Kids of gays suffer


While homosexual adoption has not been permitted for long enough to analyze the results, there are studies of children raised by gay couples, one of whom is the child's natural parent and the other is that parent's same-sex lover. One of the largest of such studies  is Simon Fraser University's economist Douglas Allen's "High school graduation rates among children of same-sex households," published in the December 2013 issue of the Review of Economics of the Household. Based on Canadian census data, the study showed that 33 % fewer children raised by same-sex couples graduated from high school than did the children raised by different-sex couples.
While there are more than 40 other North American studies showing no difference in outcomes from the two sets of parents, scholars such as Allen claim that these have seriously flawed methodologies, especially in the selection of the parents surveyed.
