3:05Now Playing"Teens with lesbian parents tend to do better in school and lead happier lives, a new study suggests.
Researchers found that 17-year-olds with two moms had high school GPA averages of A-minus to B-plus, according to the study, entitled "Adolescents with Lesbian Mothers Describe Their Own Lives."
The teenagers also had strong family bonds and described their moms as good role models.
"These kids were planned and their lesbian mothers were very engaged in parenting," Nanette Gartrell, lead researcher for the Williams Institute of UCLA study, told CBS Las Vegas.
Gartrell and her colleagues tracked 78 participants for a period of 26 years before publishing their results in the Journal of Homosexuality.
"At the end of high school, the teens tell us that they have excellent grades, feel connected to their families and friends, and admire their parents," she added."*
Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break down the logic behind the study and discuss why it is generally ignored in favor of agenda opposing gay parents.
