Newsstands have been treating GQ’s July cover, featuring a nude-but-not-all-hanging-out Sacha Baron Cohen is like porn. But a tipster at a Hudson News in Manhattan has noticed the decision has lead to some interesting juxtapositions. At left In this picture taken near Grand Central Station is an as-the-good-lord-made-her Bar Refaeli on the cover of Esquire. At right is dirty, dirty pornography.
Because women are supposed to be objectified, duh! When a naked man is on a magazine cover it’s all scandalous and gross and stuff.

Kids of Lesbians Less Likely to Have Mental Illness

Children with lesbian mothers have a lower risk of developing mental illnesses than those growing up with a father and a mother, according to a new University of Copenhagen study. The researchers found that during a 16-year period, five percent of children from traditional families in the study developed conditions such as depression or anorexia, versus two percent among the children of lesbian parents.

The researchers theorize that the challenges of lesbian parenthood may have given the moms and their children a certain resilience. “Resistance makes you stronger, and that could be passed on to their children.”

For all of the ultra-right angst that how children will develop poorly with same-sex parents, research like this indicates the truth is far different.
