The American Academy of Pediatrics has actually stated that "a considerable body of professional literature provides evidence that children with parents who are homosexual can have the same advantages and the same expectations for health, adjustment, and development as can children whose parents are heterosexual" and that "there is no evidence to suggest that lesbians and gay men are unfit to be parents or that psychosocial development among children of gay men or lesbians is compromised in any significant respect". However, the Academy does acknowledge that children of LGBTQ+ parents may face certain societal inequalities and discrimination which can affect their development.
