Kids of Gay Parents at Bigger Risk of ‘Emotional Problems’ Than Children of Opposite-Sex Parents

I am happy kids are getting a home no matter what sexes are raising the child. And support any devoted couple willing to do such a thing. But it does show children in general need a mother and father for a child to have a more stable life to adulthood.

A recently released study examining the emotional well-being children found that kids with same-sex parents experienced “more distress” than their peers who have a mother and a father, according to the Christian Post.

The study, which examined 207,007 children and included 512 kids with gay parents, was conducted by sociologist and Catholic priest Donald Sullins of Catholic University of America and published in the “British Journal of Education, Society & Behavioral Science” this month.

The title of the article, “Emotional Problems among Children with Same-Sex Parents: Difference by Definition,” hints at Sullins’ findings, which were briefly highlighted in the paper’s abstract.

The goal of his inquiry was: ”To test whether small non-random sample findings that children with same-sex parents suffer no disadvantage in emotional well-being can be replicated in a large population sample; and examine the correlates of any differences discovered.”

Sullins took data from the U.S. National Health Interview Survey and looked at 12 different measures related to emotional and developmental problems “and affiliated service and treatment usage,” controlling for sex, race, age and income and education of the parent.

While he concluded that more work is needed to further explore the mechanisms involved in his findings, Sullins reported seeing greater emotional problems among the children of parents in same-sex arrangements. Here’s how the abstract summarizes the results:

Emotional problems were over twice as prevalent (minimum risk ratio (RR) 2.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.7-3.0) for children with same-sex parents than for children with opposite-sex parents. Risk was elevated in the presence of parent psychological distress (RR 2.7, CI 1.8-4.3, p (t) < .001), moderated by family instability (RR 1.3, CI 1.2-1.4) and unaffected by stigmatization (RR 2.4, CI 1.4-4.2), though these all had significant direct effects on emotional problems. However, biological parentage nullified risk alone and in combination with any iteration of factors. Joint biological parents are associated with the lowest rate of child emotional problems by a factor of 4 relative to same-sex parents, accounting for the bulk of the overall same-sex/opposite-sex difference.

See the word in bold? Need I say anymore about this bogus study?

Correlation does not imply causation. Besides, that article is kinda... lying. He studied 207,007 children. Were all of their parents gay? Guess what, no. 512 had homosexual parents. Additionally, one of the main reasons for their emotional problems is tagged as child peer stigmatization. Effectively, bullying.

So if you want to pull some stuff out of your ass, here's the way it goes for me. Kids with gay parents get bullied for having gay parents, resulting in them feeling bad. The reason they are bullied is because children are bastards and latch onto just about anything to pick on someone. That, or their own parents are teaching homophobia, which is equally likely based on how much of America is hateful and cruel towards things or people that are 'different'.

I would say the door swings both ways in either scenario.

If the child is loved and raised right by either set of parents, being gay or straight. Than I would say a good up bringing has the same result.

But if either set abuses or sexually abuses the child, than both are bad depending on the people raising that child.

Like I said though. The door swings both ways and each to their own.

Should someone do a study on parenting by race, or would that be going too far?

It only means that a society that is unaccepting of others is the cause.  What makes gay people any different than straight people other than their sexual preference?  When you try to raise a child as a person being discriminated against, then yes there are going to be more issues but only because the world they live in is ignorant and prejudice, not because a man and a man or a woman and a woman are inherently less effective as a couple than a man and a woman.

I know from experience just being raised by a straight couple that they have made many mistakes and hurry each other and us.  This was not because of their genders.

Sure why not? I would be interested in the results.



Kids do best with a stable father and mother in a family and this shows it clearly. And if people want to live in some fantasy world to deny what is best for children then our decline as nation will continue. But again obviously children need homes and more then happy to support stable gay couples from adopting children.

Then nature should have skipped producing either a male or female for raising humans. Children need that balance of a female and male in there lives. Just look at our declining society and all the moms raising there kids without a dad to see how true it is.
