Sick of Ben Shapiro perpetually DESTROYING college snowflake liberals? CANCELLING leftists? DEBUNKING... WRECKING... etc. Enter stage left: (un)intellectual 🥴🤟🏼 In this episode we *attempt to* untangle (yeah we are not quite confident enough to say DESTROY lol) some of the common cases made against the LGBT community.



Oh and here are the studies we referenced during the podcast:

1. Adoption statistics for LGBT families (https://www.lifelongadoptions.com/lgbt-adoption/lgbt-adoption-statistics)

2. The Importance of Fathers in the Healthy Development of Children (https://www.childwelfare.gov/pubPDFs/fatherhood.pdf) 

3. Evidence that children growing up with gay / lesbian parents do not differ emotionally from children with heterosexual parents (https://www.aacap.org/AACAP/Families_and_Youth/Facts_for_Families/FFF-Guide/Children%20with%20Lesbian,%20Gay-Bisexual-and-Transgender-Parents-92.aspx); and here is the report that stated that LGBT parents face more stress (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6309949/). 

4. However, this report outlines some 'risks experienced by children who were deprived of growing up in a home with both biological parents who were married to each other' (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4771005/).

5. 2009 American Psychological Association report on how there is insufficient evidence that sexual orientation change efforts - AKA conversion "therapy" - work (https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2009/08/therapeutic)

6. Study on transgender individuals & suicide (https://escholarship.org/uc/item/8xg8061f)
