Is it true that children raised by same-sex parents face more bullying?
Unclear. No retrieved item measures bullying rates for children of same-sex parents. A few reviews note these children face unique social challenges such as homophobia while reporting overall outcomes comparable to or better than peers, which only indirectly bears on the claim.
