Fundamentally flawed

The witnesses for the state in the Michigan same-sex marriage case currently in progress aren't doing very well. The first witness yesterday morning failed to establish that he was an expert in any of the relevant issues. So he was shown the door.

The second witness was Dr. Mark Regnerus, the author of a study that supposedly shows that same-sex couples are bad parents. Gay researchers have ripped it up one side and down the other for showing no such thing. What he showed was families where one parent is gay and the other straight tend to not last and those kids can be troubled.

So he was on the witness stand yesterday and today. And while he was there the Sociology Dept. of The University of Texas at Austin, where Regnerus is on the faculty, released a statement declaring his study to be "fundamentally flawed." Such delicious timing.
