摘　　要：同性育儿家庭的出现,是当代中国社会家庭多元化变迁的结果之一。尽管面临诸多生理、法律和社会层面的障碍,长期稳定的同性伴侣关系以及辅助性生殖技术及其产业的发展,为同性家庭的生育提供了重要的结构性机会。基于对居住在长三角地区和四川的14个生育子女的同性家庭成员的深度访谈,本研究发现,与主流的异性恋家庭一样,祖辈广泛参与这些家庭中对孙辈的照料,构成了与西方国家同性(伴侣)家庭之间最为突出的差别。一方面,生育后代以及后续的隔代照料,极大地缓解了成年同性恋者在性取向问题上面临的家庭压力,无论他们是否向父母出柜;另一方面,在中国社会隔代照料盛行的情况下,祖辈参与同性家庭子女的日常照料,在一定程度上使这些另类的家庭变成正常。同性育儿家庭中的隔代照料,体现了传统家本位伦理和现代个人本位追求之间的平衡,显示了中国家庭代际关系新的流变。The emergence of homosexual families is one of the results of family change in contemporary Chinese society.Despite biological,social and legal barriers faced by homosexuals,their stable,long-term relationship and the development of ART(Assisting Reproductive Technology)create the structural opportunity for them to achieve parenthood.Based on in-depth interviews with members of 14 homosexual families with young children and focused on their childcare experiences,this paper finds that the high involvement of grandparents in childcare,like other mainstream heterosexual families,constitutes a distinctive feature of Chinese homosexual families,which creates the most distinct difference from their western counterparts.The procreation efforts and the subsequent intervention of their parents greatly alleviate the pressure of Chinese homosexuals,regardless of their decision of coming-out to their parents or not.On the other hand,the active role played by the grandparents in childcare,which is typical of the Chinese society,arguably helps normalize these queer families in China.Grandparenting in the homosexual family manifests new changes in intergenerational relationship and indicates a balance between the traditional family-centered culture and the rising of individualist ethics.
