Children of Same Sex Parents and a Study Commissioned by Anti-gay Texans
The study is published in the journal Social Science Research in conjunction with several other papers, all more or less dealing with the same topic. In one study reviewing the previous data on children of same-sex couples, Loren Marks of Louisiana State University draws a bead on the American Psychological Association’s stated position — which is based on said previous data — that there is “no difference” between being raised by a conventional, straight ’til-death-do-us-part couple or a gay couple. That statement is not supported by robust enough research, Marks contends.
Three other sociologists offer modifying views in the issue, including David J. Eggebeen, associate professor of the department of human development and family studies at Penn State, who writes flatly: “These papers do not prove anything.”
