This essay discusses how the heterosexist elites in society have tried to impose a negative slant on lesbian parenting. This is why same-sex orientation has often been portrayed as a learned pathology that has been passed from generation to generation by role modeling. This is the way that the society socially constructs homophobia within the society at large. As a result, homosexual parenting has also been vilified. Yet while many forces in our culture have traditionally opposed lesbian parenting, lesbian parenting is now growing as an acceptable phenomenon. While much discrimination against lesbian mothering prevails, the evidence suggests that none of the negative premises about it are true. 10 pgs. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
