Relationships & Parenting

Many LGBT adults are in relationships and many are raising children, and yet barriers to family formation persist. We examine the demographics of LGBT families and study parenting among LGBT people and same-sex couples. In addition, we analyze laws and policies that impact LGBT relationships and families.
