Homoparental Families and Social Work
KYSLÍKOVÁ, Patricie
Homoparental parents still do not dispose with the same rights as heteroparental families according to the current Czech legislation. Only one of the parents is legally recognized, the other is a social parent, who does not have a legally recognized relationship with the child. The institute of registered partnership has been established in the Czech Republic since 2006. However, neither its name nor its content is similar to marriage. In addition to legal obstacles, homoparental families face societal stereotypes and gender inequality. Nonetheless, according to surveys, the attitude of the Czech population is improving. However, there is a distinction between acceptance and tolerance. Futhermore, there are not many organizations and social work services focused on homoparental families or the LGBTQ+ group. This research work, employing a qualitative research strategy using the method of inquiry carried out using the semi-structured interview technique, analyzed what difficulties homoparental families face and how social work could assist them in this regard. The data obtained from interviews with nine communication partners was analysed using the grounded theory method. The need for social justice as a theory embedded in the obtained data during the process of coding. Its low level is the cause of the current legislative situation, identified as the primary challenge in the research. Additionaly, it points to the prevailing tolerant stance and gender inequality which communication partners face. Whereas the accepting environment is a fact which significantly contributes to the better life of communication partners. To increase social justice, there is a need for the development of Czech social work in a critical and political direction.

Kočalka, Matúš ; Matochová, Alžběta (advisor) ; Křížová, Eva (referee)
This bachelor thesis entitled Analysis of stigmatization against LGBTQ+ people: a reflection of reactions regarding the murder at Zámocká explores the area of stigmatization in the context of social psychology and developmental psychology. The thesis draws on authors such as Henri Tajfel, Gordon W. Allport, Erving Goffman, and Mark A. Yarhouse, all of whom discuss concepts closely related to the process of stigmatization. The thesis further examines the sociological perspective on minorities as social groups, the perspective of social psychology on processes occurring in intergroup relationships and interactions between the majority and minority society, as well as the process of identity development and acquisition in individuals (members of marginalized minorities) in the context of the negative consequences of stigmatization. Additionally, the thesis emphasizes the reflection of theoretical knowledge through qualitative content analysis of sources related to the terrorist act on Zámocká Street, including selected media and statements from public representatives in Slovakia, with the goal of demonstrating the connection between the theoretical analysis of stigmatization and the processes taking place in Slovak society. Keywords: Zámocká Street, LGBTQ+, stigmatization, social identity, social...
