In this piece, Rodney Croome responds to the Australian Christian Lobby’s claims that only heterosexual parents can provide the right environment for the raising of children. To read the ACL’s original piece, click here.
At the most conservative estimate about 30,000 Australian children are being raised by same-sex couples. The figure is probably much higher.
These children will grow up to be just as happy and healthy as their peers, and will be heterosexual in exactly the same proportion.
I’m certain about this because it is confirmed by 40 years of research.
But don’t take my word for it.
