The pro-marriage Ruth Institute in the US has linked to an interesting article on the issue of same-sex marriage and children in which, among other things, the author dissects the studies purporting to show that children raised by gay and lesbian couples do just as well as those raised by mothers and fathers.

The author, a medical doctor, argues that same-sex marriage is not in the best interests of children, and cites a range of evidence to back this point up.

He also points out the serious flaws in research advanced to “prove” that children raised by same-sex couples fare as well as children raised within traditional marriage. The article is well worth your time.
