The research findings presented in this artilce discuss a number of themes and areas of concern in relation to the undertaking of household chores. These include gender-negotiation and motherhood; childcare continuation, social class and class ambivalence, and the impact of family background/relatives and external community expectations. In concluding, the article reveals the complex intersections of parenthood, gender, sexuality, geography, social class, and heteronormative expectations in informing and structuring household labor and childcare patterns within the same-sex family unit.","PeriodicalId":46967,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GLBT FAMILY STUDIES","volume":"16 1","pages":"32 - 46"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2020-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1550428X.2019.1570414","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48928819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Utilizing the resiliency and intersectionality perspectives of minority stress, this study seeks to address this gap by examining the effects of community and individual resilience on psychological well-being among gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer (GLBTQ) people of color in emerging adulthood. Specifically, the extent to which perceived family support, GLBTQ community involvement, and perceived neighborhood homophobia are associated with psychological well-being is examined; as well as the extent to which sexual identity prominence and outness explain these associations. Utilizing data from a national sample (N = 941), our results highlight the direct effects of community resilience on psychological well-being as well as the mediating effects of sexual identity outness. In addition, perceived neighborhood homophobia was negatively associated with sexual identity outness and psychological well-being, and positively associated with sexual identity prominence.

Individuals who are rejected by their parents often report mental health concerns, whereas individuals who perceive sexuality-related support from their parents report higher self-esteem and improved well-being. However, researchers have conducted limited work in exploring the nature of sexuality-related support within the family. The purpose of this study was to explore how gay and lesbian college students created meaning out of their coming-out process to their parents. The study posed the following research question: What are the lived experiences of gay and lesbian college students who have experienced support from their parents during the coming-out process? Seven current gay and lesbian students who came during college were interviewed about their relationship with their parents before, during, and after their coming-out disclosure. Using a phenomenological analysis, 9 major themes were identified: awareness of feeling different, positive relationship prior to coming out, college impacting the coming-out process, feeling unsure of how parents would respond to disclosure, parents assuring continued love and acceptance, parents affirming identity, increased relational depth with parents, increased sense of authenticity, and an appreciation for family’s response and support. The findings provide insight into how counselors might work with gay and lesbian college students and their parents. Opportunities for future research and limitations are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":46967,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GLBT FAMILY STUDIES","volume":"16 1","pages":"102 - 83"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2020-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1550428X.2019.1593278","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46837583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, such familial dynamics can be challenged when involving sexual identities that do not align with familial values or traditional cultural expectations in Latina/o families, such as queerness. Thus, the author proposes the concept of precarious familismo to capture adverse, supportive, and disparate familial dynamics that can occur among Latinas/os when queer identities are involved. In doing so, he accounts for the influence of systems of oppression. To illustrate the functioning of precarious familismo, the author developed a two-part model.

We conducted a systematic review of the literature and identified and evaluated 32 assessments in seven categories: abuse and conflict, couple’s relationship, sex, experiences of affiliates of GLBT family members, family functioning, parenting, and attitudes toward GLBT families. About half of the measures reviewed had adequate reliability and validity evidence and were recommended for use. Although none were normed using random sampling techniques, several included national samples increasing the likelihood of generalizability to the target population. The categories of abuse and conflict and family functioning were the least developed, and normative data for trans families were lacking across all categories.

We conducted a search for articles using PubMed, PsycInfo, and Web of Science for empirical articles in English published in the past 15 years on GBM in a relationship, assessing attachment, and relationship functioning as predictors of health outcomes. We found 649 articles. After screening, 23 articles were identified and reviewed. Findings overwhelming identified HIV risk as the primary health outcome. Attachment was associated with relationship functioning and sexual risk behaviors. Relationship-specific components were largely used as predictors of sexual HIV transmission risk behaviors. Together, these studies suggest that relationship functioning is a prospective link between attachment and health-related outcomes. The literature has yet to examine empirically dyadic-level mechanisms that may explain the association between individual attachment and health outcomes aside from HIV risk, and needs more examination of other health disparities affecting GBM.</p>","PeriodicalId":46967,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF GLBT FAMILY STUDIES","volume":"16 5","pages":"488-513"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1550428x.2019.1682740","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"38578053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
