Having raised O/our wonderful Daughter with love and care and diversity, I am so glad to see this study.
New Study Shows 0% Abuse Experienced by Adolescent Children of Lesbian Parents
A paper published on 11/10/10 in the Archives of Sexual Behavior showed that none of the sample 17-year-old daughters and sons of lesbian mothers who are part of the U.S. National Longitudinal Lesbian Family Study (NLLFS ) experienced physical or sexual abuse by a parent or other caregiver. The paper contrasts these results with “…26% of American adolescents who report parent or caregiver physical abuse and 8.3% who report sexual abuse.”
The NLLFS was funded in part by the Lesbian Health Fund, a program of GLMA.
