57. Gay parents are often targeted ...

Gay parents are often targeted by bigots and reported to child protection agencies with no evidence to back it up. Usually the accusation is child sexual abuse, playing to the old bigoted trope that all gays are pedophiles. The real shame to me is that fact that someone can make such an accusation anonymously, so that they can't be held to account when it all proves to be a lie.
