Kids of lesbians have fewer behavioral problems, study suggests - CNN.com
However:
Do you think funding affects the bias of this or any other study?
And if anti-gay/lesbian groups are so sure that children from gay/lesbian households are all ****ed up, why don't they fund their own study to prove it?
IMO, the sexual preferences of the parents is irrelevant. The only things that are relevant is the love, support, comfort, security, encouragement, and involvement of the parents.
A nearly 25-year study concluded that children raised in lesbian households were psychologically well-adjusted and had fewer behavioral problems than their peers.
The study, published Monday in the journal Pediatrics, followed 78 lesbian couples who conceived through sperm donations and assessed their children's well-being through a series of questionnaires and interviews.
However:
Wendy Wright, president of the Concerned Women for America, a group that supports biblical values, questioned the legitimacy of the findings from a study funded by gay advocacy groups.
"That proves the prejudice and bias of the study," she said. "This study was clearly designed to come out with one outcome -- to attempt to sway people that children are not detrimentally affected in a homosexual household."
