Children with Same-Sex Parents

People for years have been going on about how children raised by same-sex parents aren't as well of as those raised in a traditional household setting. People like to use the argument that father knows best, but is that true? There are studies, Michael Lamb has performed hundreds pf these studies, that prove that children raised by homosexual parents are just as healthy as those raised by heterosexual parents. The Australian Study of Child Health in Same-Sex Familiar performed an experiment which proved that children raised by same-sex parents are generally more willing to communicate any issues that they are having in school like bullying. This promotes the development of openness and means that children tend to be more resilient. So, does father really know best or is that one more thing that has to adapt with the changing times?
