Question number two:

Do you think there are any advantages to same-sex couples raising children?

Again, that would depend on the parents. I dont want to generalize, so I'll just leave it at that.

Maybe tonight we'll fly so far away... We'll be lost before the dawn...
