The reality is, "How many of these children will become walking mental time bombs in their later teen years and early twenties?"

Children of same-sex parents have above average health and well-being, research by the University of Melbourne shows.
The research was based on data from the Australian Study of Child Health in Same-Sex Families, which involved input from 315 same-sex parents and a total of 500 children. Of these participating families, 80 percent had female parents while 18 percent had male partners.
"It appears that same-sex parent families get along well and this has a positive impact on health," said Dr Simon Crouch from the Jack Brockhoff Child Health and Wellbeing Program, Centre for Health Equity at the University of Melbourne.
"We know that same-sex attracted parents are more likely to share child care and work responsibilities more equitably than heterosexual parent families, based more on skills rather than gender roles. This appears to be contributing to a more harmonious household and having a positive impact on child health," he said.
Children in same-sex parent families scored roughly six percent higher than the general population on measures of general health and family cohesion, according to the research. But within the categories of temperament and mood, behavior, mental health, emotional role and self-esteem, these children scored the same as children from the general population.

There’s no such thing as a child of a “same sex couple”.
The normalization of perversion continues...

"Stigma can be subtle, such as letters home from school addressed to Mr and Mrs," Dr Crouch said.
"Or it can be overt and very harmful, in the form of bullying and abuse at school... What we have found is that the more stigma these families experience the greater the impact on the social and emotional well-being of children," he added.
Or the stigma can result from the fact that the children can observe, all around them, children who are being raised in intact families. They then get a strong sense that something is abnormal about their situation. A feeling of stigma is not necessarily a result of someone else's actions.
I don’t know, but whatever they are, I’m sure their “children” are even happier than the standard deviants’.
thiu report is a year old. Dr Simon Crouch is a homosexual...so of course there is no bias
The article keeps referring to “children”, so I think that is one of the weak points of the “study”. They don’t seemed to have actually tracked any of these kids over a period of years to see the real results of this type of “parenting”. If the major problems arise in puberty, for example, and they just did a survey of a bunch of six year olds, then it’s going to be deeply flawed.
Gosh, I guess they forgot to survey the two gay men in San Antonio who adopted a little girl, dressed her like a whore, starved her nearly to death, then killed her by throwing her down a stairs repeatedly.
Great article as well as resource links!
Centre for Health Equity” says it all, doesn’t it?

Thanks for your posting of this data.
My wife and I have wondered about the mental problems these poor children will have while growing up and after they grow up.
Your reality dats answers our questions.
LOL! I may have to steal your picture and post it for future idiotic “studies” like this one.
It also sums up the entire LGBT movement quite nicely!
Glad to be of service :)
Ha Ha surely even homosexuals don’t believe that crap.
Seriously they can’t be that stupid can they to think this is genuine and factual?
Can that?
So the guy who did the study is infact himself a homosexual. Ha Ha
Here FRC’s take on the release of this “study”:
Upside Down Parenting Study Down Under
The Washington Post could barely contain its excitement in a new headline, “Children of same-sex couples are happier and healthier than peers, research shows.” This was double trouble, since the Post got its analysis wrong, and the latest study out of Australia suffers from the same flaws as almost all other pro-homosexual parenting research. The study is not of same-sex couples, but of “same-sex attracted parents,” who may or may not be in a relationship. It found that children with such a parent scored higher on measures of “general health,” “general behavior,” and “family cohesion” — yet lower (by less than the margin of error) on “mental health.”
But the data are of dubious value to begin with, because they are based on the parents’ own self-report (”My kid is doing great!”) rather than a more objective measure; and they are drawn from a “convenience sample” (like people responding to an ad in the “gay” media) rather than a genuinely random one. The distortion this introduces is clear from the socioeconomic profile of the sample — 73% of the homosexual parents had at least a college degree (vs. 28% of all Australian mothers), and 59% (79% of the men) had household incomes over $100,000 in Australian dollars (the median Australian household income is only $64,168).
In his 2012 research, sociologist Mark Regnerus of the University of Texas at Austin turned the conventional wisdom of the politically correct academic world on its head by proving that children raised by homosexual parents do suffer disadvantages when compared to children raised by their married mother and father. FRC’s Peter Sprigg analyzed the study — published in the journal Social Science Research. He and others confirmed that it was the most careful, rigorous, and methodologically sound study ever conducted on the issue — which explains why liberals have tried so desperately to discredit it.
Regnerus’s research found numerous and significant differences between these groups — with the outcomes for children of homosexuals rated “suboptimal” (Regnerus’s word) in almost every category. His study remains the gold standard for such research — and it clearly showed children do better with a married mom and dad.
This is how liberals manufacture their own talking points.
Their mountains of lies are build from bricks of past lies, debunked or not they never worry about BS sources they rarely reference being exposed. Its always my word vs yours when you come down to it for them. The trouble is their game is most people not knowing how worthless their word really is.
It takes 6 years before most all people finally catch on to the fact that their leaders like Obama are professional liers protected by the still supporting press. By that time they got a brand new con-artist to spin a bran new set of lies.
We should thoroughly debunk this sodomite madness but know in the end it matters little. They will still build their mountain of lies with bricks whether they have been addressed or not because they have successfully cornered the market on information access meaning we have little to no voice with which to challenge most of their lies.
This is the art of political lying.
