Slate's William Saletan on gay parenting, here. Slate likes the bratty contrarian angle, and they're willing to challenge feminists and a few other liberal shibboleths, but it's impossible to imagine them taking on the gay initiative.
I don't know enough about the research to have a position, but I certainly don't trust Saletan's take the studies. My biggest question: why do the studies consider male-male and female-female parenting pairs together, if they do? They're virtually certain to be widely divergent in some very fundmental ways. If some studies do consider the groups separately, why doesn't Saletan report on the findings? (I don't have a problem with female-female parents, as long as they have plenty of money, but I can't say the same about male-male.)
