Michi, it’s possible to check. It’s not rocket science to go into Google Scholar and search, look through citations in the studies you found in order to find additional studies, and so on. That could ease your suspicion or strengthen it into a case against these studies. Why not do that?

I was actually curious about this issue, and I invested time in looking into various findings on the matter. As expected, most studies claim that same-sex parenting has no effect on children, and if there is an effect then it’s דווקא for the better—an odd result in a suspicious way—but there are also many studies that claim otherwise.

What’s interesting is that I found two studies that examined the studies: one argues that most of the studies that found no negative effect were conducted unprofessionally, while the other argues that they were. The first study was published in 2002 and the second in 2017. Is there a connection between the date and the conclusion? An interesting question…

Yitzhak, I’d be happy if you shared with all of us the studies you found. Links to the studies would make all of us much better informed.

What does the scholarly research say about the well-being of children with gay or lesbian parents?

To Yitzhak: That’s not odd at all; it’s actually very logical. A same-sex couple has to invest a huge amount of effort, money, and determination in order to become parents, unlike heterosexual couples who just have children without thinking much about it (and sometimes without thinking at all). In other words, same-sex parents as a rule come to parenthood much more prepared and with a much stronger desire to raise a child than many heterosexual parents. That’s why the studies show that they tend to be better parents.
