Homoparental family in real life and current family diversity

Abstract

There are many definitions of a family, from some classic ones like  that saying that it is ". the basic cell or nucleus of the society, the primary social institution, a social sub-system and a social  relation", to others, more complexes, considering it a group of  inter-related persons living together. The family is the intermediary  group between the individual, community and society. It is, despite  the great transformation of the contemporary world, the natural  habitat of the human being.  In the current century, the family gets  structurally diverse, and one of the variants of the nuclear family  may be the homoparental one, that is formed by parents with homosexual  sexual orientation. Although it is not a new phenomenon, it is nowadays when it is having an intense acceleration beginning from the  legal recognition of the marriage between persons of the same sex in many nations. Homoparental families are able to educate and grow their  children up satisfactorily. Parents´ sexual orientation is not an  indicator useful to assess the educative function of the parents. 
Parents and children of homoparental families should incorporate  resilient elements allowing affronting any potentially negative social  manifestation against them.
