The Gay Parenting Study THEY BURIEDHD

In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse examines the gay parenting research that was buried — including a peer-reviewed study reporting that children with same-sex married parents had over four times the rate of serious emotional problems compared with children raised by a married mother and father.

Dr. Morse walks through how an earlier “no differences” study was later reanalyzed, why the biological parenthood variable matters, and how corrections to the data changed the results.

She also explains the important uncovering research by Fr. Paul Sullins and why families deserve honest answers about same-sex parenting, children’s emotional well-being, and the long-term consequences of redefining marriage.

The science about same-sex parenting is not nearly as settled as you’ve been led to believe.
