AbsztraktAs the title suggests, this issue of the Gay and Lesbian Issues and Psychology Review contains articles about parenting by and the families of lesbian women and gay men. Whilst there are many differences between the experiences of lesbian women and gay men living in a heteropatriarchal society,1 it is nonetheless the case that both groups of people experience life in a context that in multiple ways invalidates their relationships, attempts to render their families as something other than or as nonfamilies, and presents obstacles on the basis of the sexuality and/or gender of the parents (and how that is seen to matter). Thus, issues of legal, public policy and discursive context have very clear (and frequently negative) impacts upon parents and children in same-sex parented families. These are experienced in highly personal, complex, and subtle, as well as very practical and overt, ways. These concerns are at the core of many of the contributions to this issue, and as such the eyes of many of the writers are firmly on wanted and needed change. This issue of the Review thus provides powerful and important information that we hope will be both interesting to the reader, and useful in its provision of information of interest to legislators, policy makers, decision makers, as well as to psychologists, teachers, and lesbian and gay people, amongst others.
