Without a reference to the specific study, it’s impossible to answer. You may just have witnessed (the 90s TV equivalent of) a clickbait style piece. Misrepresenting research, whether due to misunderstanding or deliberately, happens all the time.
It sounds like you didn’t personally look into the research in question, but you’re repeating a claim about it as though it were fact. That’s why this kind of misinformation is so prevalent.
- P5fRxh5kUvp2th 4y ago> I will never forget walking into the breakroom and on the television was an anchor reporting that studies had shown heterosexual couples were more likely to have children than homosexual couples. No reasonable person is going to read that and conclude I'm repeating a claim other than telling an anecdote. But having said that, yes it's obviously true in the same sense that "It smells when you poo" is obviously true.
