System Justification, Right-Wing Conservatism, and Internalized Homophobia: Gay and Lesbian Attitudes toward Same-Sex Parenting in Italy (2011, background): “Although research evidence is scant (see for a review, Blibarz and Stacey 2010 and Tasker 2010), mothers and fathers are often assumed to be naturally equipped in different, complementary ways to respond to children’s developmental needs.”
Parenting and Child Development in Adoptive Families: Does Parental Sexual Orientation Matter? (2010, background): “The deeply entrenched belief that children need one male and one female parent for optimal development suggests that children reared by same-sex couples should experience difficulties (Biblarz & Stacey, 2010).”
The Division of Labor in Lesbian, Gay, and Heterosexual New Adoptive Parents (2012, background): “Such work can help tease apart the relative salience of sexual orientation and parent gender in shaping the division of labor by controlling for route to parenthood and eliminating the biological differentials known to influence the division of labor (Biblarz & Stacey, 2010).”
Children and Adolescents With Same-Gender Parents: A Meta-Analytic Approach in Assessing Outcomes (2015, background): “Research often confuses gender with other family structure variables (Biblarz & Stacey, 2010).”
Gay Men Who Become Fathers via Surrogacy: The Transition to Parenthood (2010, background): “The interested reader is directed to comprehensive reviews of these outcomes by Anderssen, Amlie, and Ytterøy (2002); Biblarz and Stacey (2010); Golombok (2007); Patterson (2005); and Tasker (2005).”
Sexual orientation and the desires and intentions to become parents (2013, background): “…that gay and lesbian parents have similar parenting skills to heterosexual parents (Goldberg, Kinkler, & Hines, 2011; Patterson, 2009) and that their children are comparable with children with heterosexual parents on key psychosocial developmental outcomes (Stacey & Biblarz, 2010; Tasker, 2010).”
Same‐Sex Parent Families and Children's Academic Achievement (2012, background): “…‘‘essential father,’’ and the male caregiver can play an important role in children’s maturation (Blankenhorn, 1995; Booth & Crouter, 1998; Wilson, 2002), but such studies have not unequivocally proven that both sexes are required for healthy development (for a review, see Biblarz & Stacey, 2010).”
The transgender parent: Experiences and constructions of pregnancy and parenthood for transgender men in Australia (2018, background): “…transition physically by using hormonal or surgical treatments; they may change their appearance, their name, and their gender pronoun to transition socially; and they may pursue recognition of their gender identity legally and formally (Biblarz & Stacey, 2010; Pyne, 2012; Weiner & Zinner, 2015).”
