Homoparental families: Reproduction or trangression of the hegemonic genre?
In this article we aim to, first, understand the way homoparental families reproduce and/or tense hegemonic norms about gender and, second, whether that changes by participating in the homosexual movement. We interview a group of adults from these families. The results show multiple trajectories towards coming to be such, and different ways of making them invisible. In all of these trajectories, the hegemonic norm of gender its reproduced while trying to make sure the childrens’ wellbeing. However, among those who are part of organized groups, we can find certain practices that tense those norms, especially in cases of lesbian mothers with technological assistance. Thus, we conclude that the sole existence of homoparental families questions the basic assumptions about sexuality and gender, but they do not guarantee the transgression of the hegemonic gender norms.
