Generational Differences in LGBT Parenting

Generational differences in LGBT parenting reflect changing social attitudes and legal recognitions over time. Older generations often faced more stigma, leading to limited acceptance, fewer legal protections, and greater challenges in raising children openly. Younger generations tend to benefit from increased social acceptance, legal rights like adoption and second-parent rights, and broader support networks. These differences influence experiences related to openness about sexuality, access to resources, and societal support, shaping how LGBT parents navigate their roles across generations.
