Abstract

Representative empirical evidence and common sense reasoning are reviewed below which necessitate the logical conclusion that households with one or more homosexually-behaving adults or adolescents should be prohibited from adoption and from foster parenting, and were found to be less capable of providing the best family structure in cases of contested child custody. Hundreds of additional scientific studies also support these three reasons for this rational basis, but space limitations necessitate the presentation of only a number of representative sources of supporting evidence here.
