The
American Sociological Association has submitted a brief to the Supreme
Court dismantling a high-profile study that found that the children of gays and lesbians suffer adverse effects.
"The Regnerus study obscures
the fact that it did not specifically examine children raised by two
same-sex parents. Accordingly, it cannot speak to the impact of same-sex
parenting on child outcomes," the brief said. The study has been used
to support Proposition 8.
