Children of lesbian families happy and healthy, but homophobia hurts

Just over half the teens, too, felt their mothers had adequately prepared them to deal with homophobia. One of the most important ways the mothers did so was by embracing their own lesbian identities and participating in the lesbian community. That much was evident from the 10-year-old interviews. As the children reached their teens, however, and became more concerned about fitting in, some of the moms were careful to let them take the lead in disclosing to friends that they came from a lesbian family. The mothers did not abandon their identities or the lesbian community because of this, but let the teens come out about their families on their own time.

guess this study rests the case of deadbeat dads and teen girls not having a father figure in their life? or am i wrong? so far it sounds like all of these children are doing better with two mommies.

no offense to the guys. my wifey is just so concerned about being seen as a lesbian.
