Is same-sex parenting the same as opposite-sex?

A newly-released sociological study, about to be celebrated in the media, supposedly says Yes.

But the keen sociologist Mark Regnerus, looking more closely at this study, says No.

Here is a sample of Regnerus’ analysis:

“Here’s what the new study claims: ‘No differences were observed between household types on family relationships or any child outcomes.’

“Here’s what the study actually signals (and it didn’t take a PhD to see it): female same-sex parents report more anger, irritation, and comparative frustration with their (apparently misbehaving) children than do opposite-sex parents.”

“The authors even make overtures toward blaming the absent father for the irritation female same-sex parents feel at their children’s behavior. They don’t cite his absence, though. (That cannot matter, right?) Rather, they question his unknown genes and their possible influence on their child’s behavior.”
