Abstract

The aim of the paper is to present a balance of studies on paternities of gay men in Latin America. For this purpose, has been carried a bibliographic search out in databases and specialized journals in gender and family studies. Then, was undertaken an exercise to categorize their research objects, their theoretical and methodological approaches, and their conclusions. In general, the research focuses on two issues: representations of being a father and paternity practices. In conclusion, despite that is a recent field of study in the region, some analyzes can be made in this respect that identify some deepening lines and the need to strengthen or raise others
