New 2012 study by Mark Regnerus sociology professor at the University of Texas A new study conducted by Mark Regnerus an associate professor of sociology at the University of Texas has revealed among other things that 40 of children aged 18 to 39 whose parents are homosexual have had an affair while married or cohabiting compared to only 13 of children from heterosexual families It also showed that 23 of children whose parents are lesbian or gay have been touched sexually by a parent or an adult compared to 2 of children from heterosexual families and that 31 of them have had sex against their will compared to 8 from heterosexual families The study stresses however that it would be wrong to conclude from its data that the abuser was necessarily one of the parents or that the abuse had anything to do with the parent s sexual orientation The study also shows that 12 of those with lesbian parents and 24 of those with homosexual fathers have considered suicide compared to 5 of those from heterosexual families Children with homosexual parents are also more than twice as likely to be in therapy for a problem connected with anxiety depression or relationships 19 of children compared to 8 of children from heterosexual families Furthermore 20 of children with lesbian parents and 25 of children with homosexual fathers have had a sexually transmitted disease compared to 8 of children from heterosexual families 28 of children with lesbian parents and 20 of children with homosexual fathers are currently unemployed compared to 8 of children from heterosexual families Adult children with homosexual parents are also more likely to smoke marijuana and to get arrested Due to the findings it is very controversial and that is why my edit here and here has been undone simply because another user disagreed and claimed the study is widely criticized and flawed Criticized by whom It is a new study nobody had yet written an article debunking it Flawed according to whom Your personal opinion That is not a reason to vandalise the article and undo my edit The study is published and available here The fact that this is not allowed on the article prior a discussion is unfair What difference does it make They are findings from a study how could a talk about it make any difference Do we have to come to an agreement to put this information into the article itself And if we don t we will just ignore it and purposely leave the study out of the article because somebody s opinion about it disagrees This is not objective and completely unprofessional not to mention biased This is nothing more than intentionally leaving a study out of the article because somebody disagrees with the findings There is no valid honest objective reason to remove this information from the article yet I was forced to open a talk about it because of no other reason than somebody not liking the results of the study This is unacceptable yet here I am anyway opening a talk about it So what is there to discuss Your opinion disagreeing with the results That is not a reason and is completely subjective In other words it is irrelevant There is absolutely nothing to talk about
