A new study published in the Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics found that households with same-sex parents show no differences from those with different-sex parents with regard to spouse or partner relationships, parent-child relationships or children’s general health, emotional difficulties and coping and learning behavior.  Researchers from the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, the University of Amsterdam and Columbia University contributed to the research.

The study is the first to use a nationally representative survey to compare two types of households by focusing only on those with parents that have been in a continuous relationship.  The study used data from the 2011-2012 National Survey of Children’s Health.
