Changing attitudes toward homosexuality and gay rights among older Americans
Attitudes toward homosexuality and gay rights have changed dramatically over the past five decades. While society has become increasingly accepting of gay people, negative attitudes toward homosexuality and gay rights persist.

Faith in the Marketplace
In June 2023, the US Supreme Court in 303 Creative v. Elenis held that an anti‐discrimination statute could not force a Christian business owner to provide certain business services to gay people. The decision has created a slew of legal and social uncertainties, which require a deeper investigation of the contemporary conflict between the gay community and the Christian community. This article begins that investigation by examining data from 46 …
Social Support and Spiritual Identity among Gay and Lesbian Christians

Additionally, lesbians are typically favored over…

For many, starting a family and becoming a parent are significant life events, often anticipated from a young age. While some choose not to have children, this choice typically assumes the freedom to decide-an option that was often unavailable to the current cohort of midlife and older gay men throughout much of their lives. This study examines how U.S. law shaped the ways in which these men understood, imagined, or ruled out parenthood during pe…

Living a Childless Life
Although the motivations of gay men to become parents mirror those of heterosexual men and many gay men continue to want to be parents in the future, the current cohort of midlife and older gay men are disproportionately childless as compared with their heterosexual counterparts. This article aims to understand how childless midlife and older gay men see their childlessness as they continue to navigate their lives. Narrative analysis was used to …
