For example, Naz Meftah and Lydia Banuelos were legally married in California and are parents to three young children.
Banuelos is not recognized legally as their parent, cannot sign medical releases for them at the doctor and is not listed on their birth certificates.
The couple participated in the release of the report.
"It's not just sentimental and heart breaking. It has a real impact," Meftah told the reporters. "We are legally married and Lydia is a stranger to her own kids by law."
本周二发布的最新报告显示,生活在女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性人家庭的孩子更容易生活贫困,而且与其中一位家长的法律关系还可能不被认可。
报告指出,由于联邦政府尚未承认同性婚姻,致使此类家庭面临更高的税收负担,加入健康保险和政府安全网计划的机会也不平等。报告名为《所有的孩子都重要:法律和社会不平等如何伤害同性家庭》。
该报告由倡导同性恋权利的团体“运动促进项目”、“家庭平等委员会”和“美国进步中心”共同撰写,并在网上发表。
“家庭平等委员会”执行董事珍妮弗•克里斯勒说:“事实上,当今的现代家庭形态和大小各异。”
她说:“现实不断变化,但目前的法律和政策还跟不上。”
报告估计,全美大约两百万儿童生活在这类家庭中,遍布96%的美国郡县的各个族裔。
