In 2005, a brief was presented by the
American Psychological Association which claimed that “not a single study has
found children of gay parents to be disadvantaged in any significant respect… (Marks)”
Can this possibly be true? Many children today are raised by gay or lesbian
parents and others are fighting for this privilege. Such children have argued
that they are no different than children raised by couples of the same-gender;
however we have solid reasoning to believe that children raised by same gender
couples will experience negative effects.
