Gay Fathers and Their Children.
Miller, Brian
Family Coordinator, v28 n4 p544-52 Oct 1979
Issues raised in gay parent custody cases are examined. Data indicate that notions about gay fathers' compensatory behavior, molestation of children, negative influence on child development, and instigation of harassment are largely unfounded. The father's "coming out" to his children tends to relieve family tension and strengthen the father-child bond. (Author)
