Best Answer

Some of the family issues affecting same-sex parents are lack of community support and acceptance. Discrimination against the parents and sometimes children, is for many, the largest hurdle. There is often a fear of bullying of the child and a need to educate the child in how to handle prejudices is considered necessary to reduce or eliminate stressors to the child. Additionally, there can be a fear of losing custody if the children came from a prior heterosexual relationship. Furthermore, same-sex parents also face the same family issues as heterosexual couples raising children.

We often have to deal with discrimination, even from our own community. We sometimes have to deal with harassment from strangers and disapproval or estrangement from friends, neighbors, co-workers and family members. We have to deal with deportation of our spouses, denial of social security Survivor benefits and having to pay extra income tax. We have all of the responsibilities of citizenship, but none of the benefits. We are second-class citizens.
