Welcome to LSVD family!

For a long time parenthood and homosexuality seemed to be incompatible even for homosexuals themselves. Nevertheless LGBT families or so called „rainbow families“ (lesbian mothers, gay fathers and their children) are no isolated cases. In Germany at least thousands of children grow up in rainbow families. These children mostly where conceived in earlier heterosexual relationships. More and more lesbians and gays choose to become parents after they “come out”.

till LGBT families are not taken into account by commonly shared family images neither in science nor in society. Additionally these families are neither legally nor socially fully accepted. In Germany every day life as well as family planning raise more difficulties for lesbians and gays than for heterosexual women and men or for homosexual couples in some other European Countries, e.g. Scandinavia or the Netherlands. 

Here are further information concerning lesbian mothers, gay fathers and their children and our project named “rainbow families”:
