Self-reporting survey of gays claims their kids are identical to heterosexuals

This is an article that appears in the SMH and AGE. You check the studies that are being quoted by the author Deb Dempsey and you note straight away that all these studies are "self reporting" surveys where the participants are not compared, to general non- homosexual data, nor is the collection of data being done by a third party. They do acknowledge this issue in a highlighted box, quoting several researchers who have questioned this method but then, the authors moves on and simply ignores it.  The journalist believes what she is fed.  So there is no surprise here in this false report. You look closer again at the background, books, articles, symposiums attended, presentations of the author of the AIFS, and you see the problem of lack of neutrality on this topic.  the AIFS statement is skewed. ..................................................................................................... Children raised by same-sex parents fare just as well in their education
