“The longest-running study into lesbian parents in the United States has found that discrimination and not the sexual orientation of their parents harms children.”
Backing up every other well-designed and reputable study into the subject, the National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study (NLLFS) shows that the children of lesbian parents are happy, healthy and ‘high-functioning’.
The only handicaps faced by the children of same-sex parents are those created by outsiders who do not approve of their family structure.
And even the setbacks due to this prejudice, discrimination and homophobia can be overcome when the children live in communities and attend schools that are pro-actively accepting of diversity.
Those who claim they oppose lesbian parenting for the good of the children are in fact the ones causing any suffering the children experience.
“The NLLFS confirms the findings of over 40 other studies on the children of lesbian and gay parents, and supports the positions of all major professional associations on the well-being of children growing up in lesbian and gay families.”
Time for the opponents of same sex parenting to shut up and start working to overcome their prejudice – for the good of the children.
