Children from same-sex families may demonstrate greater tolerance for diversity and more consideration of others.
A new study shows that children who grow up in same-sex families are not at a disadvantage compared with those raised by heterosexual couples. As such, contrary to popular belief, gender identity does not have a negative effect on child development. As published in the journal “BMJ Global Health”, the study was conducted by researchers from Guangxi Medical University in China and Duke University School of Medicine in the United States. They set out to examine this as, in many cultures, the number of children raised by families composed of homosexual, bisexual, transgender or queer parents has increased in recent years.
In France, for instance, nearly 305,000 people comprising same-sex couples were cohabiting in 2020, compared with 170,000 in 2011 – an 80% increase. Among them, 27% of female couples and 6% of male couples live with at least one child under age 18. The authors examined 34 studies published between 1988 and 2022 and conducted in countries where homosexuality is legal. These studies compared the development of children raised by heterosexual parents with those raised by lesbian and gay parents.The studies were classed according to 11 main themes:
