The U.S. National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study (NLLFS), which followed the children of 154 lesbian mothers over 25 years, reported that our teens had fewer behavioral problems and better school performance than their peers with straight parents.

In fact, a recent survey by the Pew Research Center and commissioned by Time magazine found that most Americans' view of what constitutes a family is loosening. Three out of five people said they view a same-sex couple with kids as a family, too.

which will be first - full national gay marriage or marijuana decriminalization?

 

[Volst53]

Of course they have the desire to be parents.

I believe National Gay marriage.

i'm going with gay marriage. 10-15 years from now i bet those in favor will be a significant majority. the same can't be said for weed.

 

[lumberjack4]

Clearly they are destroying this country.

To many people make money from the Goverment fighting weed to ever see it legal.

The growers, dealers, cops, and lawyers.

alcohol lobbists would be against it too

This. Their kids are going to do better because on average they care more. Gays and lesbians aren't going to have kids by accident. It's a calculated decision and they desire the responsibility.

I think you will see a majority accept gay marriage long before marijuana legalization.

 

[volinbham]

all I'm saying is that I want to smoke weed at a gay wedding and your telling me that ain't gonna happen for a while

 

[Volst53]

Dirty Cops=a disgrace to the profession. It sickens me to no end.

I'm not saying cops are taking drug money, but weed gets most of the money on the war on drugs.

i imagine the straight couples knew they were being monitored as well.

Not in this country, sorry. Maybe next year big guy.

Yeah, I misread your post. My fault.

 

[Co. Aytch]

all I'm saying is that I want to take some peyote at a gay wedding while dancing to "She's A Lady". Guess that ain't gonna happen for a while

Sounds like a good time.

 

[volinbham]

Nothing really surprising in that article. Can't help but be somewhat skeptical of any study that at least appears to have a bias in what it wants it's results to be though.

I think the article mentions the bias and makes the point that the real finding is that kids raised in same-sex couples are not "screwed-up" as some have suggested they would be --- not that they are somehow superior.

the article rightfully points out that gays who have kids are far more likely to have wanted the kids and therefore be more commited as parents. i bet if you compare like parents you wouldn't see much of a difference.

Your skepticism, then, should be applied to every study ever.

 

[volinbham]

yep that's the point - good parents are good parents regardless of sexual orientation.
