CHILDREN OF LESBIAN PARENTS MAY DO BETTER THAN THEIR PEERS

An article was posted on the Time's website about a study that had concluded that children of lesbian parents may have better self-esteem and confidence compared to children from heterosexual homes.

The study showed that children raised by lesbian mothers (single or partnered) scored similar to children raised by heterosexual parents in areas of development and social behaviour. However as mentioned above, they differed with self-esteem and confidence, but also academically children from lesbian families did better and were less likely to have behaviourial problems such as rule breaking and aggression.

However, it should be noted that there isn't a lot of information on lesbian mothers who premeditated their families, that is choose to have kids after they identified themselves as lesbians. And that all this information is in the preliminary stages, and still has a lot further to go. This information is really significant for those who make if significant. Your social surroundings will always impact on the type of person you become, this is merely just another example of that.
