For years the religious right has done all it could to cast gay people as existing outside the family. It's part of a messaging strategy to define them as shifty, rootless individualists who threaten precious institutions that symbolize group cohesion. But in anointing themselves the champions of "family values" and protectors of vulnerable children, religious conservatives have had little to say when confronted with the undeniable existence of actual gay families--particularly kids with LGBT parents.

Now, a groundbreaking report released this week by a coalition of progressive family advocates and researchers has stopped the religious right in its tracks, with the most comprehensive look at how its vaunted opposition to LGBT equality is actually harming up to two million children living in LGBT households.
