More than 99% of the children of "gay" parents in the study were actually children of heterosexual parents and continued to live with their heterosexual parent after their other parent came out of the closet and left the household.<br /><br />This data provides meaningful information about the state of LGBT rights in society--where lots of gay people are coaxed into heterosexual relationships only to have them fall apart years later with negative consequences on the children. But there is nothing in the paper about "gay parenting"--nearly all of the parenting is done by the heterosexual parent. Regnerus's paper itself is honest about this, but in retrospect the referees should have insisted that he make this much more explicit for non-scientists who would inevitably want to use the paper to direct social policy.<br /><br />I personally do not believe that Regnerus actually falsified the data or his statistical results, (though there is an investigation underway) he just hasn't been forthright about what he actually did and did not show in that paper.Matthew Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10254244795963585737noreply@blogger.com
