 A STUDY ON SOCIETIES OPINION ABOUT GAY PARENTING AND
THEIR CHILDREN IN INDIA
AUTHOR:M.GUNASUNDARI 1
CO-AUTHOR:Y ALWIN FREDRICK 2

ABSTRACT :
It is hard to get a precise count of same-sex parent families on the grounds that numerous
lesbians and gay men are not open with regards to their sexual direction because of fears of
separation, like loss of business, loss of kid care, and antigay savagery. There is certifiably not a
"standard thing" gay family. Some same-sex couples might choose to include a youngster inside
their relationship, while others might bring kids from past heterosexual or same-sex associations.
The ascent in same-sex nurturing is somewhat because of the increment in choices accessible for
same-sex couples to become parents. Albeit most offspring of same-sex couples are organic
offspring of one of the parents, a developing number are the after effect of contributor
insemination, surrogacy, child care and reception. More distant family might see nurturing as a
fundamental stage in approving a relationship for same-sex couples or they might see nurturing
with comparative one-sided and biased perspectives, in any event, denying one parent's
relationship to the youngsters. The primary data which has been analysed using Frequencies,
lSPSS. The secondary data is collected from journals, articles, e-sources and books. An empirical
study is done where the samples are collected by using probability sampling and convenient
sampling methods. Samples of approximately 200 respondents are collected. The findings were
that there is an association between the respondents about the same sec parenting and their
childrens. The outcome from the graphs shows that the childrens of same sex parents are facing
problems with social relationships. The aim of the research is to know if there is any difference
in parenting of samesex children. The conclusion of this study is that the society should change
the view on same sex parenting.

INTRODUCTION:

In the course of recent many years the quantity of youngsters experiencing childhood in
LGBTQ-parent families has expanded drastically inside the setting of moving socio political and
lawful environments all over the planet, more positive mentalities toward different family
frames, and extended admittance to helped multiplication innovation and reception. Among
assorted LGBTQ-parent family structures, lesbian and gay stepfamily courses of action shaped
post heterosexual relationship,disintegration probably address the most well-known
development. In spite of winning assumptions, early investigations with moms who came out as
lesbians showed that they were similarly prone to have great psychological wellness and positive
associations with their kids as were heterosexual moms, and that their kids were not any more
liable to show passionate and conduct hardships, horrible showing at school, or abnormal sex job
conduct than were youngsters with heterosexual parents. A few kids don't realize they have a
LGBT parent; coming out issues differ and a few guardians may never uncover to their
youngsters that they recognize as LGBT. Appropriately, how youngsters react to their LGBT
parent(s) coming out has essentially nothing to do with their sexual direction or sex ID of
decision, yet rather with how either parent reacts to demonstrations of coming out; for example
regardless of whether there is disintegration of parental associations or rather in the event that
guardians keep a solid, open, and open relationship subsequent to coming out or during progress
on account of trans parents. Numerous lesbian, gay, sexually open, and transsexual individuals
are parents. Transsexual families can encounter remarkable prevailing difficulty. Thusly,
transsexual parents might encounter stressors or hindrances identifying with their sexual
orientation progress, which can affect their general relational peculiarities and can impact results
for transsexual individuals. Numerous trans people refer to, since their more youthful years, not
having any desire to have youngsters or become pregnant because of the body and sex dysphoria
that goes with childbearing. This relates back toward a huge issue for trans people even in a non-
nurturing setting, since quite a bit of how society sees sexual orientation doesn't leave a
space for trans people. In October 2017, the Karnataka Government gave the "State Policy for
Transgenders, 2017", determined to bring issues to light of nurturing transsexual individuals
inside all instructive establishments in the state. Instructive organizations will resolve issues of
viciousness, misuse and oppression transsexual individuals and their childrens. It likewise settled
a checking advisory group planned with exploring reports of segregation and different issues
connected with it. The latest thing is that Fifteen percent (14.7%) of the 1.1 million same-sex
couples in the United States in 2019 had no less than one youngster under 18 in their family,
contrasted and 37.8% of other gender couples, as per a U.S. Registration Bureau investigation of
Current Population Survey (CPS) information delivered for this present week. Same-sex couples
likewise would in general have more modest families. Among couples with youngsters, 54.7% of
same-sex couples just had one kid, contrasted and 39.2% of other gender couples. When
analyzed Hungaria which adversary of LGBTIQ+ law comes later the country had as of late
decided to blacklist allotments for same-sex couples in 2020. Indeed, nine European Union
nations deny receptions for same-sex couples. Adversaries of same-sex nurturing privileges
usually guarantee that growing up with same-sex guardians opens kids to a progression of
unfavorable life occasions. Equipped parenting might be affected by gay and lesbian guardians'
capacity to acknowledge and recognize their character and how they can arrange living in a
heterosexist, homophobic, or in any case prejudicial society, while raising their youngsters in a
nuclear family that isn't socially endorsed. It is frequently contended by lawmakers and strict
associations that youngsters with same-sex guardians would not profit from the variety in
nurturing styles distinctive sex guardians pass on, that kids might get less consideration as
guardians put more in the schooling of organic kids than non-natural kids, and that they might be
oppressed during youth . The aim of the study is to know if there is any difference in
parenting of samesex children.

OBJECTIVES:

● To know is their any difficulties faced by same sex childrens from the society.
● To identify is their any differences in the parenting of same sex child.
● To examine about the society’s view on same sex parents.
● To know the social relationships of same sex childrens.
REVIEW OF LITERATURE :

(Goldberg 2010)This paper presents data from a three year study on the relationship of
homosexual fathers with their children in an attempt to assess the nature and extent of these
concerns. Many families have skeletons in the closet. When the father of a family is homosexual
, the discreditable secret is best described as a closet within a closet. Both the father and mother
are reluctant to admit the situation to either outsiders or each other. Additional concerns arise
when children become aware of their father's stigmatized status.

(James)This paper says that an exceptionally enormous assortment of sociology research

returning many years has recorded the imperative and remarkable job of moms and of fathers in
youth advancement. These studies have likewise shown the negative mental, instructive, and
social consequences for youngsters who have been denied of experiencing childhood in a home
with both natural guardians who are hitched to one another.

(Clay 2010) In this article, It was examined the evidence from the social science regarding the
personal and social development of children with gay and lesbian parent . The paper reviewed
the research evidence on sexual identity. personal development, and social relationships among
children of gay and/or lesbian parents.

(Patterson2010) The study says that the children of gay and lesbian couples are something like
65% as prone to have moved on from secondary school similar to the children of wedded, other
gender couples. The young ladies are more adept to battle scholastically than the young men.
Girls of lesbian "parents" showed drastically lower graduation rates.

(KENDELL 2010)This study explored the effect of mothers' sexual orientation on three areas of
development in children of latency age: self-concept, locus of control orientation, and self and
familial views. Fifteen lesbian mother-child pairs and 15 heterosexual mother-child pairs
comprised the sample.

(Minter, Shannon 2010)The paper says gay couples seek to marry for the same reasons to
permit sex-based restrictions on primary victims of this unequal treatment. In consequence, up
until the past few decades, many lesbians and gay men who wished to become parents entered
into marriage as a means to an end, as this was the only well-known route to parenthood.

.(Castle, Terry 2003)This paper examined whether the young ladies are more well-suited to
battle scholastically than the young men. Little girls of lesbian "parents" showed drastically
lower graduation rates. Three key discoveries hung out in this review: children of wedded, other
gender parents have a high graduation rate contrasted with the others; children of lesbian families
have an exceptionally low are like one another and fall between the limits of wedded hetero
parents and lesbian couples.
 (Goldberg and Moyer 2014 )These examinations guarantee that no mental harm happens to
children who were purposely denied of the advantages of sex complementarity in a home with a
dad and a mother. This article depends exclusively on self-reports of the lesbian moms who
knew about the political plan behind the review.

(Maya and Ben-Ari 2021) The Findings of the study is that the relationship between youngster
results and same-sex family structure, the analysts observed that contrasted and conventional
wedded families, children being raised by same-sex couples were 35% more averse to gain
ordinary headway through school. This distinction is genuinely huge at the 1% level.

(Ryan and Brown 2011) This paper aims to solve the issue of gay parenting is one that is both
highly current, in terms of media interest and political controversy, and historic, in that
individuals with nonheterosexual attractions, identities, and behaviors have always been parents.
(Parker, n.d.) This paper says homosexuality and the family have often been viewed as
incompatible and exclusive categories, and social and political rhetoric has perpetuated a myth of
lesbians and gay men as “antifamily.”

(National Adoption Information Clearinghouse 2000) The paper discoveries three key which
was hung out in this review: children of wedded, other gender parents have a high graduation
rate contrasted with the others; children of lesbian families have an exceptionally low graduation
rate contrasted with the others; and children in the other four kinds of living plans (precedent-
based marriage, gay couple, single parent, and single parent) are like one another and fall
between the limits of wedded hetero parents and lesbian couples. hung out .

(Hank and Salzburger 2014) This book says that homosexuality had a fairly defined identity, at
least as far as social authorities were concerned. It was pathological, criminal, immoral, and
sinful, even if certain families and communities made concessions to some gay and lesbian
people. Today, those unfavorable ideas of homosexuality have crumbled where they have not
altogether collapsed.

(Wiley Ruspini 2016) This paper aims about the Clinical experience and would propose that
motherlessness, while not concentrated as broadly as fatherlessness, causes considerably more
prominent harm to a youngster, on the grounds that the job of the mother is so critical in setting
up a kid's capacity to trust and to have a good sense of security seeing someone.

(Ruspini 2016) This paper demonstrates the by and large, youthful grown-ups considered
through manual semen injection were more befuddled, felt more separated from their families,
were encountering more mystic agony, and fared more awful in regions like wretchedness,
misconduct, and substance maltreatment than a matched gathering of children who were
imagined normally.
(Hank and Salzburger 2015) This paper says that children's relationships with their parents
play a crucial role in shaping their social, emotional, personal, and cognitive development, and
there is substantial literature documenting the adverse effects of disrupted parent-child
relationships on children’s development and adjustment.

(Patterson 1995) A Review of Daniel Winunwe opens out about the ladies whose normal age in
the two gatherings was 29 with gay or sexually unbiased dads experienced issues with grown-up
connection issues in three regions: 1.They were less OK with closeness and closeness; 2. They
Were less ready to trust and rely upon others; and 3. They encountered more nervousness seeing
someone contrasted with the ladies raised by hetero fathers and moms.

(Owens-Reid and Russo 2014b, [a] 2014) A Review of Golombok, Susan in “Adoptive Gay
Father Families” seen that as "children in same-sex parent families scored lower than their
friends residing in wedded, two-natural parent families" on two scholastic results. Potter inferred
that these distinctions can be credited to more elevated levels of family shakiness in living
together or "wedded" same-sex families, contrasted with unblemished, organic wedded parent
families.

(Wang et al. 2021) This paper concerning the ordinary school progress, children living in same-
sex families can be recognized measurably from those in conventional wedded homes and in
hetero living together families.

( Bauer et al. 2021) The paper says the LGBT-rights movement has been largely silent on the
topic of LGBT elders and issues related to aging. Lesbian and gay parents figured prominently in
the most visible gay rights issue of our time—access to marriage. Although only about 16–18
percent of same-sex couples are raising children.

between 25 to 60 were higher in number when compared to the respondents of other two age
groups which are 18 to 25 and Above 60. And here with the comparison the respondents of the
age group from 18 to 25 were lowest in number.From Figure: 02 The pie chart represents the
educational qualification of the respondents. Here the respondents who pursued till
undergraduate were higher in number of 126 and the respondents who pursued till postgraduate
were fewer in number of 26 then the respondents who pursued till schooling were the second

respondents of the age group between 25 to 60 were rated around 9 with the count of 19 which
was the highest response compared with other responses and the respondents of age group
between 18 to 25 responded the rating of 7 with the count of 17 which was the highest from that
group of respondents. From Figure: 06 The outcome of the bar graph shows that the

DISCUSSION:

Here from the pic charts it shows the analysis of age group, educational qualification, gender and
the occupation were taken. From Fig.01 Here the respondents of the age group between 25 to 60
were higher in number and the second highest number of responses were from the respondents of
the age group between 25 to 60. The Third highest responses were from the respondents of the
age group above 60. Then the lowest number of responses were from the respondents of the age
group below 18.Fig.02 The respondents who pursued till undergraduate were higher in number
when compared to the respondents who pursued till postgraduate and schooling.Fig.03 The male
respondents were higher in number and the female respondents were second higher in number
when compared to the other respondents.Fig.04 The respondents who work in the private sector
were higher in number when compared to the respondents who worked in the government sector
and are self -employed. Fig.05, 08, 11 The bar graph represents about the questionnaire whether
children of homosexual parents face problem with social relationship and was compared to the
independent variables of age, gender and occupation. The outcome shows the highest rating of 7
to 8 from the respondents of all age groups and the lowest response was from the rating of 3 to 2.
And the yes response was highest from all the respondents who work in all sectors. The male
respondents were highest and rated around 8 to 9 and the female respondents were lower
comparatively. Then the respondents who are self-employed are lowest in count. Thus it shows
that these children face problems with their social relationships. Fig.06, 09,12 The bar graph
represents about the questionnaire whether Childrens of same sex parents treated by other
Childrens which was compared to the independent variable. The outcome shows that the highest
rating was yes from all the age group respondents and the male and female respondents also
responded yes as the highest and the lowest response. Thus it shows that these childrens are
treated differently by society. Fig. 07,10 The bar graph represents about the questionnaire
whether children are sexually abused by the parent, children or others compared with
independent age, gender and the rating of 8 to 9 was the highest from all the age group
respondents ne the male respondents also responded with the highest rating. Thus it shows they
are being abused by their parents, children and friends..

LIMITATION :

One of the significant limits of this research paper is the sample size. There is a significant
requirement in the sample size as the information was gathered online from the respondents in
light of the current COVID circumstance. In this way, it was hard to extrapolate it to a bigger
populace and furthermore that the genuine and clear assessments of individuals stayed
unexpressed. Another restriction is the sample size was 200, which can't be utilized to predict the
thinking about the whole populace in a specific country or city. The actual elements have a
bigger effect.

CONCLUSION:

In accordance with the restored job of the continuously solid, independent mother who is integral
to the family, lesbian ladies have separately profited from the determination of various gentility
generalizations and the faith in their inborn limit with respect to youngster raising, which have
not been satisfactorily addressed and remain alive in the structures took on by laws. At last,
notwithstanding, and as far as their ramifications for day to day existence, these generalizations
and convictions contrarily sway sexual orientation uniformity For gay men who wish to become,
or are, fathers, that unacknowledged imbalance is agonizingly self-evident. As an ever increasing
number of gay men focus on their sexuality, the common models of manliness are reevaluated
and an adjustment of the procreative cognizance arises that places parenthood and fathering
wants progressively at the focal point of the male gay personality. Plainly countering the cases
by Weston that homosexuality was inconsistent with the family, in the United States of the 1980s
and 1990s, in late examinations male homosexuality and parenthood are not introduced as
commonly barring decisions. All things being equal, the longing to turn into a parent is guarded
as an authentic decision for gay men. Choosing to be a dad or not is arising as an innate part of
homosexuality, and that choice is introduced as 'individual decision' as in it is a choice that
reasserts one's actual personality. In this unique circumstance, all the while with the call for
systems that will make it simpler to get to parenthood, gay couples who request their entitlement
to become fathers and seek after parenthood in spite of the hardships confronted are uncovering
the holes in Spanish society regarding the redefinition of parenthood, manliness and the job of
men in youngster raising and care. The appalling presence of social shame on different social-
biological levels, steps can be taken forward to guarantee that all families, and in augmentation,
youngsters, can create inside certain and sustaining conditions, paying little mind to familial
design.
