Children of same-sex parents enjoy better levels of health and wellbeing than their peers from traditional family units, new Australian research suggests.
In what they described as the largest study of its type in the world, University of Melbourne researchers surveyed 315 same-sex parents and 500 children about their physical health and social wellbeing.
Lead researcher Doctor Simon Crouch said children raised by same-sex partners scored an average of 6 per cent higher than the general population on measures of general health and family cohesion.
"That's really a measure that looks at how well families get along, and it seems that same-sex-parent families and the children in them are getting along well, and this has positive impacts on child health," Dr Crouch said.
There were more than 33,000 families with same-sex parents living in Australia, according to the most recent Australian Bureau of Statistics census.

Here is another part of the explanation:
“”I wasn’t surprised that these parents who volunteered for the study all thought their children were doing well,” Ms Phillips said.”
There are plans at a later date to use reporting based on surveys of the kids and not the ‘parents’.
IOW, this study shows that the homosexual parents who volunteered for the ‘study’ by a homosexual activist reported their families were happier than heterosexual families. No questions were asked of the kids, no results from later in life to see how the kids turned out...just the homosexual parents scoring their success as homosexual parents!
Nope, no slanting there!
"For 80% of the children a female parent completed the survey, 18% were completed by a male parent, with 2% [yep - only two percent of the 350 surveyed!] having an other gendered parent."

DO THE MATH!
Let’s check back in 30 years and see how happy they are.
I wonder how they explain the facts of life to kids in a homosexual organization.
“And then daddy stuck his penis into Gene’s behind, and that’s where you came from!”
“So, I’m a turd?”
“That’s really a measure that looks at how well families get along, and it seems that same-sex-parent families and the children in them are getting along well, and this has positive impacts on child health”
Robots probably get great together all the time as well. Getting along all the time must mean the kids get whatever they want to “shut up”. That rarely turns out well adjusted adults. Gee I guess gay couples will be pushed to the front of the adoption lines now.
"A New Zealand pro-life commentator has blasted the methodology and findings of an Australian sociological study that found that children with homosexual, bisexual or lesbian parents are happier and healthier than kids from the average family."

"Intervew" means self-reported. There's a huge and acknowledged reporting-bias when people are recounting their own behavior, especially behavior as emotionally fraught as sex and family life.
Naturally, the same deficiencies in methodology would plague any researcher --- pro-homosexual, pro-normal, or strictly unbiased --- because of the nature of the subject. You can't access people's private records against their will; there are no uniform mandatory reporting requirements for medical history; juvenile arrest and conviction records are often destroyed.
But these are questions one must ask.
So, they ask activist homosexual “parents” how their children were doing?
Well, that’s an objective source. /sarc
More BS.
Same-sex “couples” tend to be above the median income, so the children have that in their favor
...that was my thought exactly...homosexuals are considerably richer than a lot of straights, and it’s not surprising that the home life is more comfortable...
Its pure propaganda, junk science. The study essentially says being brainwashed and possibly molested is good for kids.
“First draw your graph, then plot the points.”
Determine your agenda.
Cherry pick the data.
Manipulate the model until you data fits your agenda.
...actually, has it ever been any other way...? Human nature being what it is, and all...?
They’ll push this just like eugenics and global warming. Fags will get preferential deference in adoption. Truly sickening.
I have good news for you, madprof -- you are WRONG.
Unfortunately, of course, demoralized and pessimistic conservatives have decided to believe the public believes these twisted judges.
The fact that JUDGES must force their decisions on an objecting public, the fact that JUDGES must overturn ballot measures such where, when put to a vote, the public OVERWHELMINGLY rejects the notion that homosexual and heterosexual relationships are "the same," is CONFIRMATION that the public knows that the "exactly the same" claim is a lie.
Leftists and liberals are the minority in America. It is why they have to use judges to enforce their agenda against the majority, and it is why they have to gin, manufacture, harvest, and manipulate votes to get their candidates in office. We Americans who oppose the leftist agenda outnumber the leftists; that is why they cheat and that is why they must have and use leftist judges to overrule the majority.
And I’ll repeat; Total bullsh!t!
The MSM will never admit the psychological effects of homo parents on kids.
“Total bullsh!t”
Absolutely.
“Same-sex parents eat children, according to my research”
Just throwing sh!t on the wall, and seeing if it sticks...
