NY: What is a Parent? Broadening the definition of “parent” in gay and lesbian same-sex relationships
Planoprofile – June 14, 2016
The legal debate wages on for gay parents as to what constitutes a “parent.” Is it biology? Legal status? Or, in the case of many gay and lesbian same-sex couples, emotional attachment? The question is whether the definition of “parenthood” should include people who have played a key parenting role in the child’s upbringing, even if not the biological or adoptive parent.
