Ersatz socialogist Mark Regenrus, with a heaping helping of right wing culture war money, produced a study alleging that children raised by gay parents had worse outcomes than those raised by heterosexual couples. The journal that published it came under immediate criticism for not following normal peer review methods, and the study itself for reaching conclusions not supported by its own data. In fact most of the households Regenrus included in his study had suffered divorce after one partner came out of the closet. The exception to this was the only household in it headed by a same sex couple and even Regenrus concluded their children did well. Established socialogists pointed out he had simply shown what the field had known for a long time; that divorce stresses out children. But in the right wing media Regenrus stuck to his conclusions, saying he was only following the data.
