That's hilarious! Anyway, you don't need a sock to agree with you about evolution even the Vatican agrees with you about evolution. Although as we know, .va isn't a Catholic website.

The article does, which was what I was discussing as presented in the OP.
My 'observations' were limited to an observation that there could have been some bias and insufficient sample size as suggested by the article that was posted.
It was you that ran off half cocked
about the study, which was not presented and about which I made one observation about the author of the study being Catholic.
Ergo my observation that the author was Catholic was not based on ignorance, butt on the evidence given.
Everything else is in your mind.
You clearly did not examine the evidence of the words in my post to back your claims.

I disagree, the study clearly admits that it concludes nothing:
Interpretation of these limited small-sample findings is necessarily speculative.
the very small size of the sample of children raised by lesbians imposes important limits and prompts great caution regarding the conclusions of this study. As with all observational studies, causal inference is not possible.
In particular, the lack of useful measures for parent mental distress, depression, family history of violence, alcohol consumption, and substance abuse precluded examination of important familial risk factors which may be associated with child distress. For these reasons, the findings of this study should be considered only provisional and exploratory until and unless they are confirmed by further research.
I am writing this under appreciable mental strain -

How do you feel about the studies own admission that the sample size was so small and the unaccounted for factors so prevalent that nothing could be reasonably drawn from the study in terms of actual conclusions?

The gay advocates sure are quiet now. hmm.
I guess they can't claim there's "no difference" between same sex parents and opposite sex parents anymore. The facts say everything.
I have no interest in refraining from my dishonesty and stupidity.

There's simply no way the website that gave us "Birth control makes women unattractive and crazy" and "Media strangely silent on Hillary's health" would present a skewed anything.
Jezebel, Breitbart, Motherjones, The Blaze, Slate - these are just where thinking people get their news!

Let's compare their discussion/conclusion of that study to some of what's been said in this thread. Them:
Interpretation of these limited small-sample findings is necessarily speculative the very small size of the sample of children raised by lesbians imposes important limits and prompts great caution regarding the conclusions of this study. As with all observational studies, causal inference is not possible. Moreover, many subtle distinctions and pathways of influence simply cannot be addressed with only 20 cases, and unobserved differences between the parent comparison groups may well confound some or all of the child differences observed For these reasons, the findings of this study should be considered only provisional and exploratory until and unless they are confirmed by further research.
As initial results, the present findings should be interpreted with caution and balance, based on the limited evidence presented, and (it is hoped) neither exaggerated nor dismissed out of hand on preconceived ideological grounds.
You:
I guess they can't claim there's "no difference" between same sex parents and opposite sex parents anymore. The facts say everything.
Because children need a mother and father. It's a fact.
Jose:
Making a child grow up without a male and female role model is inherently abusive. Science. So even "good" gay parents are not good parents.
Hmmm, I'm detecting a substantial difference here.

The difference between scientific studies and the people who rely on them to push an agenda - a truly scientific study has no agenda.
