Conservatives claim same-sex parenting is harmful to children

In an article called "Same-Sex Parenting is Harmful to Children," REAL Women of Canada say the Canadian Psychological Association has ceased to be a scientific organization, following its announcement last fall that there is no heightened risk of problems from same-sex parenting, or an increased likelihood for children living in such partnerships to become gay themselves. They dig and twist stories to try and prove their point citing that many adolescents living with AIDS were infected by adults (not clarifying that the adolescents weren't being raised by same-sex parents or that the adults responsible were parents at all), then claim that 49 American studies that advocate in favor of same-sex parenting have fatal flaws. REAL Women's effort to, uhm, scientifically validate their homophobia is hyperbole.
