“We have pointed this out repeatedly, yet to our dismay we continue to see our 2002 research mischaracterized by some opponents of same-sex marriage.” - Carol Emig, president of Child Trends.My beautiful gay community, this is huge and if it does not receive as much or more attention than Jodie Foster's speech at the Golden Globes, well then I guess we can point out a problem as to why things are so difficult in the fight for equality.
Editor's note - Distorting legitimate research for their own ends is an unfortunate hallmark of religious right groups. Pages 8 - 10 of my booklet, How They See Us, spotlights 12 times in which religious right groups have engaged in this specious practice.

Gotta love it. The Prop 8 proponents' case relies heavily on their ability to disprove the claim that they are motivated by animus towards gay people. So in an effort to do so, they submit research - blatantly misrepresented to demonize gay people - thus proving that they are indeed motivated by animus towards gay people. That's quite a strategy they have there. Olson and Boies should put them on the payroll.
