good thing the social sciences aren’t particularly easy to manipulate for propaganda purposes. Yes, sarcasm.

Nothing better than a totally unnatural and immoral upbringing I guess.

From a methodology point of view:

• "Volunteered" means self-selected. Couples who feel their families are great, would be many times more likely to volunteer, that couples who felt their family life was high-stress, disappointing, conflict-filled, or falling apart.

• "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.

• Question: I didn't catch it in the article: What were the ages of the kids? Did they report on families whose kids were adolescent or beyond? And was there objective verification in terms of school records, hospital records, psychiatric records, police records?

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.
