Children being raised by same gay and lesbian are twice as likely to live in poverty as children in married, heterosexual households.
This quote from their abstract seems really out of place among all the other positive or affirmative quotes. I suppose it might have something to do with living in Mississippi than being gay, though? Too tired to review it now, I'll check it out some other time; thanks for the link!
They are making a really strong claim that the only troubles same-sex couples face are caused by the system, not by the psychological scarring of having two daddies or two mommies. This is meant to shake that up--if the children coming out of same-sex households are doing just as well as others, despite economic problems, then you obviously can't claim that economic privilege is responsible for closing the gap.
It should be noted that it's a pretty common prejudice to think of heterosexuality as a purely middle or upper class phenomenon--people are often amazed to find homosexuals in the lower classes. Ironic, since that's where we were for the bulk of our history... And because most same sex couples with children are lower or lower-middle class.
