cjgl-2649	Meyer, Erin Marie	Gay Fathers: Disrupting Sex Stereotyping and Challenging the Father-Promotion Crusade	2011	52	.pdf	application/pdf	18232	659	45	Moreover, these studies provide some initial evidence from which one can argue that fathers, as traditionally defined, are not essential in ensuring that children experience positive developmental outcomes because the children of gay fathers have not been disadvantaged in their psychosocial growth as compared to children raised by heterosexual parents, despite evidence suggesting that the gay fathers have failed to conform to the father-promotion crusaders' sex-stereotyped definitions of father. Having parsed the term father as used by these authors into these four separate definitions, Part I1 then explores whether gay fathers fit these various definitions and could therefore, at least in theory, fulfill the needs served by having a male parent, a masculine parent, a parent who performs a traditional father role, and/or a parent who is complementary or supplemental to and/or different from a mother.	cache/cjgl-2649.pdf	txt/cjgl-2649.txt
