Why would it not be similar to being raised by a single parent? How would a homosexual male educate a young boy about females when he has had no experience with them whatsoever?
How would a gay couple know how to raise a young girl for example?

Like I said I'm pretty ignorant to this stuff and I would like to be "educated".
Like I said, there are homosexual people who were raised by heterosexual couples.
I am guessing that the opposite can happen just as much! Either way, it doesn't really matter. Sexual orientation is really not something that you can choose.
It kinda develops as you grow up.

But according to a topic made not so long ago the homosexual person is born with a different "brain" than the heterosexual.

What if the person is heterosexual and is given to a homosexual couple? Isn't that a bad environment to be brought up in?

Your brain is not wired the same way when you are an infant and when you are a fully developed adult. That topic showed differences between fully developed adult brains.
I think that article was pretty much saying that some brains are more prone to be attracted to one sex or another. I might be wrong!
what?

No, it was found out that homosexuals have different brains than heterosexuals. It did not prove that they were born with different brains.

There is no correlation whatsoever. Children that are raised by a homosexual couple don't have a higher chance of turning out homosexual themselves. This is a myth propagated by those against homosexual marriage, and it's long been dispelled by real-world experience from countries that have legalized adoption by homosexual partners.

Right libertarians are typically not religious and don't believe in socially conservative values like NO GAYS.

No, the conventional understanding of left and right is what is bonkers.  Classically it refers to (as it does on this graph) to economics.  I.E. Socialism (left) vs. Free Market (Right).  Authoritarian vs. Libertarian refers to government's role on social issues and implementation of government policy.  Extreme authoritarians want the government to control everything, and extreme Libertarians want government to cease to exist. 

What is commonly thought of as the American right is a result of the marriage of free market economists with Christian and Moralist groups of a more authoritarian bent on social values.  This is a phenomenon that came out of Reagan's candidacy and was continued since in the Republican Party.  However when you are talking about the left and right it does not traditionally refer to regional politics, it refers to economics.
