Children of same-sex parents enjoy better levels of health and wellbeing than their peers from traditional family units, new Australian research suggests.

In what they described as the largest study of its type in the world, University of Melbourne researchers surveyed 315 same-sex parents and 500 children about their physical health and social wellbeing.

Lead researcher Doctor Simon Crouch said children raised by same-sex partners scored an average of 6 per cent higher than the general population on measures of general health and family cohesion.

. . .

Ms Phillips also questioned the the objectivity of the study's lead researcher.

"Simon Crouch is raising two young children himself with his male homosexual partner, the results should be taken with caution," she said.

This is a purely political study, nothing about it is scientific.

What's next, a study of pedophiles by pedophiles declaring the wonderful benefits to children?

When does the child consent to being brought into the "alternative lifestyle" home? I was told repeatedly that it's all about the actions of consenting adults at home.

Seems the impact is greater than just two adults.

Turning over children to sexual perverts should be a crime with a harsh penalty.

I would never have guessed that this researcher was a pervert himself.

Of course it is fake. Liberals are always having fake studies where the results have been determined beforehand.

“Studies” that rely on self-reporting are worse than useless.

Maybe all same-sex couples should move to Australia?

This study has been pretty thoroughly discredited. It was basically performed by asking a bunch of homosexuals with kids what they though about how their kids were doing. It wasn’t random, did not have a control group, the participants were self-selecting, etc. And the person running the study was a homosexual parent with a stake in the outcome.

Horse hockey.

Those 315 same sex parents couldn’t have been biased, could they?

Self selecting samples are never valid.

What, you mean they had to lie to find support for their lifestyle? Shocking.
