The Queer Parent by Lotte Jeffs - Pan Macmillan

Something else I learned from Prof Golombok was how awful it was for lesbian parents in the 70s, 80s and even 90s, who separated from a male partner to be with a woman, only to have their children taken from them after divorce proceedings. Courts at that time believed it was detrimental for children to be brought up by gay parents. In one US case she told us about, the courts ruled it would be better for a child to live with his father – a convicted murderer – than with his mother, who was in a happy and loving relationship with a woman.

Yet so many of society’s ideas about parenthood remain rooted in traditional gender roles. Lynch’s use of the plural “motherhoods” stands in proud contrast to that, a quiet but firm assertion that the idea of a single “mother figure” needn’t be fixed; that it can be up to us how we interpret the role. According to a 2013–14 survey conducted in Poland by the Institute of Psychology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IP PAN) on 3000 LGBT people in same-sex relationships living in the country, 9% (11.7% of women and 4.6% of men) of coupled LGBT people were parents.
