"Well, I'm sorry I'm not a lesbian!" That will be my reply to my kids when they complain, as teenagers or whenever, that I wasn't the best parent in the world. And that's because some British dude claims that "his research shows children from lesbian couples do better in life than the offspring of heterosexual couples."Part of the claim is based on the fact that lesbian couples who want kids must obviously really want kids, since they can't accidentally become pregnant. The study doesn't explain whether gay-men couples would be good at parenting for the same reason, considering it's even less likely for one of them to become pregnant.
Another conclusion from this study is that, once again, dads mean shit. But if I can convince my wife to take an interest in women so that at least one-half of our parenting couple is optimized, it might all be worthwhile.
