Dobson Flubs Facts on Same Sex Parenting

Focus on Family leader JamesDobson should spend a little less time focusing on everyone else's family and more time focusing on the facts.

In a Time column he cited the research of psychologists Carol Gilligan and Dr. Kyle Pruett and asserted that same sex parenting is harmful to children. The two psychologists are crying foul. Writes Gilligan:

My work in no way suggests same-gender families are harmful to children or can't raise these children to be as healthy and well adjusted as those brought up in traditional households.

Adds Pruett:

On page 134 of the book you site in your piece, I wrote, "What we do know is that there is no reason for concern about the development or psychological competence of children living with gay fathers. It is love that binds relationships, not sex."

But let's give the final word to Terrance, who is proud of to be the son of two fathers.
