A single sex family is a type of family where both parents are of the same sex, meaning they are either both men or both women. These families can include children who are adopted, born through fertility treatments, or from previous relationships. Single sex families function just like any other family, providing love, support, and care to their children. This family structure challenges traditional ideas about family and has become more recognised in society as attitudes towards same-sex relationships have changed. In GCSE Sociology, studying single sex families helps us understand the diversity of modern family life and how it is influenced by social changes.
