The family played an important role in stabilizing society after World War II. The 1950s marked the beginning of the “Golden Age Family” in which the nuclear family was seen as the main ideal family (Hughes and Fergusson, 2004, p.47). It is defined as a social unit consisting of wife, husband and dependent children (ibid). Sociologists often see such a family as “the cereal package family,” which refers to most people's image of the family during the Gilded Age (Nelson, 2013). However, from the early 1960s onwards, British society is becoming more liberal, placing greater emphasis on equality and personal freedom (Morgan, 2013). This is where the diversity of family types and relationships within families begins to appear. Nowadays, people are starting to express their concern about what is happening to the “traditional family” in contemporary British society (Hughes and Fergusson, 2004, p.46). Furthermore, there is a widespread fear that changes in family life will lead to greater uncertainties and private difficulties in people's lives. (Mooney et al, 2004 cited in Hughes and Fergusson, 2004, p.46). However, for feminists, the increasing diversity of the family is seen as a positive thing as it allows for greater equality and liberated relationships between men, women and children (ibid, p.64). On the other hand, for conservative thinkers the growing diversity is changing and undermining the secure and hierarchical order that the family constitutes for society as a whole (ibid, p.61). Therefore, this essay will show the family as an example of continuity change with an explanation on the changes in family types. Furthermore, the opinions of social scientists on diversity in the family will be discussed, focusing on... at the center of the article... identities, roles and affections based on reproductive sexuality which, for religion, has against the way given by God Ordering Life (Somerville, 2000). Therefore, it is considered a social deviance since for conservatives the family should be composed of heterosexual parents with a clear segregation in roles based on sexual differences within the family so that parents can inculcate appropriate values ​​in their children (Hughes and Fergusson, 2004, p60), while children raised by a same-sex couple may experience harmful effects on their psychological and social well-being. However, research conducted by the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues (SPSSI, 2009) invalidated conservative theories because children raised by same-sex couples were considered as normal and positive as children raised by people of the opposite sex. couple.
