  • Parental Rejection Following Sexual Orientation Disclosure

    Open AccessJulia A Puckett, Eva N Woodward et al.ARTICLELGBT Health2015

    Sexual minority individuals face unique stressors because of their sexual identity. We explored associations between parental reactions to children's coming out, internalized homophobia (IH), social support, and mental health in a sample of 257 sexual minority adults. Path analyses revealed that higher IH and lower social support mediated the association between past parental rejection and current psychological distress. Mental health providers m…

    Heidi M Levitt, Sharon G Horne et al.ARTICLEJournal of GLBT Family Studies2015

    In the Southern United States, gay family is a term given to constructed social networks formed by mostly African American gay and transgender adolescents and adults in the face of marginalization and rejection from their biological families and religious communities.

    Rural and urban sexual minority mothers' parenting experiences related to sexual orientation were compared. Participants were 414 mothers in same-sex relationships with at least one child under the age of 18 years living in their home who was planned with their current partner. Rural mothers were more likely to be biological parents and not adoptive parents. Rural mothers reported higher rates of discrimination from strangers and people in servic…
