Normative Passing in the Lesbian Community
For the lesbian community, “passing” behaviors once accepted as necessary, protective and resilient have been receiving less support. This study explores the context for “passing” behaviors and challenges the negative assumptions currently associated with it, asking whether passing is viewed as normative or as an indication of unresolved identity. A sample of 40 adult, white study participants were interviewed about their identity management stra…
Substance Abuse and Dependency in Gay Men and Lesbians
Research on the incidence, etiology and treatment needs of gay men and lesbians who abuse alcohol and drugs is limited. Recent studies challenge earlier beliefs that the incidence of substance abuse is higher among gay men and lesbians than in the general population. However, a substantial number of this population drink problematically. This article reviews the literature on the etiology of substance abuse among gay men lesbians, and details imp…

Heterosexist bias occurs in both assessment and treatment of lesbian couples with substance abuse problems. This bias is often compounded by negative attitudes toward females who are chemically dependent and by lack of knowledge about lesbian relationships, substance abuse in women, and lesbian-affirming, family-centered practice.

This study of 190 homeless women in Portland, Oregon, found that most homeless women are young, have minor children, and are mobile. The majority have a history of physical or sexual abuse, many are in poor health, 18 percent have been in a mental hospital, and one-fourth are alcoholic. The implications of these findings for policies and practice are discussed

At present almost 40% of deliveries in Botswana take place at home under the care of untrained, elderly, female kin. …
