Sommario/riassunto

This book draws on qualitative interviews with lesbian, gay, and bisexual people regarding whether and how they came to have children. With their stories at the heart of the analysis, it reveals the challenges posed by homophobia and discrimination and showcases the creative strategies, resilience, and resourcefulness that LGB people use as they build families (with or without children) after coming out.
