While the decline in LGBTQI+ rights is declining in several countries including Italy, a study, noted by Neon, sheds light on the development of children raised in same-parent homes. is formal: having gay, lesbian or transgender parents has no impact on the child’s well-being.
To conduct this survey published in the magazine BMJ Global Health, Researchers from Guangxi Medical University, China, and Duke University School of Medicine, USA, sifted through 34 studies published between 1988 and 2022, conducted in countries where homosexuality is legal.
Children benefit in some cases
And in these countries where the life context of these families is considered rather favourable, the study is based on eleven levers: the psychological adaptation of children, physical health, behaviors linked to gender roles, gender identity and sexual orientation, education level, parents’ mental health as well as their stress status, parent-child relationship, parental couple relationship, family functioning and finally social support.
In some areas, such as the psychological adjustment of children (particularly preschoolers) and parent-child relationships, it appears that the results would be better in homoparental families, according to the study.
” Growing up with parents from sexual minorities can confer certain advantages on children. They have been described as more tolerant of diversity and more attentive to young children than children of heterosexual parents “, the researchers explained in a press release. »
