The "studies" coming out of American universities that don't concern the hard sciences are bordering on fraudulent.

They have their end goal in mind (abortions are great, gays are great, multiculturialism is great, feminism is great, etc.) and then go on designing a flimsy survey study that "proves" it. The irony is that millenials are being enslaved by student loans which go to the departments that put out this tripe. They're getting bent over twice.

This is not true. America isn't Scandinavia, here we have a strong religious lobby, which is also VERY rich. There is a bunch Christian universities. Even if there weren't, the studies aren't that expensive, and if organizations like NOM can spend millions on anti-gay-marriage political ads, they could definitely afford $50K for a study. And they know they need those studies, as they played the vital role in several landmark court cases. So the opposition is definitely here, and it is definitely not underrepresented. But where are their studies?

Even if they didn't, those studies were published in peer-reviewed journals. Unless you believe ALL scientists are following the same political agenda, if the studies were rigged, other scientists would be quick to point the failures out. The scientific community is pretty good in self-moderating.

I have only one answer to that - they have done the studies (after all, they aren't idiots, they hire experienced political consultants for god's sake), and the studies showed the same result as the published studies. So they threw them away and never acknowledged them. And this is why they do not dispute the published studies.

Not to mention it doesn't really apply here, as no study said EVERY child who grew up with same-sex parents would do great. Some same-sex parents would be shitty parents, but this ain't different from the opposite-sex parents, some of whom would also be shitty parents.
