Highly unusual: University of Texas - Austin renounces the biased, flawed anti-gay research of its professor, Mark Regnerus

From University of Texas - Austin:

Like all faculty, Dr. Regnerus has the right to pursue his areas of research and express his point of view. However, Dr. Regnerus’ opinions are his own. They do not reflect the views of the Sociology Department of The University of Texas at Austin. Nor do they reflect the views of the American Sociological Association, which takes the position that the conclusions he draws from his study of gay parenting are fundamentally flawed on conceptual and methodological grounds and that findings from Dr. Regnerus’ work have been cited inappropriately in efforts to diminish the civil rights and legitimacy of LBGTQ partners and their families. We encourage society as a whole to evaluate his claims.

Professor Regnerus' 'research' is being cited in Russia, Africa and other places to justify anti-gay legislation and violence.  It was funded by virulently anti-gay organizations.  And he has stated that he is personally against same-sex marriage and feels that same-sex couples are less than ideal parents.
