This study aimed (i) to explore differenc parenthood tentns as a functn of sexual orientatn, (ii) to vtigate to what extent socmographic and psychologil characteristics predict parenthood tentns of lbian, gay, bisexual (LGB), and heterosexual dividuals, (iii) to tt the mediatg effect of stigma between sexual orientatn and parenthood tentns, and (iv) to intify and characterize profil of prospective parenthood (through clter analysis).

IS BARBIE GAY AND WHY IS THE NEW MOVIE RATED PG-13?

(2019) nceptualized the “homonormative fay mol” which clus a same-sex monogamo uple wh Portugal, bills favor of LGB dividuals’ parental rights are very recent: adoptn by same-sex upl and public fund accs to ART for all women, irrpective of their sexual orientatn, relatnal stat, and fertily stat were only approved 2016.

Invtigatg attus toward same-sex adoptive fai among Portugue stunts om the helpg profsns, Gato and Fontae (2016, 2017) found an associatn between heterosexism and negative attus toward adoptn by lbian women and gay men. Not surprisgly, the appreciatn of children as an enrichg factor one’s life is an important parental motivatn factor intified both among heterosexual persons (Dn, 1995; Langridge et al., 2005; Cassidy and Strovani, 2008) and lbian women and gay men (Siegenthaler and Bigner, 2000; Bos et al., 2003; Goldberg et al., 2012). To our knowledge, published studi have not yet examed leage nsiratn as a factor for gay men or bisexual SupportThe availabily of people wh personal social works who n offer fort, love, and enuragement is of the utmost important for the well-beg of all dividuals (Sarason et al., 1983).

ITALY BEGS REMOVG GAY MOTHERS OM CHILDREN’S BIRTH CERTIFIT

Other studi suggt that after beg parents, lbian women and gay men report, on the one hand, enhancement of the relatnal bonds wh their parents (DeMo et al., 2007; Bergman et al., 2010; Goldberg and Smh, 2011) and, on the other hand, an creased distance toward the LGBT muny (Gabb, 2004; Mallon, 2004; Giano, 2008; Simon et al., 2019). Acrdg to the thors, the rults seemed to reflect the social and legal climate Italy, where negative attus toward lbian and gay parenthood prevailed, and where seemed unlikely the near future for same-sex upl to accs rights to civil partnerships and legal marriage, foster re, or adoptn.

Some studi have shown that lbian women and gay men differ their parenthood tentns: lbian women reported both greater sire for parenthood and more tent than did their male peers (Riskd and Patterson, 2010; Bac and Laghi, 2013). Furthermore, gay men who sired to bee a parent were ls likely than heterosexual men to tend to have children, whereas this discrepancy was not observed among lbian women (Riskd and Patterson, 2010; Bac and Laghi, 2013). Furthermore, gay men are perceived as not only challengg the stereotype of men wh mastream culture but also wh the norms surroundg gay culture, which until recently has been ee of parenthood ncerns (Mallon, 2004; Schacher et al., 2005; Stacey, 2006; Salvati et al., 2019).

CHARLIE KIRK CLAIMS DISNEY IS TRYG TO MAKE YOUR CHILDREN GAY

Patterson and Riskd (2010) further have suggted that a lack of faiary wh alternate paths to parenthood uld be volved the reticence of gay men pared to lbian the Uned Stat, younger dividuals are more likely to report that they tend to bee parents (Williams et al., 1999).

THE STORY BEHD THE INIC PHOTO OF GAY DADS KISSG

Sexual orientatn was asssed wh a tegoril measure that asked participants to intify as heterosexual, bisexual, lbian, or gay: 44 fed themselv as lbian women, 78 as gay men, 59 as bisexual women, 7 as bisexual men, 113 as heterosexual women, and 73 as heterosexual men.

ProcreData were llected on-le om April to June 2015, as part of a larger study, “Lbian, gay, and bisexual parenthood: Psychologil termants and experienc the social ntext, ” and given ethil approval by the stutnal review board of the host stutn.

Hypothis 1 was th further spect differenc parenthood tentns as functn of all groups nsired (lbian women, bisexual women, gay men, bisexual men, heterosexual women, and heterosexual men), and given imbalanc the number of participants each group, we employed the Kskal-Wallis non-parametric tt to evaluate differenc among the six groups on median change parenthood tentns.

CHILDREN OF LBIAN AND GAY PARENTS

Pairwise parisons revealed differenc between (i) lbian women and gay men, (ii) gay men and heterosexual men, and (iii) gay men and heterosexual women (a Bonferroni rrectn was applied ntrollg for Type I error across tts). In turn, gay men showed lower levels of parenthood tentn when pared to heterosexual dividuals (Figure 1) plot of the distributn of parenthood tentns among heterosexual women, lbian women, bisexual women, heterosexual men, gay men, and bisexual men.

However, the hypothis that sexual mory dividuals may not feel as socially prsured to have children should also not be disrd as a potential explanatn of the mon wh studi Italy and the Uned Stat, Portugue lbian women the current study reported higher levels of parenthood tent than did gay men (Riskd and Patterson, 2010; Bac and Laghi, 2013). The fact that lbian women reported higher levels of parenthood tent than did gay men may be attributed to the blogil possibily of pregnancy and perhaps genred views of parentg as a feme doma (Dalton and Bielby, 2000; Epste, 2002; Benson et al., 2005; Wall, 2007; Pelka, 2009; Hicks, 2013), prejudice agast gay men as ndidat for parenthood (Mallon, 2004; Schacher et al., 2005; Stacey, 2006; Berkowz and Marsigl, 2007; Gross, 2012), and a lack of faiary wh alternate rout to parenthood the se of gay men (Patterson and Riskd, 2010). This way, genred views of parentg as a feme doma (Dalton and Bielby, 2000; Epste, 2002; Benson et al., 2005; Wall, 2007; Pelka, 2009; Hicks, 2013) as well as prejudice agast gay male (prospective) parents (Mallon, 2004; Schacher et al., 2005; Stacey, 2006; Berkowz and Marsigl, 2007; Gross, 2012) might acunt for genr differenc the parenthood tent of sexual mory dividuals.

The anizatn they dreamed up that day, which started as a sgle support group Manhattan, was ially lled Parents of Gays; later, was renamed Parents FLAG, for Parents and Friends of Lbians and Gays; nowadays, is known only as PFLAG. The same year Avril was born, Morty’s psychiatrist summoned Jeanne and Jul to his office and rmed them that their beloved goln boy and sole survivg son was the bt of her knowledge, Jeanne Manford had never known anyone who was gay.

Polil anizg was virtually impossible—one early gay-rights group that attempted to officially rporate New York was told that s mere existence would vlate state sodomy laws—and posive cultural reprentatn was all but nonexistent; there were no openly gay or lbian policians, punds, relig lears, actors, athlet, or micians the mastream.

In addn to Jeanne and Jul, Morty and Love were prent to answer qutns that the parents attendance might not be fortable askg their own dghters and the time, most parents of gay or lbian children were a supremely difficult posn.

When the prcipal of the elementary school where she worked told her that people were startg to talk and asked her to be more discreet, Jeanne rmed the woman that her profsnal life was one thg and her private life was another and that she would do as she, though, the people who reached out to the Manfords and to Parents of Gays were lookg for help or muny or a balm for heartbreakg pa.
