Publisher's Synopsis
No Differences? How Children in Same-Sex Households Fare is an anthology of scholarly papers examining the latest data and scholarly literature on the social well-being of children raised in same-sex households. In 2005, the American Psychological Association (APA) declared that there was "not a single study" showing that children of gay or lesbian parents were disadvantaged compared to children from mother-father homes. This declaration became a milestone in the dramatic and unprecedented shift of popular opinion on same-sex parenting. This anthology presents social science research essays that strongly challenge the APA claim and provide evidence for the opposite claim, that children do best in married mother-father. homes.
