June 7, 2010 -- Children raised by lesbian parents develop into psychologically healthy teens and have fewer behavior problems than their peers, according to the latest report on a long-running study that began in 1986.....

Don’t worry. In a year or two there will be another report debunking this. Of course that one will be buried by the MSM. This claim is utterly ridiculous.

The teens raised by lesbian parents were rated higher in social, school, academic, and total competence, Gartrell found, while they were rated lower than the peers in the comparison group in engaging in problem behaviors such as rule-breaking and aggression.

Very ambiguous details on the actual ratings, but seems they are thrilled with the docile behavior.

Seeing that the data is being gathered from children who are indoctrinated into the homosexual lifestyle from birth, it would follow that the bulk of the questions dealing with social and total competence likely revolved around acceptance and tolerance of that lifestyle, and if that was the case, the results were neither surprising or unexpected, and the researchers were more or less guaranteed specific results as a consequence.

Even though I do not have a copy of the questionnaires, I would venture to say that the results of this "study" are fraudulent from the ground up and are the product of an agenda. Also, I'm of a belief that the results are both pointless and useless.

“A significantly greater proportion of young adult children raised by lesbian mothers than those raised by heterosexual mothers in the sample reported having had a homoerotic relationship (6 of the 25 young adults raised by lesbian mothers [24%] compared with 0 of the 20 raised by heterosexual mothers.) 64 percent of the young adults raised by lesbian mothers report having considered same-sex relationships (in the past, now or in the future), compared with only 17 percent of those raised by heterosexual mothers.”

Those advocating the homosexual agenda rely for foundational credibility on the 1973 decision by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to remove homosexuality from its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). However, concurrently and subsequently, no papers were presented refuting research previously done.

After this unsubstantiated decision, a new task force ensured perpetual sanctity for the APA action. The task force set standards for peer review of articles to dictate appropriate flexibility in design definitions, outcomes, and analytical models. This paper must follow those design standards to reach publication in any “worthy” venue.

Psychology and Psychiatry have chosen to abandon all pretense of scientific rigor in exchange for popular societal and political acclaim. In Genesis 3:23-24 the Lord God banished humanity from the Garden of Eden and placed an angel before the Garden to keep humanity away forever. By their actions, Psychology and Psychiatry appear content to keep science away from their own Garden of Eden.

Well I bet the researchers already had this in mind. Most of those who do these studies are either homosexual or start out from a clear homosexual activist bias. There have been other studies that have shown such as below.

The study was funded by a variety of organizations, including the Lesbian Health Fund of the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association and others, but the funders had no roles in the study, Gartrell says.

I'm certain the organizations knew exactly who to get to perform the study in order to get the results they were looking for.

WebMD requested comments on the new research from two organizations that favor traditional family structures -- Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council. Spokespeople for both groups said they will try to review the findings and provide comment, but those comments were not received in time for publishing.

Be sure to check with those websites...I'm sure they will have a well reasoned response to this study in the near future, if not already.

My ex sister-in-law and her lesbian wife had a pair of twin boys via IVF. These were some of the sweetest, brightest and good looking boys that anyone could dream of. It would break my heart when the boys would beg me accompany them for father-son day at school and would not leave me alone on their visits following me from room to room just begging for attention. If you talked to these fine young men, you would be greatly impressed by their apparent normal development but just a little digging would reveal their overwhelming need for a male father figure in their lives.

I think I found another blogger who agrees with you:
“I haven’t read the study, which comes out in July in the journal Pediatrics, but I’d venture that childhood outcomes have little to do with sexual orientation per se. For gay parents, having a child is a more “involved,” and in most cases expensive, process. It generally involves hefty adoption fees or paying for assisted reproduction technology. So those who have children are a self-selecting group: They want children and are wealthy enough to either meet adoption requirements – and pay the fees – or pay large medical bills. It’s no surprise that the lesbian parents in the study were very involved.”

YIKES! The harsh comment under the article I linked to follows:
“Isn’t it wonderful that most children of lesbian parents have no idea about ther other half? One half of their genetic makeup is a freeloader psychopath sperm donor (only a freeloader would not contribute financially or otherwise and abandon his offspring), and the other half is a selfish reproducer who thinks that her desire to reproduce trumps her offspring’s right to know and have a good father who is involved in their lives. By sanctioning conception via donated sperm and eggs, by virtue of passing selfish freeloader psychopath genes, the society is signifiantly increasing the percentage of those within it that have these attributes.”

and total competence

At 8, I was raising and slaughtering rabbits for meat for the family and locals. You think they include something like that in 'total competence'?

3. These lesbian kids are manufactured.... donors picked for abilities and traits in a lab.

Not always or even generally. Generally they are one or both of the women's kids from a bad relationship with a man. Either he never married her, just beat her, or married her and beat her, or just slept with pretty much anyone who got drunk enough to have him.

Now what you say about "manufactured" kids may be true of well educated women who were "always" lesbians. But not of lower income, "discovered" lesbians.

Funny thing is, that if they are one of the women's kids, the other women often treats them worse than a step dad or live in "uncle" would.

From a website called 365gay, these comments about the study:
“The study, done by researchers at Birkbeck College in London and Clark University in Massachusetts. says that children that are brought up by female couples are less likely to be confined by traditional gender roles and would even aspire to more male professions, said the Daily Mail”

Since most lesbian couples adopt,

Wouldn't be so sure about that. Many are made up of one "always a lesbian" and one who is at most bisexual, or just flexible sexually , but somewhat passive. She may very well have kids from previous relationships with one or more guys. The dyke likely doesn't treat her or her kids any better than the male scumbag who fathered them.

You should read the article:

Researchers followed them and their children as they conceived through donor insemination.

It was a control study.

All else equal, it’s probably better to have “two mommies” than “two daddies.” The violence level is much greater in the latter situation. This still sounds like the result of fishy polling.
