In recent years, the American legal system has increasingly recognized LGBT and queer parents, granting them enforceable parental rights and responsibilities towards their children. This includes increased legal recognition of queer parents who are not biologically related to their children. But despite great strides forward in LGBT civil rights law, not all queer parents are created equal. Queer parents who are not married to their partners, parents in couples where neither partner physically gave birth to their children, and polyamorous parents who choose to raise children with two or more other people, all face greater difficulties in establishing legal parenthood—and their legal rights vary widely from state to state. At the same time, the rights of queer parents sometimes come into conflict with the rights of their children—particularly in families formed via assisted reproductive technology (“ART”). Queer parents and their children have been crucial to the success of the LGBT civil rights movement. Many of the foundational Supreme Court cases that articulate constitutional rights for same-sex couples make reference to the children of such couples reflecting an increased social awareness that queer parents have already existed for a long time, perhaps living side-by-side with straight families and sending their children to the same schools.
