I don't see major problems with a gay couple raising a child.
Main arguement is "there are differeent things a man and woman can teach their children" or "role models" as genders. This point seems moot to me since this logic suggests single parents should not raise their children. It comes down to classifying people as two "sides" as man and woman instead of viewing them as humans prior to any and everything. Also society changes a lot.
These gender roles are nothing but boundries to hold people from finding and knowing what they are and who they want to be. I took most of my cooking tips from my father when i was a kid and did carpentery/repairing things around the house with my mother (saying this since "roles" suggests othervise regarding to men and women). There are people who are raised by single parent yet came out to be fine; and i am yet to say someone who remotely suggests "when one of the parents is gone the kid should not be raised by single remaining parent".
