Résumé : Gays and Lesbians represent between 7 and 10% of the Belgian population, this means 1 million of citizens. Notwithstanding the large number of civil rights granted to homosexuals and the anti-discrimination laws, the issue of social acceptance of same-sex couples and families remains. However, the attitude of the population (support vs. rejection and discrimination) and the marginalization of a minority influence not only their quality of life but also their couple and parenting skills and the development of their children (Armesto, 2002; Goldberg, 2010). Results show that attitudes towards same-sex parenting can be explained by four categories of arguments: arguments regarding children well-beeing, religious and political arguments, contact and experiential arguments and traditional arguments.
