Abstract

Razvojem društva pojavljuju se raznolike obiteljske strukture među kojima nailazimo i obitelji istospolnih
parova. Prava tih parova na roditeljstvo u središtu su javnog i političkog diskursa te često popraćena
negativnim stavovima vezana uz njihove roditeljske kompetencije u odnosu na heteroseksualne obitelji.
Takva stajališta odražavaju se u zakonskoj regulaciji istospolnih obitelji nekih država u svijetu i
Hrvatskoj. Prilikom zakonskog i društvenog reguliranja tih pitanja potrebno je osloniti se na donesene
zaključke temeljem znanstvenih istraživanja razvojnih ishoda djece koju odgajaju istospolni roditelji. U
ovaj rad uključena su istraživanja koja su analizirala povezanost roditeljstva unutar istospolnih, odnosno
heteroseksualnih obitelji sa psihosocijalnim, rodnim i spolnim razvojem, te kognitivnim razvojem i
obrazovnim ishodima djece. Većina rezultata sugerira da seksualna orijentacija roditelja nije značajan
prediktor razvojnih ishoda djece. Djeca istospolnih roditelja ne razlikuju se značajno u pogledu
psihosocijalne i emocionalne dobrobiti, seksualne sklonosti, kognitivnog razvoja te obrazovnog napretka
u odnosu na djecu heteroseksualnih roditelja (Manning i sur., 2014.). Međutim, percipirana homofobna
stigma djece i roditelja značajan je izvor stresa za istospolne obitelji te je povezana je s lošijim
zdravstvenim ishodima djece (npr. Crouch i sur., 2014.).

Abstract (english)

With the development of society, diverse family structures appear, among which we also find same-sex
families. couples. The rights of these families and couples to parenthood are at the center of public and
political discourse and are often accompanied by negative attitudes related to their parental competence
and influence on child outcomes compared to heterosexual families. Such views are reflected in the legal
regulation of same-sex families in some countries in the world and in Croatia. During the legal and social
regulation of the regulation of these relationships, it is necessary to rely on the scientific method, through
valid results and conclusions, to determine the developmental outcomes of children raised by same-sex
parents on the basis of scientific research. This paper includes research that analyzed the correlation
between parenting within same-sex and heterosexual families with psychosocial, gender and sexual
development, as well as cognitive development and educational outcomes of children. Most of the results
suggest that parents' sexual orientation is not a significant predictor of children's developmental
outcomes. Children of same-sex parents do not differ significantly in terms of psychosocial and emotional
well-being, sexual orientation, cognitive development, and educational progress compared to children of
heterosexual parents (Manning et al., 2014). However, perceived homophobic stigma of children and
parents is a significant source of stress for same-sex families and is associated with poorer health
outcomes for children (eg Crouch et al., 2014)
