Study Suggests Risks From Same-Sex Parenting

Study suggests risks from same-sex parenting

Two studies released Sunday may act like brakes on popular social-science assertions that gay parents are the same as - or maybe better than - married mother-father parents.
“The empirical claim that no notable differences exist must go,” University of Texas sociology professor Mark Regnerus said in his study in Social Science Research.
Using a “gold standard” data set of nearly 3,000 randomly selected American young adults, Mr. Regnerus looked at their lives on 40 measures of social, emotional and relationship outcomes.
He found that, when compared with adults raised in married, mother-father families, adults raised by lesbian mothers had negative outcomes in 24 of 40 categories, while adults raised by gay fathers had negative outcomes in 19 categories.
Findings like these contradict claims that there are no differences between gay parenting and heterosexual, married parents, said Mr. Regnerus, who helped develop the New Family Structures Study at the University of Texas.
Instead, “[C]hildren appear most apt to succeed well as adults when they spend their entire childhood with their married mother and father, and especially when the parents remain married to the present day,” he wrote.

And these studies were probably tax-payer funded...just discovering what common sense already knows! Hopefully people will pay attention to it, but since common sense is a rarity anymore, I doubt it.

Your right, common sense, has been thrown out, its considered old fogy stuff.

Seems to be a lot of objection from the Bibliophobic crowd.

The world doesn't like to see the Bible proven correct.

Unfortunately there are a growing number of professing Christians who think it's okay for homosexuals to be given children to raise.
