Resumo: |
The homoparental family is one of the forms of family that, in postmodern society, has increased and gained more visibility. However, it still experiences prejudice, and homoparental competence to raise children and the possible compromising of their affective and sexual development are reasons for doubt and discussions. This research aimed to understand how couples who define themselves as homoaffective, that is, couples of gays and lesbians who maintain a stable relationship, experience the daily family life and the exercise of parenthood. The qualitative methodology was used, and the interpretation of the participants’ narratives was based on the hermeneutics of Ricoeur, seeking the co-construction of meaning in the dialogue with the researcher. Three couples of lesbians and three couples of gays participated in the study, totaling 12 people who defined themselves as homoaffective, in stable marital relationships and that had children. The discourses were obtained through dialogical interviews, recorded and transcribed, from which thematic analysis emerged categories and subcategories that allowed to understand that: the motivation to start a family is based on the belief that it is necessary and desirable, bringing a sense of social belonging, especially through children; the sense of family is not tied to its configuration, nor to the parents sexual orientation, but to what is lived in it; the way relationships are built; parenting is prioritized as well as the provision of the children’s needs; according to those parents, children give the family a positive meaning way showed by daily life, according to what they see in everyday life, and this valorization helps in the confrontation of social prejudice; the possibility of those parents being influences in the definition of the future sexual orientation of the children is shifted to other figures of the family, their relationships or the community; domestic activities are divided according to availability and exclude the gender criterion; parental competence is not defined by the parents gender (father or mother), however, they understand that, for society, lesbians are more apt and competent in raising children; homoconjugality was the object of prejudice coming from the families of origin, however, homoparentality minimized it; children were the sources of approximation between homoparental family and family of origin since they made possible the amplification of the kinship ties and favored the assumption of new positions/identities as grandparents, uncles and cousins. In the social environment and at school, there were some experiences of acceptance, but also of both explicit and veiled prejudices; the same was true for the judiciary. It was possible to observe that, although they do not always admit or perceive, the partners in several situations reproduce almost compulsorily the heteronormativity, which runs counter to the idea that there is something specific in the exercise of homoparentality due to the sexual orientation of the parents |
