Flawed Study Does Not Show Children of Homosex Parents Better Off
Katrina Trinko writes at the Daily Signal:
There’s been no shortage of media coverage of a new study that purportedly shows that children raised by same-sex partners fare better than other children.
"Children of same-sex couples are happier and healthier than peers, research shows," was the headline of a Washington Post story. "Largest-ever study of same-sex couples' kids finds they’re better off than other children," proclaimed Vox, while NBCNews.com announced, "Children of Same-Sex Parents Are Healthier: Study."
But the actual study is a little more, well, complicated.
Or as University of Texas professor Mark Regernus put it, because of flaws in the study, "we simply cannot know whether claims like . . . 'happier and healthier' are true, valid, and on target."
