Researchers at University of Cambridge’s Centre for Family Research found that gay and lesbian parents are at least as good at coping with the demands of parenting, the Independent reported.

Children do not suffer any disadvantage, and the vast majority are not bullied at school, but the report said that “bullying and teasing are much more of a problem in secondary schools than primary schools; thus, only follow-up will reveal how things turn out in the future.”

The experiences of 130 gay, lesbian and heterosexual adoptive families in Britain, with children aged four to eight, were examined – focusing on the quality of family relationships, how parents cope and how children adjust.

The study said that “there was no evidence” to support speculation that children’s masculine or feminine tendencies are affected by having gay or lesbian parents.
