'LONDON, December 22, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A UK government parenting adviser has publicly stated that lesbians make better parents than heterosexual couples.

“Lesbians make better parents than a man and a woman,” said Professor Stephen Scott, director of research at the National Academy for Parenting Practitioners and the director of the National Adoption and Fostering Team at Maudsley Hospital, during an event hosted by the think-tank Demos, according to a Daily Mail report.

A spokeswoman at the Demos event defended Professor Scott’s declaration on lesbian parenting, saying other contributors had pointed out there was a relative dearth of research on the impact and importance of a father’s attachment to a child, according to the Daily Mail report.

However, there is a vast amount of research into the importance of fathers to children.

A massive Swedish study published in the peer-reviewed journal Acta Paediatrica in 2008 stated that active father figures play a key role in reducing behavior problems in boys and psychological problems in young women.'
