Read The Study That Focus On The Family Claims Says Gays Are Bad Parents
Focus on the Family attempted to peddle false testimony today in a Senate hearing on repealing DOMA, but Al Franken caught them — caught Tom Minnery to be exact. Here’s the study that Minnery referred to, and falsely claimed it showed same-sex couples were substandard parents. See page 27 for the most important part, labeled, “Conclusion,” that debunks Minnery’s allegations, by giving a definition of “nuclear family” that goes against what Focus on the Family would like it to be.
A search of the 176-page document shows no results for “homosexual,” “gay,” or “same-sex.”
