Evidence for Gay Parenting
November 18, 2009 by James
First we had research by Abbie Goldberg of Clark University whose research found that in many ways gays and lesbians make better parents. Her research was published in the book, “Lesbian and Gay Parents and their Children.”
Now an article in the London Daily Mail agrees.
Stephen Scott is the director of research at the National Academy for Parenting Practitioners in Great Britain. He said, “Lesbians make better parents than a man and a woman.”
In 2007, a British gay adoption law made it illegal for agencies to refuse to work with gay and lesbian adoptive parents.
I made this video at the Gay Pride Parade in NY. In the audience and among the marchers were many parents. I can’t say that a person’s sexuality or gender have a competitive edge in parenting ability. What all growing people need is a compliment of nurturing.
Enjoy this video marathon. I found it very uplifting to see so much pride and joy.
