Same-sex parenting

Common card · No. 367807

Same-sex parenting is parenting of children by same-sex couples generally consisting of homosexual or bisexual people who are often in civil partnerships, domestic partnerships, civil unions, or same-sex marriages. Opponents of same-sex parenting argue that it has an adverse impact on children. However, scientific research consistently shows that homosexual parents are as capable and fit as heterosexual parents and that children reared by homosexual parents are as psychologically healthy and well-adjusted as those reared by heterosexual parents. Major professional associations of physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, psychoanalysts, pediatricians, therapists, and social workers have not identified credible empirical research that suggests otherwise.
