The paper found that none of the 78 [National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study] adolescents reports having ever been physically or sexually abused by a parent or other caregiver. This contrasts with 26 percent of American adolescents who report parent or caregiver physical abuse and 8.3 percent who report sexual abuse.I can't wait for the religious right to desperately attempt to spin this into showing how everyone deserves a Mom and Dad, or that gays aren't fit parents, or that gays secretly want to turn children gay. Really, what can they say? The heterosexual abusers aren't True Christians? 2.8% homosexuality is still too much?
[...]On sexual orientation, 2.8 percent of the NLLFS adolescents identified as predominantly to exclusively homosexual.
...Oh wait, that's exactly the sort of stuff they're likely to say. I give it a day before a press release is out.
When are people going to realize it's better for children to be raised by adults who want them than by adults who can accidentally create them?
