Charlotte J. Patterson MD. Parents Sexual Orient Essays - Gender

Charlotte J. Patterson MD. "Parents' Sexual Orientation And Children's Development" I-M Medicine March 2011. Patterson has been described as "the world's expert on psychological research on children and youths raised by lesbian and gay parents. In addition to publishing numerous scientific studies on this topic she testified before theInstitute of Medicineon the topic of lesbian-related research in 1997. Her research has found that children raised by same-sex parents develop at least as well as children raised by heterosexual parents. She published this article in state of California in 2011 where she reached out to the majority by presenting with the question What if any influence does parents sexual orientationhave on children's development? Research suggests that contrary to concerns voiced by many observer's parents sexualorientationhas little if any direct impact on children's development. Even so, some distinctive qualities of experiences in families of lesbian and gay parents have been noted, and their implications are not fully understood. Moreover, research on individual difference s among families headed by lesbian mothers and gay fathers and their possible impact on children. She researches to the conclusion that like any other house hold nothing can determine sexual oration and doesn't offer any more effects then heterosexual households. I believe that her credentials do not affect her research in any way and is aimed more for higher level learning in psychology. But unlike my other research Dr. Elizabeth Morgan is trying convey men and women form all different types of race, culture, religion and countries do have an effect on sexual orientation which it adds to my research 2 different viewpoints but Patterson emphasizing on gay households affecting young children with sexual orientation. Which it compares with my other articles that households have a lot effect on sexual orientation. I believe that the author doesn't have any biased thinking do to the fact the she mentions that she comes from a heterosexual household which nothing of that sort of nature w as mentioned in the article not affecting her research in any way.
