LGBTQIA+ Families and Parenting

Family is a social unit that is an important starting point for creating a complete society. Having a strong family not only promotes the physical and mental development of humans, but also helps us to understand everywhere we live together. Having children is one of the factors that help strengthen families to be larger and develop in a better direction in terms of economy, society and culture. However, in Thailand, having children is still reserved for only certain groups of people.

Acceptance of the concept of gender diversity

Acceptance of the concept of gender diversity has been continuously pushed forward in the past. This concept has been opened up and supported in human rights reviews. The recognition and acceptance of the existence of the LGBT group has been increasing through education and the dissemination of information in various dimensions. However, despite the increasing acceptance, LGBT groups still face limitations in creating complete families.

In Thai society, LGBT people still face discrimination in many aspects, including having children and starting a family. Although some LGBT families may not wish to have children, many are interested in this matter. Requesting to have children in a LGBT family is suppressed by questions and doubts about whether the child wants to be born into this kind of family. However, children do not have the opportunity to choose the family they will be born into. The desire to have children is still the privilege of only those who can register a marriage. If LGBT people can have official documents indicating the relationship They have the opportunity to have children both naturally and through infertility technology.

Surrogacy

Surrogacy or “surrogacy” is another way that allows LGBT people to have children. However, the problem that follows is the prejudice and beliefs that still block this path, causing surrogacy to have many limitations. Currently, surrogacy is still viewed negatively due to misunderstandings about the trade or rental of the womb. Instead of taking the time and knowledge to study the appropriate criteria and possible impacts to maximize the benefits for all lives in the future.

Thailand still needs to develop laws and policies to support having children among LGBT people. Creating understanding and acceptance from society will help LGBT families have children and live their lives to the fullest. Creating a society that is open and accepting of LGBT people will help everyone live a good and happy life together in the future. Considering and accepting the concept of surrogacy and giving LGBT people an equal opportunity to have children is still something that needs to be developed. Creating understanding and acceptance from society will help LGBT families have children and live their lives to the fullest. Creating a society that is open and accepting of LGBT people will help everyone live a good and happy life together in every aspect.

Ultimately, the success of creating a strong and diverse family must come from support and acceptance from society. Correct education and the dissemination of true information will help Thai people understand and accept LGBT people more. Giving LGBTQ people the freedom to have children and start families will help Thailand move towards a society with equality and fairness for all.
