It is a unique time to be a Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans, Queer and Plus (LGBTQ+) parent in Ontario because we have gained equal legal parenting rights with the All Families Are Equal Act (2016), but continue to experience political backlash. With this SSHRC Insight Development Grant-funded study, we want to know about the everyday experiences of being an LGBTQ+ parent in this confusing political climate and where discrimination or exclusion surface. We are also interested to learn how experiences of inclusion and exclusion influence LGBTQ+ family’s wellbeing, as well as parents’ ideas about how to care for and protect their children.
