Oh, okay–so I looked at the other post and it sounds like the study showed that daughters are more likely to identify as lesbian or bisexual if raised by lesbian parents. I think I have seen that statistic before.

However, Warren you didn’t really comment on that in your post. I only saw it because you cut and pasted the title from the NARTH article that you don’t like. Did you have any comment in regards to the stats on the daughters?

Not sure what comments he failed to make .. He called the NARTH usage of it “slanted” and “selective” .. said that religous organizations are poorly served by NARTH .. quoted the reaearch paper itself as saying that the findings were specific to the study and that no general conclusions should be reached by it and pondered why NARTH would make general conclusions when the research itself said not to..

What I understood from his previous post that he objected to was that the reporting was selective–not that it was an inaccurate statement (daughters more likely . . .), but that NARTH failed to report other aspects that would contradict their mission-such as boys not being more likely to identify as gay with lesbian parents, etc. I wonder if there have been any similar studies on children of gay dads.

I like the point you’re making here, but I have a quibble with one statement:

If the absence of strong male role model generates same-sex attraction, the effect should show up in this sample.

The issue I have with this statement is the same issue I have in general with the “children need both a mother and a father” argument against same-sex marriage: It ignores the fact that parents are not the only role models available to youth. Aunts, uncles, grandparents, mentors, tutors, family friends, and a multitude of other individuals serve as role models for youth every day. Ignoring that fact strikes me as troublesome.
