or at the very least, they'll make it look bad. :)


Kids With Lesbian Parents Do Just Fine
Study shows they might even be better adjusted than kids from traditional families


When compared to teens of the same age, adolescents raised by lesbian parents are doing just fine socially, psychologically and academically, new research finds.


Not only that, they have fewer social problems, and less aggressive and rule-breaking behaviors than other teens.

The nearly 20-year study has followed 78 teens since their lesbian mothers were planning their pregnancies, and concluded that these children "demonstrate healthy psychological adjustment." These findings stand in contrast to what some vocal opponents of gay or lesbian parents might have expected.

1. I'm glad to see this. Have they done a study on gay men raising children, too? Just
curious if there would be any difference or not. n/t

2. Not that I've read. I can't imagine the results would be much different, but...
scientifically, of course, I can't say.

4. Women in general have that civilizing affect on society...
Lesbian couples give you a double dose of it.
