Would you leave your child alone with a same sex homosexual?

If I know the homosexual well, then I would trust him to look after my 3 year old boy.
If I do not know him well, then I would call the police for a check on the homosexual, before allowing him to look after my son.
if you are talking about sharing - you can forget about it.
your mind is sicker than mine
I don't know how many of you have children, but if you did you would know that the answer is not a matter of "gay or straight," but rather whether or not you know the "babysitter" well enough to trust her/him.
My wife and I have two daughters. One of my wife's sisters is gay. My daughters spend time with their aunt and her partner all the time. It's not a problem because I know and trust them. The same criteria (trust) would be applied to anyone who's around my daughters, be they gay or straight.

Took the words right out of my "mouth".
I think it was Reagan who said "it's not what you don't know. It's what you think you know that isn't so".
"Myth: A child is most likely to be sexually abused by a stranger.
Fact: Children are most often sexually abused by someone they know and trust. Approximately
three quarters of reported cases of child sexual abuse are committed by family members or other
individuals who are considered part of the victimâs âcircle of trust.â2'"

Yeah, I have to vote his and the Captain's answers as the best of the bunch.
This can be a troublesome issue when there are gay family members. They often expect to be allowed to host nieces and nephews for overnights, etc. The sad fact is that some percentage of male homos are ok with sexualizing young boys. It's not something the gay friendly media want to talk about, but they can't deny there is a group called NAMBLA which is dedicated to encouraging and facilitating such perversion. It's not like these people are going to admit it, so you never truly know. You have to ask, are you more worried about offending some relative or exposing your child to a potentially life-altering risk.
With lesbians, the risk seems to me more one of presenting the lifestyle as normal and acceptable. If that is the message you want to send your daughter, that's your privilege.
