Dinámica familiar ante la revelación de la orientación homosexual de los hijos/as
Isabel Luján Henríquez / Ana M. Tamarit Rovira . pp. 301-308
Abstract
This research was to find out how it looks influenced family dynamics when the children reveal their homosexual orientation.
To do so, did a semi-structured interview to parents whose children are gay or lesbian. This interview contained a series of questions related to the reaction and action within the family before the manifestation of homosexuality from their children.
The results suggest that each one of the families comes to homosexuality from their children in a diverse way, while it is true that coincide in thoughts, feelings and actions. The most striking fea-ture is that in all families, initially will react negatively and manifests an open rejection and conceal-ment of this fact. With the passage of time the situation and family relations improve although par-ents continue to have difficulties to integrate and accept as normal and continue hiding socially the sexual orientation of their children.
