This document discusses LGBT families in Portugal and the social oppression they face. It notes that while research shows there are no differences in child outcomes between LGBT-led and heterosexual families, LGBT families still face legal impediments to adoption and barriers in schools and healthcare. The document also outlines strategies LGBT families use to build resilience against oppression, such as strengthening social support networks and openly discussing their family structure. Finally, it argues we should move past comparing LGBT and heterosexual families, as differences are likely due to social context rather than sexual orientation.
