Having children of people with diverse sexualities

The family is the smallest unit of society and is the starting point to promote a complete life for all beings, whether humans or animals of various species. Having children is important and helps to expand the family size, developing in many positive directions. However, in our country, Thailand, having children is still reserved for certain groups only.
&nbsp;
The concept of sexual diversity is open and has been continuously promoted throughout the human rights review period. Awareness of the existence of sexually diverse groups has become more widespread, accepted, and better understood through studies in various dimensions. The consequence is the social encounters of sexually diverse individuals and the formation of good relationships within their specific groups, creating small new families that are not allowed to be as complete as they should be.
&nbsp;
In many families, sexually diverse individuals may not wish to have children, but quite a few are interested in this matter. The desire to have children among sexually diverse families is suppressed by questions such as whether the child would want to be born into a sexually diverse family or not. In reality, children born have no choice beforehand either. The desire to have children remains a privilege only for those who can legally register their marriage. That is, if they are sexually diverse individuals but have certain official documents indicating a relationship that can superficially be believed to be capable of caring for the child, they will have the opportunity to have children both naturally and through assisted reproductive technologies.
&nbsp;
The promotion of surrogacy or “womb rental” is not just about encouraging commerce or renting the womb space alone, but it is also another way to enable sexually diverse individuals to have children. However, some prejudices still block this path significantly, instead of spending time and knowledge to study appropriate criteria and possible impacts to maximize benefits for all future lives.
