Children of same-sex parents enjoy better levels of health and wellbeing than their peers from traditional family units, new Australian research suggests.
In what they described as the largest study of its type in the world, University of Melbourne researchers surveyed 315 same-sex parents and 500 children about their physical health and social wellbeing.
Lead researcher Doctor Simon Crouch said children raised by same-sex partners scored an average of 6 per cent higher than the general population on measures of general health and family cohesion.
. . .
Ms Phillips also questioned the the objectivity of the study's lead researcher.
"Simon Crouch is raising two young children himself with his male homosexual partner, the results should be taken with caution," she said.

False.
And here’s a story you WON’T see in the MSM:
Pure, unmitigated, BS!
“See, see, you mean-old bible-thumping right-wing monsters? We canth raiseth kidsth too!”
Well, if one Dad is good, two must be great. //sarcasm
After exhaustive research I have concluded drinking beer makes me more attractive to women.
I’ve been hearing this bull since the gay rights movement came of age circa 1968. Unicorns and daisies in gay man land - not AIDs, syphilis, pedophilia and all the disgusting practices advertised in the Village Voice of my youth.
Again, I will recommend the conservative site “Gay Patriot” which is a group of truly conservative gay guys who deplore the gay rights movement and write fearlessly on their vulger agenda.
the results should be taken with caution,” she said.
Caution? Call it the bullshlt it is....stop pussyfooting around with these people...even 20yrs ago this “study” would have been laughed at on its face and have never seen the light of day.
Old news, and a crock of poo! A crappy “study” if there ever was one.
Shazam! Nature has been doing it wrong all these millions of years.
There are about four million kids in Australia. This “study” involved only 500 kids.
Who did the research — homosexuals, or modern day witch-doctors who treat them with psychotic drugs? Did they confer with God on their research.
Let’s see a study based upon interviews of 30 year old adults who were raised in homo households....
scientific fakery. The study was of self selected couples, of course, who tended to be upper middle class educated, and compared to the general population.
Apples and oranges.
As best I can tell, this case is STILL dragging on . . . as the attorneys for the child-molesters claim that they are only looking out for the welfare of the children. Monstrous beyond imagination - except in the Neverland of Obama’s America.
Not a study, but a survey. Not a “survey study” (a survey of other studies), but a “survey survey”, where they ask opinions of a subclass of people.
The “survey” compares the selected group of same-sex couples and children to the “general population”.
Except it sounds like the “selection” was “volunteer” — which means families that WANTED to be part of the process, meaning they were likely very well-behaved families, who would score high.
The article doesn’t even mention where the “general population” information comes from, I’m guessing from some real survey of the “general population”, which wouldn’t match whatever their criteria was.
But even the protagonist in the article gives an interesting counter-factual. Arguing that the children are better off, he also says that they face a lot of discrimination and stress, that they have to overcome. They never try to explain how being raised in a family that opens you up to bullying and ridicule is not considered a NEGATIVE factor in a survey of “well-being”.
Finally, they argue that there is less stress in the “partnerships” because each partner chooses what they are good at, rather than accepting “typical gender roles”. Apparently, this gay man believes in sex stereotypes, and can’t fathom a heterosexual family where the partners actually complement one another. He also can’t imagine two gay men who could possible hook up without first checking if they are complementary regarding their roles in a “family”.
I could tell him that my family never had any angst over who did what, and certainly not based on gender roles. I’d have been happy to quit my job if my wife had wanted to actually work for a living, rather than just for fun as she chose.
