description Introduction: Homosexuals have been transforming the family institution by making efforts to get their right to marry and have children recognized. Studies in Brazil on homoparenting are few in number and recent, and there is a need to understand the processes that promote resilience in homosexual families, given that these families have to deal with stigma and discrimination. Objective: To know the experience of same-sex couples in relation to parenting and the resilience strategies adopted by these couples in daily challenges. Methods: A qualitative study was carried out; three female couples were interviewed, all of them belonging to class B, and reached through the snowball method, with children being generated from assisted reproduction procedures. Results: There was an association between personal experiences of discrimination and concern about the experiences that children may face. Conclusion: The couples interviewed adopted resilience strategies aimed at developing respect and good coexistence in society. Future studies will be able to compare this posture with those of other couples and deepen the understanding of the issue.
