Correlation between single parenthood and their child's development

Sean Penn won the best actor Oscar award for playing a gay man in Milk which begs the question from Fyaro, a single mum "will my son grow up with a natural attitude toward his own sex because he is raised by only one parent?"

From what I've read and from speaking to grown up friends who are straight and otherwise, it seems that a child without one parent can make the proper adjustment to life more easily than a child raised in a home filled with parental hostility and conflict.

Single parent or not, I believe it is always best to talk to children positively about their future. A single mother's positive attitude anticipating success in every phase of her fatherless child's life, is the strongest foundation for a young person.
