The studies that ernie listed, which dealt with homosexual fathers, etc, are termed "Snowball studies."

Since those studies recruited from gay publications, etc, they are "snowball studies" and are highly inaccurate.

The most accurate studies are Registry studies. A Registry study dealing homosexual fathers raising children, for instance, would recruit fathers and then subsequently ask for their sexual orientation. The fathers would have no idea about what they were being recruited for, and thus the study would be highly accurate.

The studies Ernie listed one could term junk science.

Makes total sense. Kind of like Kinsey - he came up with the 10% figure after interviewing prisoners, prostitutes, drug addicts and the like. At least I think he included drug addicts.

Real cross section of society. Not.
