Look at the people criticizing this study.

No bias there. LOL.

You mean a study presented at the conference RENACER, which is a member of PATH, which stands for Positive Alternatives to Homosexuality?
Positive Alternatives to Homosexuality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

No, they don't. Research 101. Methodology is everything in such studies. Flaw in the methodology? Guess what, the research is for crap.

Oh, well if you are going to dismiss critics of the study because of bias, you will surely dismiss the study itself based on the bias of those that funded the study. Not going to be a hypocrite, are you?

"Regnerus was upfront about the funding from conservative groups . . ."

So left-leaning, pro-homosexual groups tell you they have no merit and we are supossed to believe you? lols.

The overwhelming statistical evidence proves that kids do best when raised by intact heterosexual couples. It's always been this way, it likely always will be.

I have no idea why liberals try and say different. They like to ignore facts when they don't match their emotions I reckon.

You are a hypocrit here, not me.

you're the one dismissing the study because of what the critics say, not accounting for the critics bias.

My mistake.

I saw "Catholic News Agency" and chose to not open it.

I wonder if the CNA reported on this study, done by the American Academy of Pediatrics :

Coparent or Second-Parent Adoption by Same-Sex Parents

And, as far as that other article, it dealt with the fact that adoptive children of same sex couples face more stress. Could that stress be a direct result of the intolerance these kids face from ignorant bigots?

My suggestion would be to support same sex adoption but get rid of the ignorant bigots.

Exactly the point.

Why is it some people are determined to post things that attempt to smear and defame the LGBT Community?

News flash: there are hundreds of thousands of same sex couples doing an excellent job raising kids.

You reckon wrong. The author of the study didn't control correctly for the variables in the population of the study. Pretty simple. And, if you need further evidence:

""Whether same-sex parenting causes the observed differences cannot be determined from Regnerus' descriptive analysis," said Cynthia Osborne, associate professor at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at The University of Texas at Austin."

Didn't you say something once about attending law school? or, wanting to be an attorney?
You'll need to familiarize yourself with the word above.
