Abstract

Este artículo presenta un análisis a las percepciones que padres y madres homosexuales y bisexuales residentes en Colombia tienen acerca de sus familias. Para tal fin, se realizó una aproximación a los imaginarios y las representaciones sociales que sobre la familia y la orientación sexual poseen estos padres, logrando evidenciar la manera en la cual vinculan ambas categorías para reconfigurar, desde sus experiencias personales, la imagen y la percepción de la familia que han constituido. La metodología empleada fue de carácter cualitativo y tuvo como herramientas de investigación la entrevista semiestructurada y el test de asociación libre de palabras. En total, se entrevistaron 15 padres, de los cuales siete eran lesbianas, cuatro gays y cuatro bisexuales. Se pudo concluir que los padres y madres homosexuales y bisexuales tienen percepciones sobre sus familias en las cuales no se da un rompimiento radical con el modelo de familia tradicional, sino que se presentan continuidades en aspectos tales como la afectividad, el cuidado, los roles de género, los cuales, sin embargo, son valorados y priorizadas de forma distinta por estos padres y madres dentro de las familias que han constituido.

This article presents an analysis to the perceptions that gay and bisexual fathers and mothers living in Colombia have of their families. For this purpose an approach was made to the imaginaries and social representations of these parents about their family and sexual orientation, so that to demonstrate the way they link both categories to reconfigure, from their personal experiences, the image and perception of the family that they have constituted. The methodology used was of a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive nature, using the semi-structured interview and free word association test as research tools. In total 15 parents were interviewed, of which 7 were lesbians, 4 gays and 4 bisexuals. It was concluded that homosexual and bisexual fathers and mothers have perceptions of their families that suggest no radical break with the traditional family model, but rather shows continuities regarding aspects such as affectivity, care and gender roles, which, however, are valued and prioritized in a different way by these fathers and mothers within the families they have constituted.
