I already did, but apparently you want more? Okay...Regnerus:
In attendance were scholars such as Mark Regnerus, a sociologist who sparked controversy after he published a 2012 journal article funded by religious conservatives arguing that children of same-sex parents fared worse than otherseven though he never studied children of same-sex parents. Regnerus study was condemned in a letter by 200 scholarly peers and his own university department issued a stern rebuke calling the study fundamentally flawed on conceptual and methodological grounds. An internal audit found serious flaws and distortions and concluded the paper never should have been published.

Cameron:
On December 2, 1983, the American Psychological Association sent Paul Cameron a letter informing him that he had been dropped from membership. Early in 1984, all members of the American Psychological Association received official written notice that "Paul Cameron (Nebraska) was dropped from membership for a violation of the Preamble to the Ethical Principles of Psychologists" by the APA Board of Directors.5 Cameron has posted an elaborate argument about his expulsion from APA on his website, claiming that he resigned from APA before he was dropped from membership. Like most organizations, however, APA does not allow a member to resign when they are being investigated. And even if Cameron's claims were accepted as true, it would be remarkable that the largest professional organization of psychologists in the United States (and other professional associations, as noted below) went to such lengths to disassociate itself from one individual.
At its membership meeting on October 19, 1984, the Nebraska Psychological Association adopted a resolution stating that it "formally disassociates itself from the representations and interpretations of scientific literature offered by Dr. Paul Cameron in his writings and public statements on sexuality."6
In 1985, the American Sociological Association (ASA) adopted a resolution which asserted that "Dr. Paul Cameron has consistently misinterpreted and misrepresented sociological research on sexuality, homosexuality, and lesbianism" and noted that "Dr. Paul Cameron has repeatedly campaigned for the abrogation of the civil rights of lesbians and gay men, substantiating his call on the basis of his distorted interpretation of this research."7 The resolution formally charged an ASA committee with the task of "critically evaluating and publicly responding to the work of Dr. Paul Cameron."
At its August, 1986 meeting, the ASA officially accepted the committee's report and passed the following resolution:
The American Sociological Association officially and publicly states that Paul Cameron is not a sociologist, and condemns his consistent misrepresentation of sociological research. Information on this action and a copy of the report by the Committee on the Status of Homosexuals in Sociology, "The Paul Cameron Case," is to be published in Footnotes, and be sent to the officers of all regional and state sociological associations and to the Canadian Sociological Association with a request that they alert their members to Cameron's frequent lecture and media appearances."8
In August, 1996, the Canadian Psychological Association adopted the following policy statement:
The Canadian Psychological Association takes the position that Dr. Paul Cameron has consistently misinterpreted and misrepresented research on sexuality, homosexuality, and lesbianism and thus, it formally disassociates itself from the representation and interpretations of scientific literature in his writings and public statements on sexuality.
Paul Cameron Bio and Fact Sheet
You can't debunk the Regnerus work , so you try to deflect by linking him to Paul Cameron ?
TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE - I am not that familiar with Cameron, and don't wish to become so - you are attempting to "frame"the debate and deflect with somewhat off-topic sub issues . The Link you would want to adress would be the Regnerus study - NOT CAMERON - .
I also notice you neglected or refused to adress any of the content of the studies, either youare incapable of it - orcan't do so because it destroys your stance. At issue are Evelyn Hooker, Alfred Kinsey and Mark Regnerus and their studies . Try again - Paul Cameron is a ppropagandist not a researcher and I hold him in as much disdain as the Gay propagandists who have infiltrated the scientific and journalistic communities.
As far as being fundamentally flawed - Nonsense - it was done at standards that make Hooker and Kinsey turn over in their graves. The UNiversity initially defended him, only after three years of intense , persistent and unabated political pressure and underhanded harassment did it finally distance itself from his studies.
Regnerus's work was debunked by the Michigan court...amoung others. Here's the link AGAIN:
