A study released Monday in the medical journal Pediatrics finds that lesbians make better parents.

The study purports that children of lesbian parents are more well-adjusted, have higher grades, and have less behavior problems than children born to heterosexual parents.

Awesome.

Physicians and researchers who conducted the 25-year study examined 84 families, whose children were conceived through in-vitro fertilization. As noted in Time Magazine, the children answered questions pertaining to their home life, social relationships, and mental state at ages 10 and 17.

These findings are startling to some behaviorists, insofar as they expected  no substantial difference between children of lesbian parents and children of heterosexual couples. Professor Nanette Gartrell from University of California, San Francisco notes this:

“We simply expected to find no difference in psychological adjustment between adolescents reared in lesbian families and the normative sample of age-matched controls. I was surprised to find that on some measures we found higher levels of [psychological] competency and lower levels of behavioral problems. It wasn’t something I anticipated.”

How? How is it that lesbians are better parents? Is it that all of these children in the study were planned pregnancies? Is it that with two moms, you have twice the maternal instinct, twice the attention, and twice the care?

Yes. And yes (x3).

Moreso, these children are in no way harmed by having two moms. If anything, they can handle adversity better… because you know there’s always one jerk on the playground calling them freaks for having two moms. They make good grades, don’t get into fights, and are nice, normal kids.

Again, awesome.
