In these cases, a number of different approaches have been adopted by judges. At one end of the scale is what's called the “per se” category, where a parent's homosexuality creates what's called an “unrebuttable presumption” that the parent is unfit. What that means is, in this approach, homosexuality in and of itself renders a parent unfit regardless of any evidence to the contrary.
Dans des cas pareils, les juges ont adopté différents points de vue: l'un des extrêmes, c'est la position inflexible d'après laquelle l'homosexualité en soi rend un parent incapable de remplir son rôle, quelles que soient les preuves du contraire.
