New Study Driving Bible Bangers Crazy-Same Sex Parents Raise Healthier Kids
Read Time:1 Minute, 24 Second
The Bible Bangers will have you believe that through their holy, born again guidance their children are the best of the best in all respects, with children from same sex parents being the devil’s spawn. Well, according to a new Australian study kids with same-sex parents have greater “general health and family cohesion” than most people because they’re less influenced by gender stereotypes.
Researchers at the University of Melbourne in Australia surveyed 315 same-sex parents, the majority of them lesbians, and found a 6% higher level of health and cohesion than in the general population, Raw Story reports. “That’s really a measure that looks at how well families get along,” says lead researcher Simon Crouch. He pointed to previous research that same-sex households distribute home and work roles “more equitably” than straight households:
- “What this means is that people take on roles that are suited to their skill sets rather than falling into those gender stereotypes, which is mum staying home and looking after the kids and dad going out to earn money,” he says.
But Roslyn Phillips at Family Voice Australia, down under’s version of America’s fanatic religious American Family Association, downplayed the study, saying she “wasn’t surprised” the parents “all thought their children were doing well,” and argued that a more effective study would look at the grown-up children of same-sex couples, ABC News Australia reports. She also noted that Crouch is raising two children himself with a gay partner. But Crouch responded that he’s primarily a doctor and researcher whose “objectivity … doesn’t depend on my own personal situation.”

No study or research that doesn’t agree with what the religious reich wants to believe will have any effect on them. Remember, for them, research is starting with a conclusion and discarding anything that does not support that conclusion.
