Young, gay, homeless and invisible: A growing population
This paper describes the experiences of a hitherto invisible and possibly increasing population in England, namely young homeless lesbian, gay and bisexual people. It draws on preliminary findings from research into transitions for young lesbian, gay and bisexual people that took homelessness as one theoretically informed focus. The paper explores two main questions. Firstly, how far and in what ways does sexuality play a role in a housing crisis…
A story of “difference”, a different story: Young homeless lesbian, gay and bisexual people
Suggests that research specifically at the homeless lesbian, gay or bisexual person is sparse. Presents some of the stories found from interviewing 19 cases within their category. Shows that whilst the samples share characteristics with other homeless groups that can also be characterised in four distinct ways based on their sexuality. Looks at each group in turn.

The Lady Vanishes? Reflections on the Experiences of Married and Divorced Non- Heterosexual Fathers
This paper draws on one of the first published studies of gay fatherhood to explore some experiences of those who were married or divorced.

Mapping their parenting circumstances and relationships with ex/wives, I apply a feminist analysis in an attempt to understand the unu…
Lesbians as Authentic Workers? Institutional Heterosexuality and the Reproduction of Gender Inequalities
This article argues that there is an important blind spot in accounts of gender inequality which is the result of a heterosexual bias in research on work and family life. The absence of comparative reference points from non-heterosexual experience obscures the significance of heterosexuality itself for reproducing the status quo. The article provides a theoretical framework for conceptualizing the relevance of lesbian experience for illuminating …
Opting Into Motherhood: Lesbians Blurring the Boundaries and Transforming the Meaning of Parenthood and Kinship
This article focuses on the experiences of becoming and being mothers for lesbian co-parents who have children via donor insemination. Rather than the presence of children incorporating lesbians into the mainstream as 'honorary heterosexuals,' the author argues that lesbian parenting represents a radical and radicalizing challenge to heterosexual norms that govern parenting roles and identities. It undermines traditional notions of the family and…
Lesbian Lifestyles: Women's Work and the Politics of Sexuality
Pioneers Behind our own Front Doors: Towards Greater Balance in the Organisation of Work in Partnerships
The seemingly intransigent nature of gender inequalities in the organisation of work has led to a somewhat gloomy portrayal of what is possible. Women's increased labour market participation has led to neither parity with men in terms of earnings and status nor a corresponding re-negotiation of labour in the home. Theorising on gender and work, however, tends to assume that workers, parents and households are heterosexual. This paper extends deba…
Lesbian Lifestyles
This fascinating book illustrates the importance of analyzing sexuality by examining ways in which stepping outside heterosexuality necessitates and facilitates long-term economic independence. Based
