Or, alternative title: Adult children of lesbian parents less likely to feel pressured to identify as straight when they're actually homosexual.

I have family members and friends who are lesbian couples. None of their children are homosexual nor do they identify as such. I have lots of friends and family members who are straight who have homosexual children. The sexual orientation of the parents obviously plays very little into how the children identify. I imagine EVERYONE has similar experience.

can you name this study?
"The study employs the National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study (NLLFS)" authored by Nanette Gartrell but that isn't the study the article is talking about.

Give it any name you like, or are you stating the study does not exist?

Christians are in no position to point fingers given the rampant addiction to inappropriate contentography in the pulpit and congregation. Not to mention the plethora of sex scandals we’ve endured.

I think studies are much more an accurate measure than just stating you know people.

Well the article you linked to talks about some unnamed study "The study employs the National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study (NLLFS)" authored by Nanette Gartrell

So what does the Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study (NLLFS) have to say on the topic? It says that as adults the children raises by lesbian parents are no more and no less likely to identify as homosexual

Are you saying that is not reason to speak the truth?

We've arrived at the point in our society where the needs or rights of the people seeking to adopt are given precedence over what's best for the children.

Not if you’re cherry picking. If you can’t address homosexuality across the board and limit your focus to gays with children while ignoring the same from Christian homes that’s hypocritical.

If you don’t blame Christians for wayward children don’t do the same to others.

Such a pity that some evangelicals want to be loved by the world more than wanting truth.

whats best for children would be adoption agencies that screen potential parents based on the merits of those parents and not reject out of hand reject potential parents based on whether or not they happen to be members of a minority

Okay. That doesn't have anything to do with my post, but you can make that point if you wish.

There is a critical shortage of foster parents. Adding to the qualified pool of adoptive parents can only be a good thing.

It wasn't that long ago that it was scandalous for a couple to want to adopt outside their own ethnicity.
