Using empirical research from your text, defend the case for marriage and adoption rights for LGBT individuals.
What will be an ideal response?
The overwhelming research evidence indicates that there are no important differences in the adjustment or development of children raised in same-sex or opposite-sex couples. Children raised by same-sex couples report very similar experiences of family life to those of children raised by opposite-sex couples. Further, children raised by same-sex couples do not identify any more or less with a particular sexual orientation than children raised by opposite-sex couples. Sometimes children raised by same-sex couples will experience teasing, but there do not seem to be long-lasting detrimental effects. Psychologists have concluded that any discrimination against gay and lesbian families is unwarranted.
