CWN - July 17, 2012
The sociologist who authored a study questioning whether same-sex parents are successful in raising children is now under investigation for allegations of "scientific misconduct."
Mark Regnerus, whose extensive research showed that previous studies failed to meet basic social-science criteria, has been under heavy pressure from homosexual activists since his own study was released in the July issue of Social Science Research.
Regnerus has said that he stands by the conclusions of his research, emphasizing that his work was more thorough and dispassionate than previous studies. Homosexual activists charge that Regnerus designed his own study in a deliberate attempt to demonstrate that children raised by same-sex parents are less well adjusted. Ironically, Regnerus found that previous charges were biased in favor of homosexual parents.
