Jordan Peterson holds biology to be very important. You will just prove him right if you try to use this against him.

Nah, if you ask about gay parents, he'll rant about research comparing "intact heterosexual 2-parent households" to 1-parent households (as if the main diff isn't economics, but having role models of both sexes) and imply that, ceteris paribus, gay parents can't be as good

Just because this research shows that children of gay parents following normal dress codes doesn't mean that they are not more prone to suicide and depression.

If the data shows that what he said is correct then what is the problem? You control for education level, wealth and other relevant factors of the parents so that you get accurate effects of 2 same gender parents vs the normal parenting..

They are as well adjusted as their peers in the best available data. As much as I respect Peterson, if he says otherwise, he's wrong. Although, effects of parenting on psychological traits are ALWAYS negligible; saying otherwise is usually a fallacy of the "nurture" fraction.

He says something about families where the father is missing, not necessarily from the home the kids are growing but from the environment too. That is, even if a father is not present in the house, having fathers around, like friends, is beneficial.

Given the fact that there is now overwhelming evidence from several large scale studies and meta-analyses for these kids being well adjusted, the debate seems idle. Also, parenting doesn't affect personality: https://plus.google.com/101046916407340625977/posts/NzThLg3Tz5v …

the assumptions of the twin method would have to hold for that claim to be justified

What assumption is that? That people with the same DNA will have identical personalities if raised in the same environment?

genetic interpretations of MZ/DZ differences are premised on the assumption that MZ's and DZ's are perfectly correlated vis-a-vis their environmental experiences

The research cited here doesn't even use the twin method. It is based on adoptive siblings and "normal" siblings.

there's no reason to accept genetic interpretations of adoptee correlations either
