In this study we explored the attitudes and beliefs of nine heterosexual adults towards gay male and female couples parenting children. We conceptualised participants' perceptions as one primary lens through which gay parenting is viewed. Based on the narratives provided, this lens comprised hetero-normative, homophobic or heterosexist assumptions and coloured the way in which participants perceived aspects of the concept of gay couples parenting children. At times, participants attempted to adjust their primary lens and adopt different views that initially suggested ambivalence and sometimes contradictory positions. Despite the range of attitudes and assumptions about same-sex parenting, consensus over the potential negative developmental impact on children raised by same-sex parents remained evident. Evidence suggests that same-sex parenting is already a reality in Westernised nations and has little or no bearing on the sexual orientation of children. However, concern that children be brought up with every opportunity to 'become' heterosexual, whether they are the product of same-sex or opposite-sex parents, remains evident.
在这项研究中，我们探讨了九位异性恋成年人对男同性恋和女同性恋夫妇养育孩子的态度和信念。我们将参与者的看法视为看待同性恋育儿的主要视角。基于提供的叙述，这个视角包括异性恋规范、恐同或异性恋偏见，影响了参与者对同性恋夫妇养育孩子这一概念的看法。有时，参与者试图调整他们的主要视角，采取最初表现出矛盾和有时相互矛盾的观点。尽管对同性育儿有各种各样的态度和假设，但对同性父母抚养的孩子可能产生的发展负面影响的共识仍然明显。有证据表明，同性育儿在西方化国家已经成为现实，对孩子的性取向几乎没有影响。然而，人们仍然担心，无论是同性恋还是异性恋父母的孩子，都应该有机会被抚养成为异性恋，这一点仍然很明显。
