We conducted a thematic analysis with data from digitally recorded interviews transcribed verbatim. Conformity to heteronormative sexuality formed an important part of childhood socialization, and deviance became a growing source of parental-child conflict during puberty. Secrecy, which was commonplace among participants, was a critical strategy to protect against deteriorating family relationships, and financial hardship. Mediation by family elders helped restore communications post-disclosure, and positively influenced the parental role in protecting the child against discriminatory practices. Tension between the legal and social normative framework demonstrates that liberalizing contentious rights in law cannot be transformative without social change strategies. The government has to ensure access and investment in educational interventions that foster critical consciousness on gender and sexuality in family, and other socializing agents such as schools, with a view to addressing a key driver of discrimination against LGBTI people in Mozambique and promoting their social inclusion.Keywords: Socializationgender rolessexuality: discriminationLGBTIMozambique AcknowledgementsThis research forms part of a larger project on strengthening legal and policy environments for reducing HIV risk and improving sexual and reproductive health for young key populations in Southern Africa. The authors would like to thank all colleagues involved in this larger project, and all study participants and collaborating organizations who made the young key populations study in Mozambique possible.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data for this study has not been deposited in a public repository due to the nature of this research, and the necessity to safeguard the anonymity of its participants.Notes1 Queer refers to non-heterosexual and non-gender binaried people, including those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender. While the authors refer in this paper to the commonly used acronym of LGBTI, this is done from an understanding that the acronym encapsulates a group of people whose sexual interests, gender/sex dimensions, and goals for social recognition are different and dynamic.Additional informationFundingThis study was funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of The Netherlands as part of their regional HIV/AIDS and SRHR programme in Southern Africa [Grant number: 00091626].

The right time for reproduction is individually sensed and socially constructed. Relationships facilitate people’s perception of reproductive time. Time and relationships are significant themes in reproduction; however, there is a lack of empirical research engaging with both. This article explores the intricate and dynamic process of how gay fathers responded to heteronormative temporal norms by transforming their reproductive aspirations into reproductive plans. Considering the legal constraints, the only accessible way for Taiwanese gay men to have biologically related children is through transnational reproductive technologies, donor eggs, and surrogacy. The expense intensifies the need for relational support from partners and families-of-origin. The findings show four ‘temporal-relational paths’: chronological-normative, partner-bonded, individual-oriented, and family-motivated toward parenthood. I argue for a more nuanced understanding of gay fathers’ reproductive decision-making beyond the dichotomy of heteronormative repro-timeline and queer anti-family-making temporality by elucidating how gay fathers employed ‘queer temporal repro-agency’ to make families. Toward a temporal-relational path, this article attempts to inspire and call out for future research on practices of queer reproduction in a heteronormative timeframe.","PeriodicalId":29696,"journal":{"name":"LGBTQ Family-An Interdisciplinary Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135579594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of 75 NLLFS adult offspring (mean age 30.93; 49.33% female, 48.00% male, and 2.66% gender nonbinary; 90.67% White, 9.33% people of color), 8 (10.67%) had children and 42 of the rest (62.67%) hoped to have children. Most anticipated no parenting challenges, though some mentioned societal reactions or not having had a father. They expected to rear children in an open-minded and child-focused way, and to discuss their own nontraditional conception in a casual and straightforward manner. They viewed their own mothers as role models. Wave 7 was also the first time that NLLFS parents were asked about grandchildren; of 124 parents, 7 (5.64%) were grandparents. They expressed joy in spending time with their grandchildren and pride in their offspring’s parenting skills. The results are discussed in relation to research about how parents who are members of minority groups educate children about minority status.","PeriodicalId":29696,"journal":{"name":"LGBTQ Family-An Interdisciplinary Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135939260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
