Do you see that it says nothing about gay parents or same gender role models? That is because, by their own words, the Prince's Trust Macquarie Youth Index is about the overall happiness of young people. There are numerous factors taken into consideration as to why the various young people are or are not happy. While positive role models is one of the things brought up in the 2011 Index, it is only one. In fact, the report indicates that being in education, employment or training has the greatest effect on the happiness of the youths involved....So, no, the survey is NOT about same gender role models.
I explained that role models are only one part of the 2011 Youth Index. I read that report, as well as a couple of the more recent ones, but I get the impression you have not. I'll repeat this on the off chance you actually read these posts instead of just automatically replying with the same tired, repetitive crap : The Prince's Trust Youth Index is about overall happiness. How positive role models relate to that is only one aspect of the overall report. The report is NOT simply about same gender role models. If you think it is, you have not actually read the report you've linked over and over again.

It absolutely was about children growing up without same gender roles:
FROM THE ACTUAL PRINCE'S TRUST STUDY:
Page 8 (the left side on the green background)
In addition to indexing the happiness and wellbeing of young people, the report explores some significant demographic differences between young people. They include a comparison between those not in education employment or training with their peers...those without a positive role model of their gender in their lives (women without a positive female role model and men without a positive male role model) and their peers...those with fewer than five GCSEs graded A* to C (or equivalent) with their peers... Respondents are asked how happy and confident they are in different areas of their life. The responses are converted to a numerical scale, resulting in a number out of 100-- with 100 representing entirely happy or confident and zero being not at all happy or confident.

Young people without a role model of the same gender in their lives
The Prince's Trust study is the largest of its kind. Not like the APA that likes theirs small and very easy to "extrapolate from for public consumption"..Again, brought to you by the American Psychological Association (APA):
"Consensual Qualitative Research: A Practical Resource for Investigating Social Science Phenomena...consensual qualitative research (CQR). CQR is an 1 inductive method that is characterized by 2 open-ended interview questions, 3 small samples, a 4 reliance on words over numbers, the importance of context, an integration of multiple viewpoints, and consensus of the research team Consensual Qualitative Research A Practical Resource for Investigating Social Science Phenomena "
Your reply here confirms what I have been saying, that the Index is not about same gender role models, that is merely one part of it. Your quote from page 8 clearly states that those not in education, employment or training are another part, despite your attempt to cloud that with your selective use of bold font. But, despite the fact you've proven me correct with your own quotes, both that role models are not what the report is about and that the report discusses positive role models, not simply any role models, you continue to repeat the same things.
It is entirely clear that you comprehend neither the report you are quoting nor the posts you respond to.
