Unfortunately predictable. Leftists and mainstream right wingers think we don't want them to have kids because we hate them or something, when these stats are very clear and available.

The studies referenced in this article almost exclusively disagree with what they're trying to say. They criticize one study that used 3,500 people as having a "small sample size," and then the three studies they reference to support their own position had between 20 and and 93 people. These studies also didn't find anything wrong developmentally with the children. One didn't even seem to be about the children and instead was only about interviewing one of the two parents, to confirm that same sex parents and different sex parents show similar levels of stress from parenting.

There's plenty of other articles, studies, etc. one can find in a few seconds that demonstrate the ties between homosexuality and mental illness/trauma, and the statistics on child molestation are pretty astounding with regards to homosexuals.

I've looked far and wide for studies done that look for the sexuality of children raised by same-sex parents. No success in finding robust ones. Would be a powerful argument to use if these kids were more gay, bi or trans

Why would it be a powerful argument?

Even this study done by lesbian researcher says: "Although most respondents in each sample identified as “heterosexual or straight,” compared to their matched counterparts in the population-based survey, the female and male offspring of lesbian parents were significantly more to likely to report same-sex attraction, sexual minority identity, and same-sex experience." https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-019-1434-5

Many more studies done by pro LGBT researchers showed that too. https://web.archive.org/web/20111117051819/http://www.drtraycehansen.com/Pages/writings_sexpref.html

Also dont forget the regnerus study
