Insufficient evidence to support same-sex claim

IN your report of a conference (May 5) supporting same-sex marriage, you quote Prof Sheila Greene of TCD to the effect that children raised by same-sex parents do just as well as those raised by opposite-sex couples.

With all due respect to Prof Greene, there is simply not enough available evidence to make such a bold claim.

The studies of children raised by same-sex parents involve, at most, a few dozen children and the great majority of these studies are bedevilled by serious methodological flaws.
