Conservatives are excitedly promoting a new study that supposedly reveals negative outcomes for the children of same-sex parents. Like the infamously flawed Mark Regnerus study rushed out two years ago, the new study seems timed to impact the Supreme Courts upcoming consideration of marriage equality for same-sex couples. It suffers, however, from some of the same flaws and biases as Regnerus study, and doesnt actually support the argument against marriage equality that it tries to make.

They said it was a flawed study, because the homosexuals weren't all married. Since homosexuals have sex with anything which stands still for long enough, i.e. they're not faithful, so they have no reason to be married (not to mention, all the articles I've been seeing on homosexual sites about the "new" thing - polyamory), why does that mean homosexuals aren't horrendous parents? It won't let me post the article, so I'm posting the title.

Sounds more like sour grapes of reality getting in the way of ideology.

Any study that begins with the premise that two people of
the same sex can become parents certainly is hugely flawed.

In addition, liberals manufactured enormously flawed pseudoscience studies stating that queer “families” are healthy and superior.

I knew a guy who came out as gay. He already had two young kids.
He managed to get custody for a while with “husband” #1. After that, it was a parade of different men through the house. Mom took over custody, but now kids have serious behavior and self-worth issues.
I’ve never seen a stable or normal “gay family.” Maybe they exist somewhere - I haven’t seen one.

The real disagreement is seldom over what the data reveal. Its how scholars present and interpret the data that differs profoundly. You can make the children of same-sex households appear to fare fine (if not better), on average, if you control for a series of documented factors more apt to plague same-sex relationships and households: relationship instability, residential instability, health and emotional challenges, greater economic struggle (among female couples), andperhaps most significantlythe lack of two biological connections to the child. If you control for these, you will indeed find no differences left over. Doing this gives the impression that the kids are fine at a time when it is politically expedient to do so.New Research on Same-Sex Households Reveals Kids Do Best With Mom and Dad
