Sorry, but it was actually Franken who messed up here.
Al correctly read the report's definition of nuclear family, which defined it as consisting of married couples with natural or adoptive children, etc. But think about it. Since gay marriage is illegal under the DOMA-- which is what they were meeting about today-- as well as most state laws, especially in 2010, that means by necessity all "married" couples must be straight so far. That is if they are "married" by definition.
There's no other way right now. So the 2010 study indeed was referring to conventional straight marriages. It had to by definition. Which means the Focus on the Family guy was technically correct-- as far as it goes.
Think about it.
