In the first part of the thesis I analysed the main concepts such as homosexuality, family, discrimination and homophobia. Those were the bases of my research, that was not empirical but only theoretical. Firstly I focused on the history of homosexuality in Slovenia and in the rest of the world and on the homosexuality itself. I could debate more on that subject, but I did rather focus on the more and more famous problem of the same-sex families. I described that more from the legal site. In the second part I transferred the problem directly to the child and education. At this point I was quite shocked because of the lack of the literature, so I include not only kindergarten problems, but also primary school. The last part my research was the biggest, because it’s most challenging to include homosexuality and same-sex families into the kindergarten. My biggest finding is that homosexuality and family life associated with it is still a big taboo that pre-school teachers like to avoid. Homosexuality, when mentioned connected to kindergarten, is always negative and not even mentioned in the key literature for the pre-school teachers. That is why all the activities that I wrote about in the last part are customized, and some ideas and tips are my own.
