Saffron","doi":"10.53841/bpslg.2006.7.1.78","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53841/bpslg.2006.7.1.78","url":null,"abstract":"Lisa Saffron is a true lesbian parenting pioneer. She is a lesbian mother and the author of a number of groundbreaking books on self-insemination. The most widely known of these books is Challenging Conceptions: Planning a family by self-insemination (Cassell, 1994). Her first book on the subject was Getting pregnant our own way: A guide to alternative insemination produced for the Women’s Health Information Centre in London in 1987. It’s a Family Affair: The complete lesbian parenting book (Diva Books, 2001) is her latest volume. Lisa has also addressed the experiences of children with lesbian and gay parents in What About the Children? Sons and daughters of lesbian and gay parents talk about their lives (Cassell, 1996). Lisa was the founder and first executive director of PinkParents (established as a charity in June 2000, charitable status given up in June 2005), an organisation that offers support and guidance to lesbian, gay and bisexual parents and educates and informes both lesbian, gay and bisexual parents and the wider community (see www.pinkparents.org.uk). Lisa still provides workshops and individual consultations for lesbians and gay men wanting to become parents and workshops for service providers. She has also emerged relatively unscathed from numerous encounters with the media over the last two decades! I spoke to Lisa at her home and transcribed and edited our two-hour conversation. Lisa has read and commented on the transcript. To begin with I asked Lisa about how she first got involved in supporting and raising awareness of lesbian parenting.","PeriodicalId":311409,"journal":{"name":"Lesbian & Gay Psychology Review","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123400613","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}

The French context is somewhat different from that of Anglo-Saxon countries, as French laws are very often influenced by a Catholic way of thinking. As a result, French family laws are based upon principles like ‘male and female parents are mandatory’, or ‘there cannot be more than two parents’. From these principles stem a series of prohibited practices: single women and lesbian couples are not allowed access to medically-assisted procreation; second parent adoption by a same-sex second parent is forbidden; joint adoption by a same sex couple is not possible; turning to a surrogate mother is forbidden (to anyone, straight or gay). This specific context thus produces certain forms of lesbian and gay headed families. This paper describes some of these forms of families.","PeriodicalId":311409,"journal":{"name":"Lesbian & Gay Psychology Review","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116531503","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}

{"title":"The construction of an open time dimension in narratives about the becoming of lesbian and gay families: An act of resistance","authors":"Karin Nelson","doi":"10.53841/bpslg.2006.7.1.8","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53841/bpslg.2006.7.1.8","url":null,"abstract":"This article draws on a study of lesbian and gay (LG) families with children. Narratives about the long and often challenging road to become a family with children have been analysed. In speaking as a LG parent, hegemonic narratives about reproduction and parenthood as a matter for heterosexuals, in a twoparent family structure, are resisted. However, resistance is also displayed through the way time dimension is conveyed in the telling of stories. Instead of assuming a single temporality the narrative analysis is based on multiple concepts of time, so called bakhtinian ‘multiple chronotopes’. In the article the complex relation between counter narrative and master narrative is discussed in relation to the construction of temporality. It is proposed that the LG identity of parents does not per se suffice to produce resistance. Four specific stories have been analysed.","PeriodicalId":311409,"journal":{"name":"Lesbian & Gay Psychology Review","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126163656","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}

Drawing on multi-generational family interviews with 20 lesbian-parented families in Victoria, Australia, we explore how participants describe and present their families in public contexts. We found a marked difference in experience between lesbian-parented stepfamilies and lesbian-parented de novo families where children are conceived and raised by lesbian parents from birth. Family members adopted a variety of strategies when disclosing parents’ sexual orientation in mainstream social institutions such as health care settings and schools. Some chose a proud, open strategy; while others were more private; yet others chose a passive strategy, particularly when dealing with health care providers, and a selective strategy when dealing with schools. These strategies demonstrate the fine balance that families must strike between being publicly authentic and creating safety by protecting themselves from negative attitudes.","PeriodicalId":311409,"journal":{"name":"Lesbian & Gay Psychology Review","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121238850","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}

{"title":"Gay dads: Choosing surrogacy","authors":"A. Lev","doi":"10.53841/bpslg.2006.7.1.73","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.53841/bpslg.2006.7.1.73","url":null,"abstract":"HE MORE I LEARN ABOUT LESBIAN, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) family-building, the more I am increasingly awe-struck by our creativity, passion, and ingenuity. A quarter of a century ago, lesbians took charge of their reproductive capabilities and stepped outside of conventional marriage and heterosexual intercourse and began utilising donor insemination to make babies (Benkov, 1994; Toevs & Brill, 2002; Martin, 1993; Mohler & Frazer, 2002; Pepper, 1999). Within the last decade, LGBT people have turned the adoption world on its head, with nearly 60 per cent of all adoption agencies in the US placing children in LGBT homes (Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute, 2003). Now, gay men are also taking charge of their own biological potential and becoming fathers in unprecedented numbers through surrogacy arrangements (Strah, 2003). Although LGBT people have ‘regular, average, and normal’ families, we do build our families in unique ways, utilising alternative methods of reproduction and familybuilding (Lev, 2004). We continue to develop cutting-edge and innovative options to create our families. I have tremendous admiration watching the explosion of parenting within the gay male community. Gay men seem to parent with tenderness and gentle humour; they exhibit a competence that often makes me feel like a crazed housewife with my hair in rollers – how do they do it and still look so fabulous? Of course, I am saying this somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but I do think that gay dads are challenging us all to see gay men, as well as fathering in general, in a new light. Michael, who lives with his partner, Steven, in Los Angeles, says, ‘Whether gay or straight, society doesn’t trust men as nurturing influences, particularly with infants. Countless times walking down the street with my infant son, George, people (mostly women) would say, ‘Mommy’s day off?’ This is so insulting because I know women in the same situation have never heard, ‘Daddy’s day off?’’ I will confess that the first time I ever met a gay male couple with an infant, I had that same initial shock: ‘Who is going to take care of the crying infant, i.e. where’s the MOM?’ I got over myself pretty quickly (that was nearly 20 years ago), but I still see the concern on many people’s faces – straight and gay – when they see a dad, or two dads, with a baby. Parenting has often meant ‘mothering’, and although we all know that fathers can change a diaper, it is still assumed that there is a mother somewhere to check that they are doing it correctly (McGarry, 2003; Strah, 2003). Michael L, a white single dad, said that before his son was born, a woman asked him, ‘Whose your girl?’ When he asked her what she meant, she said, ‘You’re gonna get a girl right? To take care of the baby.’ Michael said he was quitting his job to stay home and take care of the baby, she laughed and said, ‘Oh honey. You neeeeed a girl! You’re too intelligent; you want someone to handle the stupid stuff.’ Michael accurately asses","PeriodicalId":311409,"journal":{"name":"Lesbian & Gay Psychology Review","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126442770","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}
