| description | The families of lesbian, bisexual, and queer (LBQ) women challenge the normative heterosexual family model and the traditional notions of kinship. These families are becoming visible in Chile but still lack social legitimacy, laws, and public policies to support them, and research on this topic is scarce. This paper presents the results of a qualitative interpretive study involving women with children born in a previous heterosexual relationship. Methodological approach was Grounded Theory. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with six women whose children were between 4 and 15 years old. Results show that women's vital trajectories (progressive, ambivalent and queer) directly influence the way they address their sexual orientation with their children. Personal/affective and sociocultural levels show interactions and tensions around the conflict between advantages and risks of increased social visibility. The challenges and costs these women and their families face are discussed in terms of a human rights perspective as well as public policies. |

Las familias de madres lesbianas, bisexuales y queer desafían el modelo heteroparental y las nociones tradicionales de parentesco. En Chile están en proceso incipiente de visibilización, no cuentan con legitimidad social, leyes ni políticas públicas que las respalden, y existe escasa investigación al respecto. Este trabajo presenta los resultados de un estudio cualitativo interpretativo con mujeres con hijos/as nacidos/as en una relación heterosexual previa. El enfoque metodológico utilizado fue la Teoría Fundamentada. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a seis mujeres con hijos/as entre 4 y 15 años. Los resultados muestran que las trayectorias vitales de las mujeres (progresiva, ambivalente y queer) inciden directamente en cómo abordan con sus hijos/as el tema de su orientación sexual. Los niveles personal-afectivo y sociocultural se articulan y tensionan en torno al conflicto entre ventajas y riesgos de la visibilización ante la sociedad. Se discuten los desafíos y costos para estas mujeres y sus familias desde una perspectiva de derechos y políticas públicas. 2018-03-15 2022-03-22T15:12:32Z 2022-03-22T15:12:32Z http://www.psicoperspectivas.cl/index.php/psicoperspectivas/article/view/1202 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/80704 es <p>The author/s grant exclusive license without temporary limit for the manuscript to be published in the journal Psicoperspectivas.
