LGBT Family Researcher Takes on Family Research Council

For your viewing pleasure today, here’s Dr. Abbie Goldberg, assistant professor of psychology at Clark University, and one of the foremost researchers on LGBT families today, debating Tom McClusky, Vice President of Government Affairs at the Family Research Council.

Dr. Goldberg’s work was cited in the Prop 8 trial, among other places, and her book, Lesbian and Gay Parents and Their Children, compiles and synthesizes decades of research by herself and others. I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing her and asking her questions like, “Are lesbian and gay parents really better than straight ones?” I’m pleased to say she walks all over McClusky’s arguments below.
