A recent study conducted in Canada, based on a census of the country, shows that children who are children of same-sex couples are less likely to finish high school than opposite-sex couples, even after controlling for factors such as income and education level parents.

The research found that only 65% of the children of couples with two parents are likely to graduate from high school.

He also indicated that girls daughters of same-sex parents have lower rates of training in school than boys.

Other records into account show that girls couples two daughters have rates significantly worse than the daughters of lesbians. On the other hand, the children of couples from two parents are better than with two mothers.

The study: "Rates of secondary graduation of children of same-sex households" - High school graduation rates among children of same-sex households - was developed by the Canadian, Doiglas W. Allen, Professor, Simon Fraser University, Brurnaby (CAN).
To validate research, Allen had to take into account that, in Canada, same-sex couples are recognized since 1997 and the marriage since 2005. To gather information for the census, the Canadian Government asked if parents if they were same-sex couples, whether they were married or unmarried.

Research of Allen was compared with other studies in a wide data conferences and despite showing some common limitations as any inquiry, "such limitations are modest compared with unique strengths and notable conclusions", according to Mark Regnerus, Professor of sociology at the University of Texas (USA).UU.).

Studies of the American Psychology Association and the American Sociological Association claim that differences between parents of the same sex or opposite-sex couples there are no. However, "in these cases, this research brings small samples to reach their conclusions, different calculation in Canada," according to Regnerus.
