The idea
Research consistently finds that children of lesbian and gay parents develop and adjust as well as children of heterosexual parents.
In practice
A child raised by two mothers doing as well at school and with friends as her classmates.
Where people slip
The misconception is that children of same-sex parents fare worse; studies find no differences in development or adjustment.
