Well, what do you think of the essay? What was its thesis? Did you agree or disagree? Why? Did they make any particularly good points? Was there anything they got wrong or neglected to say? What are the implications of what they wrote?

Jot down your answers to those questions, reviewing the essay you are analyzing as you go, and what you want to say in response to the essay will begin to emerge. Once you have a start, post it here for feedback.

I haven't read the essay in question, but if the topic is children with gay fathers, then the obvious question for you to answer would be "how does having a gay father affect a child?" and/or "Is this good or bad for the child?"

Here is my thesis: Parenting styles of gay fathers are not markedly different from those of other sinlge fathers, because gay fathers try to create a more stable environment and more positive relationships with their children.
- i basically agree with this because sexual preference of the fathers does not change their priorities in their children's lives.

Your thesis is self-contradictory. You say that gay fathers are "not markedly different" but then list two differences, that they "try to create a more stable environment and more positive relationships." This is just a structural problem with how you have phrased the thesis. The idea itself -- that sexual orientation does not change the priorities of fathers and that, indeed, gay fathers may be even more motivated to create stable environments and positive relationships -- is sound and supported by research.

I think perhaps you mean that "Parenting styles of gay fathers are not markedly different from those of other single fathers, because gay fathers also try to create a more stable environment for and more a positive relationship with their children."
