Dr. Suzanne Johnson , Professor of Psychology, was interviewed by CNN for a segment on same sex marriage and parenting that was scheduled to appear on the national news network on Friday, November 21 and Saturday, November 22.

Dr. Suzanne M. Johnson and co-author of "The Gay Baby Boom," was also featured in the Personal Health section of the July 1st issue of The New York Times. Dr. Johnson and Dr. O’Connor (co-author and life partner) conducted extensive research in 1999 and 2000 representing the largest national assessment of families headed by lesbians and gay men.

This study found that "the percentage of children raised by gay parents who turn out gay is no higher than that among children raised by straight parents. -- nor is the percentage of couples who break up after creating a family any higher among gays than among heterosexual couples," said Dr. Johnson.

Dr. Johnson also coauthored "For Lesbian Parents: Your Guide to Helping Your Family Grow UP Happy, Healthy and Proud," published in 2001.
