The Australian Study of Child Health in Same-Sex Families is the world’s largest attempt to study how children raised by same-sex couples compare to children raised by heterosexual couples. According to a preliminary report on the study of 500 children across the country of Australia, these young people are not only thriving, but also have higher rates of family cohesion than other families:
An interim report found there was no statistical difference between children of same-sex couples and the rest of the population on indicators including self-esteem, emotional behaviour and the amount of time spent with parents.However, children of same-sex couples scored higher than the national average for overall health and family cohesion, measuring how well a family gets along.
if those who opposed read this will they "aw my bad", or call it a lie?
According to Dr. Simon Crouch, lead researcher on the study at Melbourne University, the way same-sex families have to cope with bullying and homophobia could impact how they relate to each other.A study recently found that 70 percent of gay and lesbian students in the Australian state of Queensland experience bullying from both students and teachers, so the children of same-sex couples likely experience similar taunts. If a student experiences stigma at school, the researchers hypothesize, the families are “generally more willing to communicate and approach the issues,” resulting in a closer family dynamic.
so those haters and bigots are making the case for same sex families while trying to tear them down and outlaw those who have never done anything to them but live on the same planet, i guess for bigots even that is too much.
halfway around the world and still it mirrors the anti American attitude of the right wing, "and justice for us not you".
