Is Gay Parenting Bad for the Kids? (Study: Children of gay couples are disadvantaged)
National Review ^ | June 10, 2012 6:00 P.M. | By Charles C. W. Cooke

Posted on 06/11/2012 8:25:46 AM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

In his new Social Science Journal study...Mark Regnerus set out to answer the question of whether children who have parents in a same-sex relationship experience disadvantages when compared with children raised by their biological, married parents.

The answer, contra the zeitgeist, appears to be a resounding yes. Children with a parent in a same-sex relationship “underperform” in almost every category.

Some of these differences may be relatively benign — whether one voted in the last presidential election, for example — but most are decidedly not.

One deficit is particularly worrying: Less than 2 percent of children from intact, biological families reported experiencing sexual abuse of some nature, but that figure for children of same-sex couples is 23 percent.

Similarly disturbing is that 14 percent of children from same-sex couples have spent some time in foster care, compared with around 2 percent of the American population at large. Arrest, drug experimentation, and unemployment rates were all higher among children from same-sex families.

Less than 2 percent of children from intact, biological families reported experiencing sexual abuse of some nature, but that figure for children of same-sex couples is 23 percent.

Meaning that nearly one in five children of same-sex couples has been sexually abused.

Good God...you don't have to be a brain surgeon (or a psychiatrist) to understand that being raised by any kind of misfit/pervert will badly damage a child.

If you presented this huge discrepancy to your avg lib, they wouldn’t believe it, it’s a tenet of their religion that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being homosexual.

To a narcissist, a child is just a kind of hood ornament.

Keep an eye on this....there will be a major effort to shut this guy up. Don’t be surprised if he retracts this study and apologizes....

23% is more than 1 in 5. (20%) It's nearly 1 in 4. (25%)

I was thinking the same thing. The college he works for is going to find some reason to fire him for this.

Let’s see O’Reilly spin this.

what is the common denominator of that 23% of predators?

where is the MSM? nearly 1/4 of a group of children are being targeted and the MSM is deafeningly silent.

Of course, this will do nothing to hamper the ability of gay couples to adopt kids.

“Less than 2 percent of children from intact, biological families reported experiencing sexual abuse of some nature, but that figure for children of same-sex couples is 23 percent.”

LIES!!! All LIES!!! The APA has determined that Gay is great and normal and beneficial to society! These people must be stripped of their jobs and their reputations destroyed immediately!

Our leader does not endorse this trash. He has honored the homo community properly! How dare these people let fact and reality interfere with the cause? We cannot let this spread. People will get ideas and think that gays shouldn’t have access to kids. Imagine! Worse, they might think for a change and realize that the homos are just recruiting from birth!

LIES I TELL YOU!!! LIES!!!

Yep, lots of sexual abuse; but, hey, let’s just continue to allow these people to adopt. Progressive social experimentation is always bad for children, this is just the newest form.

Disadvantaged! That’s great news! Now we know that we’ll need lots of government programs to address this “disadvantage.”

See how easy it is! The left always wins!

This isn’t going to go over very well for some folks. Some things are just understood.
