Family researchers have cultivated a keen interest in the lives of individuals raised by gay and lesbian parents. Most of this research, however, focuses on childhood rather than later life stages. We suggest in this critical review that being raised by a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ) parent or parents has implications for adulthood and the life course more broadly. The complex landscapes that these individuals navigate, which include families, social networks, communities, regions, and the state, can create ambivalence in both relationships and institutional settings such as school and work. We identify four areas in which the life courses of these adult children become “queered,” even for those who do not identify as LGBTQ themselves: disclosure, discrimination, interpersonal and community relationships, and sexual citizenship. We identify elder care, health, and new nonnormative family formations as important areas for future research.

LGBTQ父母的成年子女在哪里？批判性评论

家庭研究人员对同性恋父母养育的个体的生活产生了浓厚的兴趣。但是，这项研究大部分都集中在童年时期，而不是晚年阶段。我们在这项重要的评论中建议，由一个或多个女同性恋，双性恋，变性者或同志（LGBTQ）父母抚养长大对成年和整个人生过程都有影响。这些人所浏览的复杂景观，包括家庭，社交网络，社区，地区和国家，可能在人际关系和机构环境（如学校和工作）中产生歧义。我们确定了这些成年子女的生活历程受到“质疑”的四个领域，即使对于那些本身不认同LGBTQ的人们也是如此：披露，歧视，人际关系和社区关系，和性公民身份。我们将老年护理，健康和新的非规范性家庭形式确定为未来研究的重要领域。
