   The quality of University of Texas professor Mark Regnerus’ study
   highlights the deficiencies of previous studies that homosexual advocates
   have relied on to grant same-sex couples a right to marry and adopt
   children.

   "The empirical claim that no notable differences exist must go," said
   Regnerus in his study published in Social Science Research.

   Regnerus’ comprehensive study examines nearly 3,000 adult children from
   eight different family structures and evaluates them within 40 social and
   emotional categories. The results reveal that children who remain with
   intact biological families were better educated, experienced greater mental
   and physical health, less drug experimentation, less criminal activity and
   reported overall higher levels of happiness.

   The greatest negative outcomes were found among children of lesbian
   mothers. This contradicts defective studies popularized by the media
   claiming children fare as well, or better, with lesbian mothers. Regnerus’
   study showed negative outcomes for these adult children in 25 of 40
   categories including far higher rates of sexual assault (23% of children
   with lesbian mothers were touched sexually by a parent or adult, in
   contrast to 2% raised by married parents), poorer physical health,
   increased depression, increased marijuana use and higher unemployment (69%
   of children from lesbian households were on welfare, compared to 17% of
   those with married parents).

   Regnerus’ study debunks an often-cited 2005 American Psychological
   Association (APA) brief that concluded, “[n]ot a single study has found
   children of lesbian or gay parents to be disadvantaged in any significant
   respect relative to children of heterosexual parents."
