Homosexual parenting claims hotly contested by Kiwi
The University of Melbourne logo (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) A New Zealand pro-life commentator has blasted the methodology and findings of an Australian sociological study that found that children with homosexual, bisexual or lesbian parents are happier and healthier than kids from the average family. Writing on his Leading Edge blog on July 22, Brendan Malone stated that the Australian Study of Child Health in Same-Sex Families, out of the University of Melbourne , was “ideologically motivated”. The preliminary findings of the study were listed in an article in the Sunday Star Times in New Zealand on July 21. The lead researcher was Dr Simon Crouch, a homosexual man with four-year-old twin boys. The study collected data on the physical, mental and social wellbeing of 500 children aged 5 to 17, from 315 homosexual, lesbian and bisexual parents. Children from same-sex couples scored better than the national average for Australia in general health and family cohesion measures. T
