So I'm walking the evidence walk and not just talking the evidence talk: meta-analysis of studies shows same-sex parents are just as good, the American Psychiatric Association says that "Numerous studies over the last three decades consistently demonstrate that children raised by gay or lesbian parents exhibit the same level of emotional, cognitive, social, and sexual functioning as children raised by heterosexual parents" (and a more detailed review of research concludes that "Fears about children of lesbians and gay men being sexually abused by adults, ostracized by peers, or isolated in single-sex lesbian or gay communities have received no support from the results of existing research").
