I went and did some more research on this issue. I'm questioning Dr. Schumm's objectivity. He was a witness for the plaintiffs in the recent Appeals court case in Florida on their gay adoption ban, which was overturned. He argued that gay parents should be determined by the courts on a case by case basis. His research methods also sound suspect.
The fact that he keeps standing up for Paul Cameron is also troubling. Paul Cameron is one of the most virulently anti gay people in the country by any measure, and only the Westboro Baptist Church takes any of his unpublished research seriously.
I will have to wait until Schumm's research has been published and is subject to peer review, but I'm skeptical of his statistical methods and agenda.
I agree. Anyone that supports Cameron... someone who was tossed out of the APA for both misrepresenting and misinterpreting research, and for refusing to cooperate with an investigation, has a credibility problem. Cameron's "research" on this issue has been disregarded as bunk, so referring to it makes your own research look faulty.
