Consistancy is one thing but virtually identical results is something else. here, contrast the results of your studies with these concerning the length of homosexual relationships. These are very similar findings from different studies, but there are variances among them. That is exactly what one expects from different studies from different researchers in differents countries. One would expect to see variations in studies especially those concerning human behavior. I'm not getting that from many of your studies or the ones I'm familiar with. Just why is that and just why aren't you concerned about that too?
I would be if there were major methodological flaws. There aren't from what I see. One can expect similar results with minimal variance if a hypothesis is correct. This repeatablity indicates validity. It seems to me that the only reason you are questioning this is because it proves your position incorrect.
Irrelevant. Find me a study that compares gays who are married to straights who are married and then we can talk,
I'd say the vast majority. You understand that point too. Yet for some reason you don't see a problem. and this after making the same point in an earlier article I offered concerning gays in large cities.
I don't see a huge issue with this. Firstly, because the studies that DO look at gay men show similar results. And secondly, because if the issue is concerns about single sex parenting, the studies address that.
Once again, I don't as yet have those links. I agree further research is seriously needed but some of these issues already constitute red flags for sceptics such as myself.
I'd go FAR beyond the word "skeptic" to describe your concerns.
Gosh, not according to this article from slate.

And slate proves me right. I do not believe that any of the studies I presented are from the 1980's... which were the ones that slate indicated were problematic because of divorce. So, again, you are incorrect.
Well, is this "fact" or "opinion" on your part. If it is a "fact" shouldn't you provide something to support your position or am I to simply accept it as fact......because you say it's so. By the way one or two studies don't constitute "a lot." (that would be an opinion)
It's fact. But now you are asking me to provide information/links that demonstrate that there is no link between homosexuality and child molestation. This is a pretty big topic... in fact, big enough for an entire new thread. I haven't quite finished schooling you on THIS topic yet, so why don't we just stick to gay parenting for now.
And two longitudinal studies may not be a lot, but it's two more than the opposition.
Yes, about all those findings that indicate lesbian couples raise children who are better adjusted than those raised in homes with a mother and a father. This article suggests the "repeatability" of many of these studies exist for a reason....bias on the part of the researchers themselves. Of course we both know that could never happen. (that sarcasm on my part not fact)

I always love it when people quote Stacy and try to misuse her comments against research that demonstrates that children of gay parents do as well as those of straight parents. Like you... and Slate did above, her comments are misrepresented. Now, I could spend time demonstrating this, but I think it would be MUCH better for you to hear it from the source. Stacey herself:
