“…Consequently, the prevalence of negative attitudes creates contextual stressors that adversely affect gay people's health and families (Prendergast & MacPhee, 2018). Research has suggested that religiosity, the traditional gender ideology, and the quantity/satisfaction of contact with LG people all contribute to fostering negative attitudes and discrimination toward LG people as well as toward SSM and LGP (Webb & Chonody, 2014). One of the most widespread aspects of discrimination toward LG people is the lack of equality in SSM and LGP (Hull, 2003).…”

“…Up to 6 million children and adults in the United States have an LGB parent, and nearly 220,000 children in the United States younger than 18 years of age are being raised by parents in a same-gender relationship (Gates, 2013(Gates, , 2015. Despite copious research documenting that children raised by parents in same-gender relationships evidence few, if any, differences in psychological adjustment from their peers being raised by parents in heterosexual relationships (Gartrell & Bos, 2010;Wainright, Russell, & Patterson, 2004), the potential effects of a parent's sexual orientation on children's well-being remains a source of continuing public and political debate (Cheng & Powell, 2015;Manning, Fettro, & Lamidi, 2014;Webb & Chonody, 2014). More than a third of Americans do not believe that LGB individuals should have the right to adopt a child (Gates, 2015).…”

Parental Sexual Orientation and Children's Psychological Well‐Being: 2013–2015 National Health Interview Survey

Debate persists about whether parental sexual orientation affects children's well-being. This study utilized information from the 2013 to 2015 U.S., population-based National Health Interview Survey to examine associations between parental sexual orientation and children's well-being. Parents reported their children's (aged 4-17 years old, N = 21,103) emotional and mental health difficulties using the short form Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). Children of bisexual parents had higher SDQ scores than children of heterosexual parents. Adjusting for parental psychological distress (a minority stress indicator) eliminated this difference. Children of lesbian and gay parents did not differ from children of heterosexual parents in emotional and mental health difficulties, yet, the results among children of bisexual parents warrant more research examining the impact of minority stress on families.

“…Humanising and linking lesbians and gay men into Irish families as sons, friends, work colleagues and others effectively countered the overt vilification of “deviant homosexuals” and required a different tactic than those used in the 1990s. Yet, these subtle and unsaid references are heard clearly by LGBT people and the furtive link to concerns regarding children is a powerful heteroactivist tactic (Webb & Chonody, ). These suggestions draw from discourses about the free‐floating foreign contagion of homosexuality and nestle in the anxieties regarding the threats posed to national borders, identities and sexualities (Conrad, ).…”

Legislative and cultural changes have produced significant shifts in sexual and gender rights. Although this has been extensively studied in relation to those who have “won” and in relation to the normalisations that these changes create, there is little scholarship on the emergence of new resistances to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans equalities. We employ the term heteroactivism to name the ways that resistances to sexual and gender rights have moved from vilifying “the homosexual,” towards more subtle and nuanced resistances in places with sexual and gender equalities legislation. Geography is key because legislation and its enactment varies spatially, and national legislations and imaginings recreate distinctive, place‐based heteroactivism. Paying attention to the ideologies of those who opposed same‐sex marriage in Ireland's 2015 referendum, this paper explores how the boundaries of Irishness were central to heteroactivist campaigns, drawing on specific invocations of relatedness between a female child and her mother, the quintessential Irish Mammy. Using a close reading of the textual and visual elements of a “Vote No” poster, the paper elucidates the presences and silences of new forms of resistances that seek to recuperate what was once not only “common sense” heterosexuality, but also seen as the essence of Irishness. In doing so, the paper extends understandings of sexuality–gender–nation–state nexus by critically interrogating the ideologies of those who contest progressive state sexual and gender legislation.
