Conducted in April, the study showed that the general health, emotional well-being, and learning ability was about the same whether the children in the study had same-sex or opposite-sex parents. For the study, the researchers observed 95 female same-sex households and 95 opposite-sex households. All of the homes were similarly stable and came from all across the country. Many previous studies have come to similar conclusions, and this one will only further exemplify the need for equality for same-sex parents.
