Dear The Gays: Does someone have citations to all those studies showing that children of gay couples do just as well as children of straight couples?

There have been a few, right?

    There was recently one in the Journal of Pediatrics that concluded with the children of lesbians (under specific circumstances) are better adjusted than those of similar heterosexual couples.

    There is a link to the PDF of the study.

    I can most definitely give my own anecdotal experience, as I actually have both. My mother lived with her girlfriend until I was about 11, at which time, she lost her mind and decided she'd never actually been gay, and married the first man who came near her.

    Given that admittedly-limited sample size, I can assure you the children of gay parents are much happier, healthier, and more prosperous than the children of heterosexual child-molesting drunks.

    depends on what criteria you're basing "do just as well as"...?

    Living / being healthy?
    Staying in school?
    Keeping out of jail?
    % Being gay?
