Deep Thoughts: Follow-Up

In a recent post, I complained about President Bush's discriminatory comments about same-sex parenting.

Bush said, "Studies have shown that the ideal is where a child is raised in a married family with a man and a woman."

Today, columnist David Corn sets the record straight (uh...pardon the pun):

"When I heard this statement at the time, I scratched my head and wondered whether it was accurate. But, busy as I was with other matters, I did not follow through, as did Benedict Carey of the Times. His story is no surprise. It reports, "Experts say there is no scientific evidence that children raised by gay couples do any worse--socially, academically or emotionally--than their peers raised in more traditional households.""
