June 26th, 2015, same-sex marriage is legalized throughout every state in the United States. It is one of the historical moment in the US history. However, passing the same-sex marriage is still a query now because of the concern within the traditional society and people 's minds. Nevertheless, some of the people scholars questioned about the influences of the children who raise by lesbigay parents, not the heterosexual parents. In addition, the role of parents cannot be ignored for children because they are the first people who take care and support them.
Even though heterosexual parents might not have this issue, their children still have the chances to become the lesbigay parents and raising the children. As a result, understanding the effect of lesbigay parents on their children is an educational action for people to use the viewpoint to deeply know the lesbigay without the bias. In fact, before the same-sex marriage legalized in the US, some scholars already put their attentions on this issue which is the influences of lesbigay parents raising their children. Nevertheless, other scholars in the field have a different view of points and argue about this concern can be the bias towards the lesbigay. Otherwise, it needs some evidence to prove the claim which lesbigay parents will be harmful to their children. Every scholar in this field have the different thoughts on the issue based on the belief or thought which they have about the lesbigay. …show more content…
In addition, the scholars will design a different kind of questions due to the distinct viewpoint about the issue. However, designing the question sometimes possibly causes one of the serious problems which will cause the studies not reliable at the end or has the bias toward the certain group of people who is the researchers and scientist avoiding all the time. In Judith Stacey and Timothy J. Biblarz’s “(How) Does the Sexual Orientation of Parents Matter?” (2011), they mention that “most of the research asks whether lesbigay parents subject their children to greater risks or harm than are confronted by children reared by heterosexual parents. Because anti-gay scholars seek evidence of harm, sympathetic researchers defensively stress its absence” (160). This passage shows that the questions about the influence of lesbigay parents on their children in the studies can be designed with the bias toward the lesbigay parents. In addition, that means the results becoming the disadvantage for the lesbigay parents. Moreover, the studies should be neutral and without bias for the audience to decide which side they more belief by the evidence and data in the study. Whether or not some scholars have the bias about the issue of children raising by lesbigay parents, not the heterosexual parent, there are no evidence from any field which can prove it yet. In Walter R. Schumm 's “Are Two Lesbian Parents Better than a Mom and Dad? Logical and Methodological Flaws in Recent Studies Affirming the Superiority of Lesbian Parenthood” (2011), he exposes that “numerous scholars have concluded that not even one study has ever found any significant (i.e., p < .05) differences between lesbigay and heterosexual parents” (85). This passage shows that many studies reflect the children who are raising by lesbigay parents won 't be harmful to their parents and lesbigay children are the same as the other children who raising by heterosexual parents. Regarding these researchers, it indicates that this dispute is prevalent in the field and the scholars are endeavoring to find the results which can disprove the inoffensive of lesbigay parents raising on their children. Moreover, some scholars divide their studies into the diverse areas, such as mental, psychological, etc. For instance, in their article, “(How) Does the Sexual Orientation of Parents Matter?” (2011), Judith Stacey and Timothy J. Biblarz explain that “[o]ne meta-analysis of 18 such studies (11 of which are included among our 21) characteristically concludes that ‘the results demonstrate no differences on any measures between the heterosexual and homosexual parents regarding parenting styles, emotional adjustment, and sexual orientation of the child(ren)” (Allen and Burrell qtd. in Stacey and Biblarz 167). This passage has more detail to show the audiences what categories did the studies have. Furthermore, it shows what specific
