HOMOPARENTALIDADE NO MASCULINO: UMA REVISÃO DA LITERATURA

Pesquisas tem identificado semelhancas entre a heteroparentalidade e a homoparentalidade, tanto no que diz respeito as praticas parentais, como no que se relaciona com o desenvolvimento psicossocial das criancas e jovens. Contudo, comparativamente com o volume de investigacao com maes lesbicas, os estudos com familias homoparentais masculinas sao ainda minoritarios. O objetivo deste trabalho foi, assim, o de efetuar uma revisao critica da literatura sobre homoparentalidade no masculino. Em primeiro lugar, refletimos acerca dos preconceitos particulares contra a parentalidade gay. Em segundo lugar, revimos os principais estudos com familias homoparentais masculinas, publicados entre 1979 e 2011. Os resultados das referidas pesquisas foram organizados em torno de cinco tematicas: atitudes face a parentalidade, identidade sexual, relacao com o contexto, competencia parental e qualidade/dinâmica das relacoes familiares, e desenvolvimento psicossocial das criancas e jovens. Por ultimo, destacamos algumas limitacoes e implicacoes para o futuro da investigacao revista.
