"As It Turns Out, It Does Make a Difference"
Doug Mainwaring recently wrote about this on the American Thinker website:
"Because the sample base for the Allen study was extremely large, data for gay and lesbian couple households could be examined separately. The research is revealing, offering new insights. Among them, children of gay parents are estimated to be 69% as likely to graduate compared to children from opposite-sex married homes. Children in lesbian households are 60% as likely to graduate from high school.
Perhaps most startling are the findings regarding the gender of the children and their graduation outcomes, which vary wildly based on whether they were raised in gay vs. lesbian households. Daughters raised by gay men are only 15% as likely to graduate, while daughters of lesbian parents are 45% as likely to graduate. Interestingly, sons of lesbian parents are 76% as likely to graduate, while boys raised by gay men are 61% more likely to graduate than those raised by lesbians."
