The claim that is being asserted by gay activists is that children raised by gays are no worse off that children raised in two parent married heterosexual families. So of course you would compare these two groups rather than the gay parenting families with the less than ideal scenarios of children raised in orphanages or foster-care.

If the kids were not housed with a Gay couple - this is where they would wind up, right? Children from a married couple typically don't wind up in Foster care. To do any study, you have to avoid "cherry-picking" the subjects.
However, I believe that any honest study would find that children housed in Foster-care or an Orphanage would STILL be better off than those placed in a Gay Household.
