| Summary: | This paper analyzes certain theoretical and methodological problems in the
research of (homo) sexuality. It also provides an overview of some of the
conclusions about LGBT parenting. There are both theoretical and practical
reasons behind making connections between the topics of parenting and
problems of a different sexual orientation. On the one hand, there is a need
to expand the knowledge of the LGBT population and same-sex families in
domestic sociology (considering that these issues are present for more than a
decade in our society), while on the other hand, LGBT parenting problem
analytically refers to the study of homosexuality because these two issues
are inseparable in the public discourse. In general, the aim of this paper is
to introduce LGBT perspectives in sociology and sociology of the family by
pointing out the epistemological importance of studying non-heterosexual
orientation and alternative family forms of LGBT. The first part includes the
analysis of certain theoretical and methodological problems in the study of
the LGBT population, and the second part gives an overview of contemporary
research on same-sex families. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije,
