“…The other study interviewed sexual minority migrants to sexual minority friendly countries in Europe who were married and/or raising children with a same-sex partner, and these migrant’s parents who lived in Central and Eastern European countries that prohibited same-sex marriage. Parents found it difficult to accept their adult child’s same-sex marriage, but the presence of grandchildren helped to facilitate acceptance [ 94 ].…”

et al. 2021

A growing body of literature provides important insights into the meaning and impact of the right to marry a same-sex partner among sexual minority people. We conducted a scoping review to 1) identify and describe the psychosocial impacts of equal marriage rights among sexual minority adults, and 2) explore sexual minority women (SMW) perceptions of equal marriage rights and whether psychosocial impacts differ by sex. Using Arksey and O’Malley’s framework we reviewed peer-reviewed English-language publications from 2000 through 2019. We searched six databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science, JSTOR, and Sociological Abstracts) to identify English language, peer-reviewed journal articles reporting findings from empirical studies with an explicit focus on the experiences and perceived impact of equal marriage rights among sexual minority adults. We found 59 studies that met our inclusion criteria. Studies identified positive psychosocial impacts of same-sex marriage (e.g., increased social acceptance, reduced stigma) across individual, interpersonal (dyad, family), community (sexual minority), and broader societal levels. Studies also found that, despite equal marriage rights, sexual minority stigma persists across these levels. Only a few studies examined differences by sex, and findings were mixed. Research to date has several limitations; for example, it disproportionately represents samples from the U.S. and White populations, and rarely examines differences by sexual or gender identity or other demographic characteristics. There is a need for additional research on the impact of equal marriage rights and same-sex marriage on the health and well-being of diverse sexual minorities across the globe.

“…Affiliate stigma (also known as courtesy stigma or stigma by association) is when a person associated with a sexual minority individual (e.g., a family member) perceives stigma related to their relationship with the marginalized person (Glennon, 2012). For example, a parent may conceal their child’s relationship from friends due to anticipated rejection, or feel concerned that extended family will refuse to attend their child’s same-sex wedding (Arm et al, 2009; Vuckovic Juros, 2020). These barriers can be conceptualized through the lens of secondary minority stress processes—that is, a parent’s experience of distal (e.g., exclusion) and proximal (e.g., expectations of rejection, internalized stigma) stressors that relate to being the family member of a sexual minority individual (Rith, 2017).…”

Couple and Family Psychology: Research and Practice

Researchers have identified a range of ways in which parents can support and reject a child's same-sex relationship; likewise, researchers have highlighted the importance of family support for same-sex relationships. Although a small number of intervention studies have been designed for parents of sexual minorities, there is little to no intervention research focused on parent support for same-sex relationships. This article uses the theory of planned behavior as an organizing framework to highlight relevant literature about predictors of behavioral change and applications to sexual minority populations. These findings are then applied toward specific clinical intervention strategies and suggested areas for intervention research regarding parent support for same-sex relationships. This represents a needed approach toward addressing minority stress and enhancing resilience in ways that extend beyond asking members of a same-sex relationship to cope with relationship-based minority stress. Implications for clinical work and future research are discussed.

“…Evidence within our review suggests that family members engage in person-centered counteractions such as emotion regulation (Butterfield and Padavic, 2014), seeking legal information (e.g., to protect their family or to regulate their emotions by looking for positive legal change in other countries; e.g., Dalton and Bielby, 2000;Short, 2007;Kazyak, 2015;Ollen and Goldberg, 2016), or questioning heteronormativity within legislation and family models (e.g., Hequembourg, 2004;Short, 2007;Rawsthorne, 2013;Zamperini et al, 2016;Vučković Juroš, 2019a).…”

The Legal Vulnerability Model for Same-Sex Parent Families: A Mixed Methods Systematic Review and Theoretical Integration

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Globally, parents and children in same-sex parent families are impacted by many laws related to the parental sexual orientation. These laws vary considerably from one country to another, ranging from full legal recognition to criminalization. The psychological consequences of living in an ambiguous or hostile legal climate likely interfere with parental health, family functioning, and child development. However, a systematic evidence synthesis of the pertinent literature and its placement within a broader psychological model are currently lacking. The aims of this review were thus (1) to systematically review qualitative and quantitative evidence on the impact of sexual orientation laws on same-sex parent families in key domains and (2) to place these findings within a broader model informed by minority stress and family theories. Our review was preregistered and conducted in line with PRISMA guidelines. We searched for qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods studies on the impact of sexual orientation laws on target outcomes (parental health, family functioning, child outcomes) via systematic database search (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science) and forward-backward searches. Fifty-five studies published between 1999 and 2020 were eligible for inclusion and were synthesized using a data-based convergent synthesis design. Thirteen descriptive and three overarching analytical themes were identified through thematic synthesis. Linking our findings with minority stress and family theories, we propose a novel legal vulnerability model for same-sex parent families. The model posits that legal vulnerability constitutes an increased risk for parental and child health as well as family functioning through individual and shared pathways between family members. Additionally, the model introduces counteractions that families engage in on the personal, familial, and systemic level to mitigate the impact of legal vulnerability, as well as moderators on the contextual, familial, couple, and individual level that modulate this impact. Implications for research and clinical practice are discussed.
