Homosexuality in Children’s Literature – Children and Homosexual Parenthood.
Original language description
Homosexuality in children’s literature is still a controversial topic in many countries of the world. Not only are people afraid to talk about this theme with children, they even don’t know how. The history of this topic in children’s literature dates back to the 80’s of the 20th century, when the first books were published. In 20th century the human society went through many changes which were reflected in all the fields of art (theatre, fine arts, literature etc.). Writers had the need to get the children’s readers familiar with “taboo topics” as a homosexuality, death, drugs etc. They wanted to introduce homosexuals as ordinary men and women, who live their own lives with their joys and worries. Today, we can find three main themes in children’s literature: coming out, live of homosexuals and homosexual parenthood. Each theme has its own specifics and typical reading age group of children or youth. This characterization can help us to deeper identify the topic. The literature offers the children and youth better and easier cognition of the world with its differences. The aim is to learn about the history of homosexuality in children’s literature and go deeper to its individual themes, especially to homosexual parenthood.
