Mental illness less likely for lesbians' kids

The challenges faced by homosexual parents could play a role in how well their children ward off psychological problems

Children with lesbian mothers have a lower risk of developing psychological illnesses than children growing up with a father and a mother, a recent University of Copenhagen study finds. The study is the first of its kind in Denmark.

The study found that while five percent of children from traditional families developed conditions such as depression or anorexia between 1992 and 2008, the number was two percent among the 387 children of lesbian parents participating in the study.
The findings, according to Merete Lauberg, of the University Of Copenhagen Department Of Public Health, suggest that concerns that alternative families have a negative effect on child development are over.

One reason for the lower rate could be that their mothers have encountered more resistance in their lives than heterosexual parents have.

‘Resistance makes you stronger, and that could be passed on to their children,’ Lauberg said.

Another reason, according to psychiatrist Per Hove Thomsen are the efforts the parents had to make to conceive the child.

‘A lot of other parents have challenges having children, but children with lesbian mothers face particular challenges,’ he said. ‘The women have had to make an extra effort to get pregnant, and that could have an effect on the child.’

Fact file | Homosexual families
- About 2000 Danish children have parents with the same gender
- Some 700 children have been adopted by homosexual couples in registered partnerships since 1999, when the practice became legal
- Parliament passed a law in 2007 granting lesbian women access to artificial insemination at public hospitals

Yes, resistance makes you stronger, but what if that resistance dissappears?
What will be the results when this is all accepted by everyone..?

It should be banned.
Imagine that you have 2 male or 2 female parents,
I wouldn't want my school mates to visit me at home.

How narrow-minded.

[lupus]

Maybe its cos they don't suffer from sexual repression - that can lead to neurosis and depression :)

[oneup]

How narrow-minded.

And why?

[illuminotti]

My son lives with us...who are lesbians he's five.......
nobody who lives around us cares that we are lesbians we dress "normally" all my sons mates call round..........in fact i think my childs school would like all parents to be like we are with our child, he's bright, gorgeous, funny and VERY VERY happy!OH he also see's his father, when he can be arsed to call round and collect him..

[pinkfreud]

And why?

i guess that's because having two moms or two dads doesn't make you (or them) a lesser human being :)

Of course not, and I didn't mean to say that either.
I wouldn't be so happy if I was a child and I found out there is something unusual about my parents. And at 5 years old you don't realize that yet. No offense intended.

She had to get an anti-man statement in somehow!!!

She's right about the school though. They are part of the NWO's plan to brainwash us all and break down the family.

Homosexuality is not normal. It is a malfunction.

Homosexuals possibly cannot help what they are and we should show understanding and tolerance up to a point. However, they should keep their problem to themselves and not flaunt it. It most certainly must not be taught to children that this malfunction is normal.

[illuminotti]

No offence taken!! but at five years old, he is fully aware of our family life, without detail!! Maybe his friends aren't FULLY aware, but they know us, as their friends and their parents friends, so why should it bother them?

[illuminotti]

No i'm not anti man, just anti my kids dad!! bit of a wrong choice of boyfriend at the time, we decided to have a child then when i was 3mths,he ran off back to his mum!! so i guess just 1 anti man comment i'm allowed?? huh??

In fact i enjoy male company to women, ( used to be a barmaid) so, no not anti men!! AND I'M RAISING A MAN, wouldn't be very suitable to have a child if i was anti a certain sex.

just live how you wanna live and be happy!

The school, i don't know about, i know i send him clean and tidy and willing to learn, and i dont think of the school as a babysitting service!

[kay123]

I don't view homosexuality as a malfunction or a problem or an illness.

Love is genderless.

[pinkfreud]

Love is genderless.

absolutely.

gender = physical

love = spiritual.

[eternal_spirit]

Imagine if the story read "Mental illness less likely for hetrosexual kids"
There'd be a riot on here. The gays would be up in arms!

[gilly]

How many times do people need to be reminded of the favourite strategy of our enemies - divide and conquer.

[illuminotti]

I wouldn't be up in arms, personally i couldn't care less what statistic's show,
i know a few lesbians that are confusing their children,
Making their children call their partners dad, and i know 1 who makes her grandchildren call her partner grandad!!(it's so obvious she aint grandad, think her tit's give it away)
We give those people a WIDE berth.......i think gay people get things wrong with children as much as hetrosexual's, i've seen both sides!!

My child has 1 mum and 1 dad, and my partner is a lady that joined our family to share our love and life!! And we'll see whats around the next corner.......

don't tar everyone with the same brush, treat people as individual's not as a stereotypical group!!

[eternal_spirit]

Fair enough Illuminoti. Just that the shit really hits the fan on the gay threads round here. Each to their own choice of sexuality imo. I don't think there's any truth in the article, not something that can be really proven.

[illuminotti]

i've noticed, sometimes i wanna join in but feel like i may get "gaybashed"...lol
i also appreciate that not everyone agrees that children should be brought up in this kind of environment, but then they should also see that some hetrosexual parents aren't that suitable either!!

i'd also like to note for later reading, that i do not push my sexuality down my son's throat, i just know that when he's older 1 girl certainly aint going to be enough for him!

I actually believe humans are naturally omnisexual

What's that mean:confused: heard of tri sexual those who try anything:D

[wildhorse]

This is typical Looney Lumi instigating....

not a shred of truth or proof but watch how Joe and Jack Public take swipes out of each other...


Firstly...our Creator didnt malfunction when making peeps of the same sex fall for each other. Love aint discriminative (sp) I think the big guy in sky kinda likes seeing love expressed in the most hybrid of ways, after all love is expansive and why should it just be between a man and a woman. Men who really love their 'brothers', women who truely love their 'sisters'

We are all kids of God - don't get caught up in the crap they like to stir up..

I do feel however, that this lil news clip has an agenda behind it...babies being taken from rightful mothers, mabes fathers if they are around, to be given to same sex couples.

Baby farming is never right, no matter what the political agenda is behind it....prospective adopters, dont be fooled into thinking you are saving the baby from an abusive family...you have ABDUCTED a much loved baby in the majority of 'cases'.

If you can live with that, then fair enough...

[lostwonderer]

And why?

Because you stated that homosexuality should be banned. Guess happiness doesn't matter, right?

[oneup]

Yeah I know I shouldn't have said it might be to controversial even for this forum.

Either you got me wrong or me english isn't that great, but I stated that homosexual couples having children should be banned.

[lostwonderer]

Either you got me wrong or me english isn't that great, but I stated that homosexual couples having children should be banned.

Either way, i still consider it to be a pretty ignorant view.

[apekteina lordosis]

perhaps me and bob jones should try to get our mothers to hook up with each other.

Sorry, but I can't bite my toungue, when you say "flaunting it" what you are saying sounds completely homophobic, this is 2009, not 1909, I am shocked that people still have this attitude. Where are these homosexuals flaunting it? I have just looked outside and I see no same sex couples shagging each other.

If the kids of gay couples get a hard time it's because of narrow minded attitudes such as yours.

[meksar]

These people are pushing us all to become Baphomet's, i have already stated that men and women with overly masculine and effeminate behavioral traits are what we call homosexuals and lesbians. No matter how people try and paint a tolerant picture towards same sex relationship's it is not natural and is being promoted by the Zionist Media and Education.

If it continues to manifest we are going to have to have a explosion in surrogate births, test tube babies and homosexual adoption. This is the final stage in the breakdown of the family, the sexual revolution was part of making sure lots of kids were born out of one night stands and in single parent homes(amongst many other things). Don't get me wrong here i am no member of the Westboro Baptist Church, i believe sex between two consenting adults(or more) in their own home is their business. But having homosexuality paraded in people's face is without a shadow of a doubt is being provocative, gatecrashing people's funeral on the other hand is one of the most disrespectful things you can do.

My father's family are Jamaican and lets just say they are not that open to homosexuality . I'm going to post a clip by the Zionist controlled opposition Micheal Moore, the back guy who says "Amen" at 4:26 is a perfect example of something that is becoming more common in the black community. Once again i do not support violence and persecution towards the homosexual community, but i do smell the stench of Khazar rats yet again.

I agree with you and besides i would rather see same sex couples bringing up kids than some of these chavey stright couples who physicaly/mentaly abuse thier kids and end up with the kids getting put into care.

Example Baby Ps parents and too many other evil b******s to mention.

[ronisron]

Ridiculous.... this is not a pro or anti gay thread, this is supposed to be in response to the "research" mentioned in the OP. "Children of Lesbians are less likely to have mental illness".... which I for one, think is BS. It seems to be some kind of propaganda for same sex partners who raise children to not only be seen as normal and acceptable by the hetero public at large, but better than normal.

I don't think it's better or worse, it will probably raise a child to have more tolerance and acceptance of gay people in other walks of life. That's about the only benefit there is.
