Debunking the Anti-Marriage Ads





From 
Walter Olson's blog:

Maryland for All Families:


Anti-6 theme: “Children do best when raised by their married mom and dad”


"The first TV ad by the No on 6 campaign pushes the “maybe it’s bad for the kids” theme that has worked well for marriage opponents in earlier campaigns. No matter that it’s based on an absurd non sequitur, since Maryland is not somehow voting on whether or not gays should have or raise kids (they’re doing that already), but on whether gay households with or without kids should be able to form legally recognized commitments, advancing the security and stability of those families."
"At any rate, Annie Linskey at the Baltimore Sun has an excellent article examining the basis of the claims.
"The methodology and findings of the Regnerus study have been extensively criticized from many quarters; [Walter Olson's] contribution to this literature appeared in the Huffington Post."
 John Corvino, has made a valuable contribution in his series of videos on same-sex marriage, entitled:
