The teens raised by lesbian parents were rated higher in social, school, academic, and total competence, Gartrell found, while they were rated lower than the peers in the comparison group in engaging in problem behaviors such as rule-breaking and aggression.

Very ambiguous details on the actual ratings, but seems they are thrilled with the docile behavior.

Seeing that the data is being gathered from children who are indoctrinated into the homosexual lifestyle from birth, it would follow that the bulk of the questions dealing with social and total competence likely revolved around acceptance and tolerance of that lifestyle, and if that was the case, the results were neither surprising or unexpected, and the researchers were more or less guaranteed specific results as a consequence.

Even though I do not have a copy of the questionnaires, I would venture to say that the results of this "study" are fraudulent from the ground up and are the product of an agenda. Also, I'm of a belief that the results are both pointless and useless.

and total competence

At 8, I was raising and slaughtering rabbits for meat for the family and locals. You think they include something like that in 'total competence'?

Same thing struck me. It is the same thing that causes the experts to over-prescribe docility drugs to little boys.

The bottom line is that unless you have their definitions for "social, school, academic, and total competence", then you really have no idea what they might have actually measured, excluded, included, etc.

The other thing that strikes me is that that child DOES have a male parent someplace. If there is any kind of court-ordered joint custody, with these children spending time with each parent, then, that too undercuts this study.

In terms of actual research that says, "children do best with their own natural parents" it does exist. That fact was the basis of the fed court decision in Nebraska that the government does have an interest in marriage being between male and female.

My guess is that this study is trying to target the underpinnings of that court decision.
