This would be mostly wrong though. The link below is from The Atlantic of all place, looking at data over the past 30 years and piecing together a common thread: a high percentage, or in most cases a clear majority, of people who are in prison came from a divorced household. It doesn't matter if it's a single mother or single father at home, the rate of which these kids end up involved in crime, and prison, remains roughly the same.
Almost every study on this subject has shown that kids raised in divorced households are going to be disadvantaged in many ways. There's typically a lack of income, lack of stability, no one at home to enforce behaviors, etc etc etc
The problem in this country is that we've allowed this narrative of the "Awesome Single Mom" (or dad) to become something to be celebrated. It's not. If a mother happens to succeed in spite of things she can't control, such as her husband dying or being an abusive shithead, then fine- celebrate that. But we've decided that we're going to celebrate anyone/everyone who quits a marriage, not asking why or how, and not focus on the instant proven negative ramifications of that kid(s) being raised by one parent.
We've become a country where the "single working mother" is a superhero, and the happily married wife that stays home to raise a child is vilified as an anti-feminist traitor.
As to your question about lesbians; if there's 2 of them in a marriage and they're both raising a child, then hooray! We need more couples like this.
