PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The Rhode Island Senate Judiciary Committee heard 12 hours of testimony recently on bills to legalize same-sex marriage.
One of the many issues discussed was same-sex couples raising children.
Susan Yoshihara, director of research at the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, who testified against the bills, talked about research that showed that children of same-sex couples fared as well as those from heterosexual couples.
"Some go even further and say that two lesbians might make better parents than a mother and a father, and there was a study that came out a few years ago that pointed to that effect as well," she said. "But any scholarly basis for those claims has been shattered by the latest and best social science and research."
