Jjang 2,262 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Children raised by same-s-x couples have better health and well-being in comparison to their peers, according to a groundbreaking new study which is being billed as the largest of its kind. Conducted by Australia's University of Melbourne, the new research aimed to "describe the physical, mental and social wellbeing" of children with gay and lesbian parents, and "the impact that stigma has on them." On average, children raised by same-s-x couples scored six percent higher than the general population when it came to general health and family cohesion. The study comprised input from 500 children and 315 parents who are in same-s-x relationships, and seemed mostly in line with previous research. Earlier this year, a Williams Institute report found that children of lesbians reported having higher self-esteem and lower conduct problems than those of heteros-xual couples.

honza 2,194 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Well you won't probably see gay couples with children they didn't plan or want, it's harder for them to have children. The same I'd say with straight couples that can't have their own children. But go gays anyway yaaay Come along with me and the butterflies and bees Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knife 7,079 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Straight people set the parenting bar pretty low; If I had a choice, I'd rather be raised by wild animals than straight people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didymus 34,380 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 That's very interesting. Obviously it needs more research (what are the parameters for happiness and health btw), but it could be a very groundbreaking result indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
