Got this from Bigoats a createdebater so all credit goes to him

Latest research shows the fallacy of the widespread claims about "children raised in gay families statistically are no worse off than those raised in traditional families".

This "information" is usually backed by the corrupt APA (American Psychological Association). However, a detailed investigation has shown that out of 59 studies sited by APA in support of this claim, only 4 meet the APA's own standard:

Loren Marks, "Same-sex parenting and children's outcomes: A closer examination of the American Psychological Association's brief on lesbian and gay parenting," Social Science Research Vol 41, Issue 4 (July 2012), pp. 735-751;

As documented by Lorens Marks, "[N]ot one of the 59 studies referenced in the 2005 APA Brief compares a large, random, representative sample of lesbian or gay parents and their children with a large, random, representative sample of married parents and their children." Therefore, not one of these studies contains scientific proof of the claims made.

Mark Regnerus, a sociologist from the University of Texas, has recently conducted a careful, rigorous, and scientifically sound study, which was free of the methodological flaws found in preceding research.

Mark Regnerus, "How different are the adult children of parents who have same-sex relationships? Findings from the New Family Structures Study," Social Science Research Vol 41, Issue 4 (July 2012).

Below are some of the most important findings:

Compared with children raised by their married biological parents (IBF), children of homosexual parents (LM and GF):

•Are much more likely to have received welfare (IBF 17%; LM 69%; GF 57%)

•Have lower educational attainment

•Report less safety and security in their family of origin

•Report more ongoing "negative impact" from their family of origin

•Are more likely to suffer from depression

•Have been arrested more often

•If they are female, have had more sexual partners--both male and female

Children of lesbian mothers:

•Are more likely to be currently cohabiting

•Are almost 4 times more likely to be currently on public assistance

•Are less likely to be currently employed full-time

•Are more than 3 times more likely to be unemployed

•Are nearly 4 times more likely to identify as something other than entirely heterosexual

•Are 3 times as likely to have had an affair while married or cohabiting

•Are an astonishing 10 times more likely to have been "touched sexually by a parent or other adult caregiver."

•Are nearly 4 times as likely to have been "physically forced" to have sex against their will

•Are more likely to have "attachment" problems related to the ability to depend on others

•Use marijuana more frequently

•Smoke more frequently

•Watch TV for long periods more frequently

•Have more often pled guilty to a non-minor offense

The most shocking and troubling outcomes, however, are those related to sexual abuse. Children raised by a lesbian mother were 10 times more likely to have been "touched sexually by a parent or other adult caregiver" (23% reported this, vs. only 2% for children of married biological parents), while those raised by a homosexual father were 3 times more likely (reported by 6%). In his text, but not in his charts, Regnerus breaks out these figures for only female victims, and the ratios remain similar (3% IBF; 31% LM; 10% GF). As to the question of whether you have "ever been physically forced" to have sex against your will (not necessarily in childhood), affirmative answers came from 8% of children of married biological parents, 31% of children of lesbian mothers (nearly 4 times as many), and 25% of the children of homosexual fathers (3 times as many). Again, when Regnerus breaks these figures out for females (who are more likely to be victims of sexual abuse in general), such abuse was reported by 14% of IBFs, but 3 times as many of the LMs (46%) and GFs (52%).

The articles by Marks and Regnerus have completely changed the playing field for debates about homosexual parents, "gay families," and same-sex "marriage." The myths that children of homosexual parents are "no different" from other children and suffer "no harm" from being raised by homosexual parents have been shattered forever.

The solution is to ban all pornography as it leads to lust (please see Matthew 5:28) and masturbation.

Children can look up pornography and other things which has horrible effects on children.

The government has responsibility for all of us. They are our watchful protector.

But think about the children they could see stuff that they shouldn't be seeing at that young age.

Downvoted without an explaination? Well hope someone gives one.

Also gay couples sexually abuse children far more often than straights.

Like there is a lot of bad stuff on the internet that shouldn't be seen by children.

It would be for the safety of the children to protect them.

I do but they should be checked closer as they are known to commonly sexually abuse children. (1) and should always be closed monitored by the government for abuse.
