Abstract

Understanding the dynamics of the functioning of families composed of couples of gay and lesbian people in a constantly changing social scenario may assist in the development of interventions in clinical and school contexts. It is in response to this need that this chapter aimed to analyze the possible associations between coparenting, parenting, affectivity, and conflict in gay and lesbian parents, here called homoparental families. To this end, a descriptive, quantitative, cross-sectional, and correlational study was carried out with 42 Brazilians, 11 of whom were gay and 31 of whom were lesbians. These participants answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Parenting Practices Scales, The Coparenting Inventory for Parents and Adolescents (CI-PA), and the Familiogram Test. The results pointed to high levels of coparental cooperation and low levels of conflict and coparental triangulation, high levels of affectivity, and low levels of conflict and prevalence of positive parental educational practices in gay and lesbian parents, indicating good levels of family functionality. It is hoped that the evidence can help professionals from different fields, including both clinical and school settings, to develop effective interventions that really meet the needs of these families.
