EXPERT SAYS GAY MARRIAGE OPPONENTS TWISTED HIS RESEARCH: From the Associated Press

A child psychiatrist from Yale University is denouncing efforts by the Oregon group that opposes same-sex marriage, saying they are misusing his research.

But backers of Measure 36, which would amend Oregon's constitution to ban same-sex marriage, said they believe Dr. Kyle Pruett's research shows that a child fares best growing up with a married father and mother.

In its campaign fliers, the coalition writes that Pruett "reveals that infants just 8 weeks of age can already detect the difference between male and female interaction. This further confirms that the role of a mother and a father are not interchangeable when it comes to raising children." ...

Actually, children generally fare better with two parents than one, even if the parents are of the same gender, Pruett said.

"There is to date no credible research that says children raised by gay and lesbian couples are at risk," he said.
