Research has shown that children raised by same-sex parents are just as likely to develop a healthy gender identity and be cognitively, emotionally, and morally mature as those raised by opposite-sex parents. Additionally, there is no evidence to suggest that these children are more likely to exhibit gender intensification during adolescence or have a stronger preference for same-sex playmates. Marilyn's upbringing in a warm and loving home environment with supportive parenting from both Joyce and Shane would suggest positive developmental outcomes for her compared to her peers.
