What types of children’s behavior would the study deem ABNORMAL or INFERIOR in comparison to children raised in normal households?

It just seems to me that the results are entirely subjective to begin with.

My guess is that no study would use such terms as "abnormal" or "inferior." What they would look at are measurable markers of growth and adjustment such as health, school grades, participation in sports, instances of juvenile offenses, instances of teen pregnancy, rate of drug or alcohol use, etcetera. They would then compare these rates among children raised by gays or lesbians against a similar demographic of children raised by married biological parents, arriving at a statistical comparison of the groups studied, not a personal or moral judgment of individuals.
