Still better than the orphanage/foster system though.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

The whole point is that this study compares same-sex adoptive parents with biological parents. Of course the results show that biological parents are better for children. I don't think you'll find anyone who would argue with that.
These data are not explanatory at all.
The apt comparison is same-sex adoptive parents and heterosexual adoptive parents.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Gathering correct evidence but drawing false conclusions from the results, basically.

Actually there is no substantial data to confirm , or to even point out that the enviroment or society has an impact on an individuals sexual orientation , it has an impact on his sexual behavior. Some like to speculate that sexual orientantion is determined in the placenta.
Even Freud that was fond of the Oedipus Complex didn't think that the complex establishes the orientation but the manifestation of the sexual orientation.
But most people who dissagre with this soo you can bluntly ask them, " What would you prefer a children to die in Africa or have same-sex parents ?" And you would probably put them in a dilema that acts on their emotions.
Edit: If they say " it is a dissease " , just run .
