To identify whether the LGBT community desires to start a family and the major challenges they experience, especially in regards to assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures in Brazil.
This cross-sectional study invited individuals Brazilian, identified themselves as cisgender, and homosexual (male and female); aged 18-60, the study used an online questionnaire distributed through various platforms.
Of the 698 respondents, mostly educated and Caucasian, 86.7% were female. While 69% expressed same-sex orientation, many were in long-term relationships. Family acceptance varied, with financial barriers (69.3%) and societal prejudices (73.1%) being significant concerns. Despite a desire for children (92% were childless), only 10% consulted infertility specialists, and 66.5% were unaware of ART legislation. Emotionally, 51.1% felt unprepared for parenthood. While societal acceptance of non-heteronormative families is perceived to be increasing (53%), unequal healthcare treatment (73.1%) and societal pressures (20% felt pressured towards adoption) remain prevalent.
Over 90% of LGBT individuals contemplate having biological or adoptive children. There's notable ignorance about legislation and ART. Financial hurdles in ART are significant but manageable with proper planning. Prejudice also strongly influences their lives.
确定巴西的LGBT群体是否渴望组建家庭以及他们所面临的主要挑战，特别是在辅助生殖技术（ART）程序方面。
这项横断面研究邀请了自称是顺性别者且为同性恋（男性和女性）的巴西人；年龄在18 - 60岁之间，该研究使用通过各种平台分发的在线问卷。
在698名受访者中，大多数是受过教育的白种人，86.7%为女性。虽然69%表示有同性取向，但许多人处于长期关系中。家庭接受程度各不相同，经济障碍（69.3%）和社会偏见（73.1%）是重大担忧。尽管渴望生育子女（92%无子女），但只有10%咨询过不孕不育专家，66.5%不了解ART相关立法。在情感方面，51.1%觉得没有为为人父母做好准备。虽然社会对非异性恋家庭的接受度被认为在提高（53%），但不平等的医疗待遇（73.1%）和社会压力（20%在收养方面感到有压力）仍然普遍存在。
超过90%的LGBT个体考虑生育亲生孩子或收养孩子。对相关立法和ART存在明显的无知。ART中的经济障碍很大，但通过适当规划是可以应对的。偏见也对他们的生活产生强烈影响。
