Absolutely No - As in Zero - Cases of Abuse Reported in Lesbian Families

I wonder what percentage of fundie families report abuse?

As much as this is welcome news, the author's (of the article, not the actual study) egregious misuse of statistics makes me want to bang my head violently against a nearby hard surface. Because everybody knows that sample proportion equals population proportion, right? Now it just so happens that I'm in the middle of writing a Stat exam about confidence intervals and hypothesis testing, but that's beside the point.

I'm assuming the actual study won't make a claim as ridiculous as "lesbians don't beat or molest their kids." Not with a sample size of 78, anyway.

This. Like Tiggy, this info doesn't surprise me, but I'm always leery when someone claims any population is immune from abuse.

True. As has been mentioned previously, the sample size is too small. I liked the spirit of the article, though.
