LGBT parenting

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lesbian couple with children

LGBT parenting is about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people raising one or more children as parents or foster care parents. This includes: children raised by same-sex couples, children raised by single LGBT parents, and children raised by an opposite-sex couple where at least one partner is LGBT.[1]

This has been controversial since some critics believe that children raised with LGBT parents might develop mental issues; however this is not scientifically proven.[2]
