“…This construction of reality determines how individuals think, feel, and behave about people and events in the present, and it also shapes their future (Borden, 1992;Schnitzer, 1993). We had been told that diverse parents face a common stage-wise process of adjustment (Bernstein, 1990;Bozett & Sussman, 1989;Crosbie-Burnett, Foster, Murray, & Bowen 1996;Herdt & Koff, 2000) with the potential of progress from negative emotions and affect to acceptance and affirmation. We expected the parents' individual renditions not only to shed light on such theories but also to allow us to see those things the diverse parents uniquely perceived to be most valuable in coping and in developing their positive reactions.…”

“…At the same time, it should be noted that people have families of origin and families of creation that incorporate both heterosexual and GLBT members (cf. Crosbie-Burnett, Foster, Murray, & Bowen, 1996;Weston, 1991). Empirical work in this area has tremendous potential for the development of more inclusive family theory.…”

SUMMARY Heterosexism as an interpersonal dynamic at weddings was examined using feminist critical science. Data were collected from 45 gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people who attended focus groups. Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender participants described multiple interactions in which they were devalued or hidden while het-erosexuality was elevated, as well as interactions in which they or another family member resisted heterosexism. Weddings were perceived to be difficult, and participation in them was questioned. As part of their critique of weddings, participants offered a vision of relationships that was based on commitment, rather than heterosexuality or material benefits. Results of this study were used to create a brochure and Website for educating heterosexual people planning weddings.

In a review of 718 articles submitted for publication in the Journal of Marital & Family Therapy between the years 1990 to 1995, only 7 dealt with GLB issues (R.-J.…”

Despite the growing clinical and research literature dealing with gay, lesbian, and bisexual (GLB) issues, mainstream psychology has tended to ignore much of the work that has been done in this area. This article illustrates how clinical and research writings on GLB issues continue to remain invisible to mainstream psychology in such areas as life span development and aging, teenage suicide, substance abuse, victimization and abuse, and family and couple relationships. It also deals with some of the determinants of well-being among GLB individuals, such as family support, and notes the benefits accruing to mainstream psychology from studying GLB issues. A network of family members within psychology having GLB relatives has been formed--AFFIRM: Psychologist Affirming Their Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Family--and is dedicated to supporting its own family members, encouraging other family members to do likewise, supporting research and clinical work on GLB issues, and closing the gap between GLB clinical and research work and mainstream psychology.
