Promoting the Well-Being of Children Whose Parents Are Gay or Lesbian
ABSTRACT
- Ellen C. Perrin, MD, MA,
- Benjamin S. Siegel, MD,
- the COMMITTEE ON PSYCHOSOCIAL ASPECTS OF CHILD AND FAMILY HEALTH
Extensive data available from more than 30 years of research reveal that children raised by gay and lesbian parents have demonstrated resilience with regard to social, psychological, and sexual health despite economic and legal disparities and social stigma. Many studies have demonstrated that children's well-being is affected much more by their relationships with their parents, their parents' sense of competence and security, and the presence of social and economic support for the family than by the gender or the sexual orientation of their parents. Lack of opportunity for same-gender couples to marry adds to families’ stress, which affects the health and welfare of all household members. Because marriage strengthens families and, in so doing, benefits children’s development, children should not be deprived of the opportunity for their parents to be married. Paths to parenthood that include assisted reproductive techniques, adoption, and foster parenting should focus on competency of the parents rather than their sexual orientation.
Post the study, not the Abstract, an Abstract is nothing more than Hersey, inadmissible. The Abstract is gossip.
Take this idea presented in the abstract,
children raised by gay and lesbian parents have demonstrated resilience with regard to social, psychological, and sexual health despite economic and legal disparities and social stigma
What is the basis for this, "Opinion", there is no facts nor data included in the abstract, abstracts are statements of opinion, without access to the study. Only by reading a study can we determine if the abstract is fact or conjecture. .
"Social stigma", is the most important phrase in the abstract.It is a problem caused by bigoted religious heterosexual parents, it is us Heterosexuals who have created the problem, not the homosexuals.
It is the Heterosexual children who must be re-programmed through "education", to counter the bigotry of the parents which caused the Social Stigma.
It is already happening in California, new laws, lawyers, and lawsuits, millions of books to be burned and replaced, profits to be made.
Which do you think is more harmful to a child's well-being? Having gay parents who, obviously, thought carefully before having them.....or being raised by your parents to hate and fear people different than yourself in some way?
