摘要：

In the present study, I examined the turning points identified by lesbian parents that facilitated discourse with their children regarding family identity. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 13 lesbian parents and an interpretive analysis was performed. Three turning points were identified: coming out to the child, challenges to family identity, and announcement of commitment ceremonies/weddings. Lesbian parents also stressed the importance of creating "normalcy'' for their children.
