The easiest way to refute your b.s. is to just requote it for all the world to see what you want to ignore...
Numerous research studies conducted over the past decade find that gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) youth make up 25-40% of the homeless youth population in NYC and other large cities. One study found half of 432 homeless youth surveyed identified as gay, lesbian, or bisexual (Clatts, et al., 1996).

I discounted the importance of GENDER in making inseparable impacts.
That is a far way off from "discounting the *roles* of mothers and fathers".
It would be like pointing out that a Honda or a Chevy could get me to work. Which brand it is isn't important.
And then you come in and try to pretend I am discounting the brands themselves...

As I have repeatedly pointed out, but you dishonestly obfuscate, the important issue is NUMBER of parents.
Considering most parenting households are "mother-father", and the TYPICAL situation of a "missing-father" is NOT "two-mothers", it's obviously a non-comment on the other situations.
By your standards, if somebody pointed out the "missing-father" situation condemning the fathers, you would automatically assume that the person talking was criticizing fathers who happened to die from cancer for being absent...

If the father is a loving father, he would not interject his personal stereo-types and prejudices against the child.
Your "learn that such a lifestyle is harmful" is EXACTLY the type of crap I was talking about with regards to parents who do not kick the child out of the home, yet ostracize them nonetheless.
There is nothing inherently "harmful" about being gay.

If anybody else doesn't understand my point, I'll be happy to explain.
"Stinger" has shown he obviously has no interest in reading or understanding what I'm talking about, so I'm not going to waste time on repeating myself for him...
