Resumen:
In recent decades, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT or rainbow) families have become key players in the transformation processes affecting family structures in European societies, and specifically in Spain. Our research hypothesis is that, even as rainbow families have caused ruptures in pre-existing concepts of family, they have also reproduced certain contemporary hegemonic models. There have been changes in relation to access to parenting and the sexual division of reproductive and domestic work. However, the hegemonic model of the nuclear familyis still based on coupling and the desire to maintain genetic ties in order to legitimise filiation. As such, LGBT families are engaged in a creative transformation of traditional kinship, broadening and redefining the concept to incorporate same-sex and heterosexual families.
