LGBTQ+ Parenting Rights

LGBTQ+ parenting rights refer to the legal protections and freedoms for individuals and couples identifying as LGBTQ+ to have, raise, and be recognized as the legal parents of their children. These rights include access to assisted reproductive technologies, adoption, and custody without discrimination. Legally, many jurisdictions now recognize same-sex partnerships and parentage, ensuring equal protection under the law. However, rights can vary widely depending on location, with some areas still restricting or not fully protecting LGBTQ+ families. Advancing these rights promotes equality, stability, and the well-being of children in diverse family structures.
