November 21, 2005: Once again, the science is on our side. This is from Planet Out.

Teenagers raised by two moms develop as well as teens raised by opposite-sex parents, according to a groundbreaking new study published in the journal Child Development.

Researchers drew from a large U.S. sample of 12- to 18-year-olds, looking at measures of psychosocial well-being, romantic relationships and behavior in school. There were no significant differences between the two groups of teens in terms of depression, anxiety, sexual activity, self-esteem and school grades.

The study found that, as common sense would have it, “what is most important in a teen’s development is the quality of relationship with his or her parents, regardless of their gender.”

Message to homophobes: Duh, dummies.
