It is claimed by many that children raised in same-sex homes are no different in terms of outcomes than children raised in heterosexual homes. There are many reasons to question this conclusion which we address in other reports.
However, one important reason is what the research reveals about how the sexual orientation and identification of children differs significantly between those raised by same-sex and heterosexual parents.
Only a few published studies have examined this question and nearly all examine only lesbian-headed families.
These studies consistently show a markedly greater likelihood of children raised by same-sex parents to identify with and experience same-sex or bi-sexual contact than children raised in heterosexual homes.
