Explores the problems and benefits that may occur in families in which a parent is homosexual. Relevant research is reviewed and critiqued in discussing the legal and developmental questions that are often raised concerning the impact that a parent's homosexuality has on his/her children. In addition, the qualitative relationship between the parent and child is examined, including a discussion of the role of the nongay parent and the importance of self-disclosure. Suggestions for working with families and gay parents are presented. (21 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
