Abstract
Employing a variety of available data and previous research, the authors examine issues related to Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people's parenting practices and experiences. Findings indicate that parenting may serve to more fully-integrate Black LGBT people into both White LGBT communities and Black heterosexual communities. Black LGBT parents may also be disproportionately harmed as a result of anti-gay parenting measures. In light of these findings, the authors discuss foster parenting and adoption, racial and economic justice, and the current same-sex marriage debate. In sum, although the intersection of race and sexuality creates circumstances unique to Black LGBT people that neither White LGBT people nor Black heterosexual people are required to confront, Black LGBT people's similarities with other groups should not be overlooked.
