I wonder what the results would be of a study comparing white parents with black parents or Christian parents with Jewish parents? And what would be the point of such a study? Or why not compare households with mixed race or mixed religion compared with white Christian households?

Let’s do a study to find out how many children raised by gay parents are in prison. That should provide an interesting take on parenting skills.

Sarcasm/off.

Let’s not forget about the child who was put in a dog cage earlier this year. Or the kids who were drowned in the tub, or the ones who were drowned in their car when it went in a lake.

You can forget about James White. He is an anti-gay nutcase as well:

The mom once kissed a girl in high school so they are gay parents obviously.

The Journal of Social Science Research is available on line and there are 2 reviews of the “Gays Make Bad Parents” research by Regnerus the reviews are by Drs. Amato and Eggebeen.
http://www.journals.elsevier.com/social-science-research/recent-articles/

Here are the titles to their reviews:
“What can we learn from studies of children raised by gay or lesbian parents.” by David J. Eggebeen

“The well-being of children with gay and lesbian parents.” by Paul R. Amato

Do you see how the title wrongly infers that it is the well-being of children raised by parent(s). The logical assumption is that it is mommy+mommy or daddy+daddy. In fact this research is completely on mommy+daddy and one of them has a gay fling.

Please consider writing to them and asking them to change the Title to their article so that it is clear to the public that the relationship of the parents was mommy+daddy.

Dr. Amato pxa6@psu.edu

Dr. Eggebeen e5x@psu.edu

The editor of this Journal is Dr. James White james.wright@ucf.edu

You have to agree that these titles are very misleading to the public. that [s] in the word “parents” needs to be defined so that the public is not mislead.

We can spend our time on gay blogs talking to each other or we can actually do something. So please write and ask that the titles be changed.

The parents were only trying to make their children happy, because, as research shows, opposite gender couples are concerned only for their children’s happiness and never for themselves. It’s always about the children. Always.

I’ll happily generalize in a study that compares this one opposite-sex family to the only two families in Regnerus’ study which were comprised of same-sex partners for the child’s entire youth.

Yup, clearly the “gold standard” for parenting
