Your post gave me the opportunity to look into the Regenerus study. I can see why Ligtvoet did not cite this study as it would have required far more significant analysis than intended for his article. What Irvine fails to mention is the study faced political opposition, but more importantly, scientific peer review. The peer review validated Regenerus’ work, both at the University of Texas (where Regenerus works) and on a national stage.

A preemptive attempt to discredit the process is not worthy of this thread. If you are going to start a thread seeking discussion, we deserve a better response.

Regenerus' "study" has been widely discredited. That's what happens when you compare children from broken homes who have one parent who may have had a short term same-sex relationship with intact families. But when you've utterly failed to show any -- any -- harm in the Prop 8 Trial, better scramble for funding quick before it goes to SCOTUS.

Google a bit more.

Didn't someone at Regnerus' own journal call it a bullshit study?

Look at the link NBC provided for the "national stage."

He has proved my point exactly -- the study was designed to be something for conservative media to latch onto.

So, we can now debunk a scientific study based on which secondary media outlet reports the findings?

I would think a discussion would necessarily include an analysis of the methodology and results of studies with conflicting conclusions.

Or, again, is your honest answer to AEON's question: "No".

don't distort things.

the study has been debunked on it's own.

go do your own research.

by your own admission, you weren't aware of the Regenerus "study." if you were, you'd be aware of the analysis that has already been done and you'd be aware of how Regenerus cooked his numbers to arrive at a pre-established conclusion.

Or, again, is your honest answer to AEON's question: "No".

you want to know my thoughts? you had answered for all of us earlier.
