    Study suggests risks from same-sex parenting - Washington Times

    Mark Regnerus' study on gay parenting is hopelessly flawed - latimes.com


    If you read one link, and then the next, you will see what I mean when I say we have to be critical thinkers and not take any study or its results at face value.

    Unfortunately there are many people out there who are more interested in furthering their agenda than in being truthful or honest about what they have been able and unable to learn through scientific method.

    Whenever we read something that claims to be a scientific study, we have to consider - who is speaking, what are they trying to prove, what methods did they use and why would those be effective or ineffective - basically, just think it through for ourselves and always consider the source.
