摘要：Objective: To know the frequency of parental rejection in homosexual patients in a family primary health care unit. Methods: A descriptive study carried out by the application of the Family Rejection instrument by Lozano-Díaz (2010) to 39 parents of homosexual patients assigned to the Family Medicine Unit n o 195 in Chalco, Mexico. The non-probabilistic convenience sample was obtained in family medicine consultations and appointments with the parents of patients recognized as homosexuals were arranged with the help of social workers. Results: 1) The worst negative attitude towards homosexuality was observed in the fathers; 2) There was a great feeling of family dishonor to have a homosexual son or daughter; 3) It was considered very unpleasant to have sexual preference for the same sex; 4) Marriages were not accepted between same-sex couples. Conclusions: It is possible to state that the parental rejection of homosexuals was considerably high in the group investigated. It is noteworthy that these patients need to be addressed not only individually, but also with their families. The search for non-biomedical alternatives can provide an opportunity for the acceptance of homosexual expression, reducing discrimination within the family unit, and hence in social environments.
