Abstract

MARTINEZ, Ana Laura Moraes. Homoparental families: are they that different. Psicol. rev. (Belo Horizonte) [online]. 2013, vol.19, n.3, pp.371-388. ISSN 1677-1168.  https://doi.org/DOI-10.5752/P.1678-9563.2013v19n3p371.

The present article, based on observations derived from two case studies, approaches the complex and actual discussion about homoparental families. I discuss some of these families' fantasized and social fears, some of which are the blaring differences between sexes and the fear that a child raised in a homoparental family might become homosexual. I also indicate that emotional problems found in homoparental families are no different from those found in heterosexual families, proposing a reflection on the similarities rather than on the differences between these two kinds of family configurations. I emphasize that a deeper and careful look at homoparental families, on their similarities and differences with other family configurations, is essential to question prejudiced views that are maintained and disseminated in the social environment of these families
