Children of same-sex parents have above average health and well-being, research by the University of Melbourne shows.
The research was based on data from the Australian Study of Child Health in Same-Sex Families, which involved input from 315 same-sex parents and a total of 500 children. Of these participating families, 80 percent had female parents while 18 percent had male partners.
"It appears that same-sex parent families get along well and this has a positive impact on health," said Dr Simon Crouch from the Jack Brockhoff Child Health and Wellbeing Program, Centre for Health Equity at the University of Melbourne.
"We know that same-sex attracted parents are more likely to share child care and work responsibilities more equitably than heterosexual parent families, based more on skills rather than gender roles. This appears to be contributing to a more harmonious household and having a positive impact on child health," he said.

That does it ! Im turning gay and adopting 5 kids
What a pantload.
I just conducted a study. It showed that all studies conducted by liberals are completely fabricated. My study beats all of theirs.
This study was done by a homosexual who is raising kids with his homosexual partner. No bias there...
Also, ratings were based on reports of happiness by the parents, not the kids, nor did they follow up kids to see indications of stress such as alcoholism, etc.
So bottom line: Homosexual parents think they do a better job than straights, as surveyed by a homosexual activist.
Bringing you the rest of the story that NBC forgot to tell!
Not funny.
Raping kids makes them healthier apparently. Somebody release Jerry Sandusky
Not even a little bit funny?
Do you really think that they would allow the study to be audited or replicated through a blind study?
So when ‘mother’ is not necessarily female and ‘father’ is not necessarily male this could never lead to identity crisis issues in children right?
Just more Lieberal revisionisms gone banal.
One Dawn Stefanowicz begs to differ. Please read the interviews below with Dawn about her book, Out from Under.
Raised Under the GLBT Umbrella

Dawn Stefanowicz explains her experience being raised by a gay parent
http://winteryknight.wordpress.com/tag/dawn-stefanowicz/
Her book is here - it was first published in 2007, now updated. Comments on Amazon are quite enlightening as well:
The only really healthy kids are the ones who have a mom who dedicates her life to her children and a dad who loves and cares for his wife and children.
Kids need to experience a solid and significant male and female presence as they grow up.
They can not end up being spiritually and mentally healthy if they are surrounded by perverts.
...are a physical impossibility.
People lie. People with a stake in perpetuating a viewpoint lie even more. People who know they will be subject to all kinds of hate if they don’t lie can’t really be trusted to be honest. Just my opinion.

So, was the study was by a pro-LGBT group???
So, was the study was by a pro-LGBT group??? Where’s the role model?
The lead researcher is a homosexual who is raising kids with his sex partner. The ‘study’ was done by asking the ‘parents’ to rate themselves. Neither of those tidbits is in the NBC article.
“The Australian Study of Child Health in Same-Sex Families collected data on 500 children nationally, up to the age of 17. Of the 315 gay, lesbian and bisexual parents who completed the globally recognised child health questionnaire, 80 per cent were women.
“Dr Simon Crouch is a gay dad with twins. He is also running the worlds largest research project into the health and wellbeing of children of same-sex attracted parents (ACHESS).”

“These results from questionnaires completed by 315 gay, lesbian and bisexual parents showed no statistical difference in their children to the rest of the population in terms of their children’s mental and physical health, interaction with others and in their relationship with their parents. However, in measures of family cohesion and general health, children with same-sex parents scored significantly higher...Simon Crouch is a gay man with four-year-old twin boys, and this research is the largest study of gay families in the world, so far.”

So much for unbiased research - a homosexual activist studying family happiness by asking the homosexual parents how good a job they are doing.
bs. other studies hae shown the opposite. more violence, more problems, more prone to be screwed upmsexually like the adults.
