From Time – Study: Children of Lesbians May Do Better Than Their Peers

The point of this post is not to debate the results of the study – while they are very interesting, the best part by far is the conservative response. I’ll simply quote Survivingtheworld.net who says it best in Lesson 669:

I don’t make these studies up – I just make sure you’ve heard about them.

Of course, science is always open for debate – if you’ve ever been at a scientific presentation, people will routinely ask questions about methods and analysis, and what the conclusions actually mean. In other words, debating science in comparison to other science. So what does the opposing side have to say about this study? Well, let me quote the president of Concerned Women of America:

"You have to be a little suspicious of any study that says children being raised by same-sex couples do better or have superior outcomes to children raised with a mother and father. It just defies common sense and reality."

Ah, yes, common sense. Because nothing has driven society and science forward more than common sense.
