Cette étude a pris corps dans le projet européen FamiliesAndSocieties1. La recherche s’est concentrée sur la manière dont les homo-bi-trans-sexuel-le-s appréhendaient la vie quotidienne, la reconnaissance légale –ou son absence- des relations entre les couples et son impact sur les liens personnels et les projets parentaux. Le choix des pays questionnait les modalités juridiques et les comportements des individus selon les structures légales et les contextes nationaux dans lesquelles ils évoluaient. Les entretiens semi-directifs ont été menées dans chaque pays selon un guide établi par les quatre équipes nationales dans une perspective comparative. Les rapports nationaux ont suivi une thématique identique pour permettre la comparaison qui a été effectuée dans un rapport remis à l’Union européenne2 1 Financement no. 320116 du projet de recherche FamiliesAndSocieties du 7e programme cadre de l’Union européenne (FP7/2007-2013) 2 Digoix, M., Franchi, M.
