The rights of LGBTQ families to adopt, parent and form a legal entity under the law is a relatively recent issue for the LGBTQ community. To most, the ability to be a good parent has nothing to do with sexual orientation, a viewpoint that has been adopted by the leading social, psychological and legal organizations.

To advance the issues on these matters, several politicians, activists, lawyers, counsellors, psychologits, academics, and other specialists have coalesced from around the world. Several of these individuals are well known, such as actor Rosie O'Donnell of the United States, actor Charlie Condou of Great Britain, and lawyer Harvey Brownstone of Canada.

For many of these individuals, the issues are very personal because they themselves have hit stumbling blocks in trying to adopt, parent and create a family.
