SURPRISE! Children raised in lesbian families are just fine, in fact, they’re OUTSTANDING!

A nearly 20-year study following 78 lesbian parents through their pregnancy and into their children’s adolescent lives has found that their children are doing fine.

That is, they’re doing fine socially, psychologically, and academically.

In fact, they even show signs of being less prone to aggressive, rule-breaking behaviors.

US News & World Report states:

“One of the things that opponents of the equalities of gays and lesbians — in marriage, parenting, adoption and foster care — often bring up is the so-called gold standard of parenting, which defined by them is the traditional family where children are conceived in traditional ways and not through insemination or surrogates. But, when we compared the adolescents in our study to the so-called gold standard, we found the teens with lesbian mothers were actually doing better [...]“

The study author, Dr. Nanette Gartrell, a Williams Distinguished Scholar at the University of California Los Angeles School of Law, concluded that when compared to the traditionally reared teens, adolescents with lesbian parents rated significantly higher in social, academic and total competence. The teens with lesbian parents also rated significantly lower when it came to social problems, rule-breaking and aggressive behavior than teens raised in more traditional families.

Even in homes where the lesbian parents had split up, the researchers found that those teens still fared better than teens from more traditional families. [READ ENTIRE STORY]
