Study Examines Teens Of Gay Couples
http://www.365gay.com/newscon04/11/111504lesbParents.htm

Teenagers of same-sex female parents are developing as well as the children of opposite-sex parents, and good quality family relationships are more important contributors to successful development than family type, according to a new study published in the November/December issue of the journal Child Development.

The study also indicates that teenage offspring of same-sex couples have similar dating and romantic relationship behaviors as children of opposite-sex couples.

“The best predictor of teens’ adjustment is the quality of their relationship with parents,” said Charlotte J. Patterson, co-author of the study and professor of psychology at the University of Virginia. “If parents are supportive and maintain close relationships with them, teenagers are more likely to be successful and happy at home and at school.”

2. Excellent post! Thanks!
But yeah, the fundies aren't going to be swayed. They can't spin it to their advantage, however; they can only ignore it, just like the global warming report.

The Bush administration and his lemmings hate science.
