Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is false. Multiple studies have shown that children raised by same-sex parents do not experience negative psychosocial outcomes any more than those raised by straight parents. In fact, the American Psychological Association has stated that "there is no scientific evidence that parenting effectiveness is related to parental sexual orientation: lesbian and gay parents are as likely as heterosexual parents to provide supportive and healthy environments for their children" (2005).
