Then why was there such a discrepancy in finances between people with a gay mother and father and people living with their biological parents? They did do a random sampling (presumably…I haven’t looked into it, but I will take your word for it) but most of the parents with one gay parent were poor. That should have been controlled for.actually " living in the suburbs vs. living in the ghetto" is dealt with by random sampling.
There are natural marriages and then there are sacramental marriages, many non-sacramental marriages are still natural marriagesThere are plenty of marriages that are between a man and a woman and not recognized by the church. Do you call those marriages?
Because the relationships with a same sex person includes same sex affairs, affairs of all sorts generally lead to divorces and divorces damage finances badly. That is why the study is unusable and genrally worthless, there is nothing wrong with the data or the method it is just that because of how life works it is going to include a much higher amount of divorces as a percent and divorces really screw the children up resulting in gay parents showing up as worse parents even if they are actually better parents.Then why was there such a discrepancy in finances between people with a gay mother and father and people living with their biological parents?

I don’t respond to straw man or other diversionary tactics. Please stick to the point. The discussion is about same sex “marriages” and no other kind.There are plenty of marriages that are between a man and a woman and not recognized by the church. Do you call those marriages?
How is pointing out that other marriages between a man and a woman are not recognized by the Catholic Church a strawman? YOU said that if a marriage is not recognized by the Catholic church it would be a mockery of the holy sacrament to call it marriage.Parenthetically, same sex “marriages” are not recognized by the Catholic Church, and that’s why I don’t refer to these arrangements as “marriage.” To do so would be to make a mockery of a Holy Sacrament.
I am just pointing out the hypocrisy.I don’t respond to straw man or other diversionary tactics. Please stick to the point. The discussion is about same sex “marriages” and no other kind.

LOL you quote me, and then in the same post you misquote me, and leave out the key term “same sex.” I will assume, out of charity, that you are just being hasty and careless.You said:

As I’ve said before, all the flaws you point out are valid - but they are also the same flaws you’ll find in studies that show “no differences.”Then why was there such a discrepancy in finances between people with a gay mother and father and people living with their biological parents? They did do a random sampling (presumably…I haven’t looked into it, but I will take your word for it) but most of the parents with one gay parent were poor. That should have been controlled for.
Exactly, and the real question should not be if there are flaws with the study but rather if the flaws are bad enough to make it impossible to conclude anything from the study. In other words what is the confidence level of the results?As I’ve said before, all the flaws you point out are valid - but they are also the same flaws you’ll find in studies that show “no differences.”
