▼ M.A.
Despite the fact that same-sex marriage was legalised in South Africa in 2006, predominant societal attitudes towards gay couples remain negative. In the face of this opposition, samesex couples who choose to marry are often in need of support, but may find that support lacking because of the stigma associated with being gay. This study sought to explore what happens with family support in particular when a gay couple chooses to marry legally. Using a narrative qualitative method, informed and influenced by phenomenological research and grounded theory, the researcher sought to explore and describe the experience of three female same-sex couples and the impact their legal marriage had on family support. One in-depth unstructured interview was conducted with each couple. Data were collected and analysed concurrently to identify story plot and themes related to family support, and how that support changed over time. Although no specific trends related to changes in family support emerged, the study revealed that 1) same-sex marriage was a form of ‘coming out,’ 2) couples did desire family support throughout the process of getting married, 3) couples desired support particularly in the form of validation of their identity and engagement/involvement in the preparations for getting married, and 4) for many families, offering support was a process that involved assimilating the idea of gay marriage. In addition, emerging theory seemed to suggest that moments of crisis and family rituals have the potential for increasing the level of family support offered to married gay couples, and that having the opportunity to tell their stories and hear the stories of other married gay couples was significant to the couples involved in the study. Implications for social work practice related to these theories were also identified. Finally, it is hoped that the rich and detailed description shared by the couples in this study added critical depth to an area of research (same-sex marriage) that is generally neglected.

▼ Same-sex relations also known as homosexuality has undoubtedly become a topical issue in recent years especially in Africa. Some scholars have argued that same-sex relations is not from Africa whiles others have also argued that it has been present in Africa since time immemorial. The Christian community has made some contribution in regard to the issue globally. The Metropolitan Community Church, Catholic Church, the Anglican Church and the Presbyterian Church have given much attention to same-sex relations by documentation. Neo-Pentecostals who form part of the largest Christian community in Ghana is used for this research in order to also have a comprehensive perspective on same-sex relations from their angle.
This research is qualitative in nature. Phenomenological approach is used for this research because this approach helps to understand the meanings people ascribe to a phenomenon. Due to the sensitive nature of the research, snowball sampling technique is used. In order to have a proper perspective of the phenomenon, interviews were conducted among two dominant Neo-Pentecostal churches which were Action Chapel International and International Central Gospel Church. Pastors, leaders and members of these churches were interviewed. Christians involved in same-sex relations were also interviewed.
The findings revealed that pastors and leaders have a positive perception towards people involved in same-sex relations whiles members to a large extent have a negative perception. However, pastors, leaders and members have positive relationship with people involved in same-sex relations.

▼ The current study sought to investigate the relationship between 1) gender and bias towards lesbian and gay couples adopting, 2) gender and bias towards gay couples adopting a boy or a girl, and 3) gender and bias towards lesbian couples adopting a boy or a girl. Research questions investigated a) the relationship between gender and adoption bias and b) the relationship between gender and bias towards gay men and lesbian women. The Attitudes Toward
Same-
Sex Couples as Adoptive Parents Scale (ATSCAP) assessed for bias towards lesbian and gay couples adopting. Lesbian Couples Sub-scale (LCS) measured bias towards lesbian couples adopting, and the Gay Couples Sub-scale (GCS) measured bias towards gay couples adopting. The Adoption Belief Scale (ABS) measured bias towards adoption and was used to rule out participants with greater bias towards adoption. The Modern Homonegativity Towards Gay Men (MHS-G) and Lesbians (MHS-L) measured bias towards gay and lesbian individuals. A total of 92 valid responses were used for this study (59 females and 33males). In this study we found no statistical differences between the aforementioned hypotheses. The only statistical difference found in this study occurred between gender and the MHS-G and MHS-L. Men reported greater bias than women towards gay and lesbian individuals. Independent sample t-test(s) were used to test the above hypotheses. Implications of the results, limitations and directions for future research are presented.

▼ Previous scholarship suggests that religion tends to play a role in people's attitudes towards
same-
sex marriage. The purpose of this study is to examine whether four aspect of religion (church attendance, church affiliation, religiosity, and conflict between religious beliefs and homosexuality) play a role in shaping attitudes towards
same-
sex marriage. Data from the Pew Research Centers 2013 Political Survey were utilized (N = 1504), and OLS regressions were used to test the hypotheses. The results indicated that conflict between religious beliefs and homosexuality was the strongest predictor of unfavorable attitudes towards
same-
sex marriage. It was also found that compared to non-religious, Catholics and Jews tend to have more favorable attitudes towards
same sex marriage, whereas other Christians were found to have less favorable attitudes. The results of this thesis suggest that religion does play a significant role in attitudes towards
same-
sex marriage, especially conflict been religious beliefs and homosexuality.

▼ This research explores how older same-sex couples in Scotland imagine their future. While there is a growing number of sociological studies looking at lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) ageing, these mostly focus on the intersection of age and sexual identity, often leaving out the impact of the past and present lived experiences on the ageing process. Sociological studies of time, and, more specifically, of the future, often exclude older populations due to assumptions that older people belong to a non-futurity (Sandberg 2015) because they are closer to the end of their lives. Similarly, studies on sexuality tend to explore younger people’s experiences, invoking the idea of the asexual older age. By drawing on Adam and Groves’ (2007) theory of imagined futures, Mead’s (1934) work on the role of time in constructing identities, and May’s (2013) idea that the self and society are relational, this research argues for the exploration of older age and the future as mutually constructive. To that end, the thesis asks the following question: How do older same sex couples navigate the intersections of sexuality and ageing in imagining their futures? In answering this question, the research addresses the future needs, hopes, concerns, and fears of older same-sex couples in Scotland, and explores how the lived experiences of the participants’ past and present figure in the imagination of their futures. Drawing on fourteen semi-structured joint interviews with seven same-sex couples in Scotland, and on written accounts the couples produced between the interviews, the research explores the construction of the couples’ past, present and future lived experiences. The interviews and written accounts highlight the role of the past and present in the couples’ imagination of the future, which is conceptualised through collective, interpersonal and imagined relationships. The findings also show that not only do these couples think about the future, but they also actively participate in its formation, through political activism and public engagement, imagining the future of Scotland as utopian. Based on these findings, the research argues for a closer examination of the relational aspect of personal biographies and the socio-historical contexts of people’s lives in studies about the experience of ageing in same-sex couples. By exploring the lives of older same-sex couples, and by presenting their stories and sharing their hopes, fears, and imaginations of the future with a wider audience, this research gives a voice to a (still) invisible population in ageing and sexuality studies. From an empirical perspective, the research investigates the lived experiences of older same-sex couples in Scotland within the socio-political contexts of their youth, middle, and older age, and explores the couples’ joint constructions of their futures. Methodologically, the study contributes to the utilisation of semi-structured joint interviews in conducting qualitative research and exploring couple relationships. The thesis argues…

▼ This thesis addresses the significance of marriage to
same-
sex cohabitating couples in the United States, 2012 – 2014,
using data from the American Community Survey. We first consider
differences in marriage rates between opposite- and
same-
sex
couples and to what extent differences in the probability of
marriage between opposite- and
same-
sex couples decrease when
controlling for a couple's degree of access to marriage. The
analysis is repeated by age group, considering the benefits of
legal marriage at different life stages. We then note
same-
sex
couples are less likely to specialize, have a lower probability of
homeownership, and have fewer children than opposite-
sex couples.
We attempt to answer to what extent these differences are
attributable to differences in marriage rates rather than
differences in other endowments or behavior through a series of
Oaxaca decompositions. We then estimate the effect of marriage, all
else equal, on the three household decision variables separately
for opposite- and
same-
sex couples to isolate differences in
behavior. Lastly, we compare
same-
sex marriage effects in states
that do and those that do not recognize
same-
sex marriage and
attempt to confront the selection bias embedded in our estimated
marriage effects. We claim that smaller marriage effects among
same-
sex couples may reflect that many had adjusted to their prior
lack of access to marriage.

▼ In this study I drew from 17 in-depth interviews with nine gay men and eight lesbian women who were in or previously had been in a committed
same-
sex relationship. My goal was to understand how cisgender women and men in a
same-
sex relationship define commitment in the era of marriage equality. I approached the research using standard principles of analytic induction. I drew from social construction theory and symbolic interactionism theory to help me make sense of the data. Emergent from the data were the themes for importance of constant open and honest communication within the relationship and negotiation of the relationship. I found that those in
same-
sex relationships negotiated with their partner(s) the boundaries of fidelity, tolerance of infidelity, commitment, and the meaning of marriage. Furthermore, those who were in an open relationship or those who were more tolerant of an open relationship showed an ability to compartmentalize sexual and emotional feelings involved in extra-dyadic sexual encounters. Despite having been historically excluded from the institution of marriage, it appears that these women and men are in the process of constructing and giving meaning to commitment and marriage in an era of marriage equality and increasing visibility of
same-
sex relationships.

▼ During the past ten years, Mexico has witnessed incredible progress in the fight for rights of its gay and lesbian citizens. In 2009, Mexico City became the first city in Latin America to legally permit
same-
sex marriage. Several years later, the Mexican Supreme Court ruled that marriages performed in the capital must be recognized in all 31 of the country’s states. This is dramatic social change in a nation where nearly 80 percent of the population self identifies as Catholic. So how did a predominantly Catholic country, with a reputation for a dualistic approach to gender become one of the Latin American leaders in
same-
sex rights? Using data from the Latin American Popular Opinion Project (LAPOP), this paper examines levels of support for
same-
sex marriage in Mexico, changes in that support between 2010 and 2012, and the factors that explain these shifts.

The Residential Segregation of Same-Sex Partnered Households from Heterosexual Partnered Households: Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the U.S., 2010.

▼ Reliable data are the key for studying LGBT population, and U.S. census data provides the largest and most geographically representative sample of gay and lesbian families available in the United States. By using census data, this dissertation offers a better understanding of the location and segregation patterns of
same-
sex couples in metropolitan areas in the U.S. It also fills an important information gap by providing an empirical perspective to the vibrant policy and intellectual debates affecting the lives of gay men and lesbians.
This dissertation seeks to examine the extent to which
same-
sex partnered households are residentially segregated from heterosexual partnered households in 100 U.S. metropolitan areas. It also answers: Which factors are related to the homosexual-heterosexual segregation in the U.S.? Do gay and lesbian couples voluntarily or involuntarily segregate from heterosexual couples? How might metropolitan areas be expected to vary in their levels of homosexual-heterosexual segregation?
I calculated the segregation index, D-index (conventional version and unbiased version) for 100 U.S. metropolitan areas by using the 2010 census data. Interesting findings emerged from the results: Over all, there was a higher level of homosexual-heterosexual segregation in the 100 U.S. metropolitan areas in 2010. However, the level of homosexual-heterosexual segregation decreased after changing the D-index from the conventional version to the unbiased version. That is to say, within the metropolitan areas, residential segregation between
same-
sex couples and heterosexual couples might be partially caused by random segregation, but the levels of segregation were still significant even after controlling for the biases of the conventional D-index.
Results of this dissertation also showed that
same-
sex male couples tended to be more segregated from heterosexual couples than
same-
sex female couples; “Gayborhood” and “Lesbianville” might not always be located at the
same place, and partnered gays and lesbians did not necessarily follow the
same patterns of segregation; Lastly, both gay and lesbian couples tended to be more residentially segregated from married heterosexual partners than they were from unmarried heterosexual partners.
In order to provide explanations for homosexual-heterosexual segregation, I raised my research questions and developed my hypotheses by applying ethnic enclave models in the literature. Three models were developed to test the hypotheses: Voluntary Model, Involuntary Model, and Welcome Model. Finally, the hypotheses were highly confirmed by the multiple regression results, and I had evidence to conclude that the segregation between
same-
sex couples and heterosexual couples was voluntary, and gay and lesbian couples settled down more often in places that were liberal and friendly.

▼ In this thesis I examine civil unions from the perspective of New Zealand-based
same-
sex couples who have chosen to formalise their relationship. My approach is qualitative and in-depth and focuses on interpreting participants' own meanings and beliefs while also recognising the need for broader contextual knowledge. Through participants’ narratives, I explore why it was important for couples to have a civil union, how they chose to mark or enact the occasion, and the meanings they attribute to their choices and actions. Rather than treating the civil union as an isolated event, my analysis situates the civil union within four longer processual trajectories: individual biographical narratives, partner interactions, close social relationships, and trajectories of a socio-political nature. I then explore the contours of participants’ civil union ceremonies in terms of scale, style, and symbolic content. Throughout the thesis, I argue that civil unions facilitate incorporation for
same-
sex couples on a number of levels: incorporation in terms of inclusion in an important ‘meaning-constitutive’ practice; familial incorporation; and incorporation into mainstream society more generally. The incorporating effects of civil unions owe much to the symbolic capacities of law, the meaning inscribed in the socially dominant cultural model of marriage, and the characteristics of ritual. The importance of ritual to the anthropological enterprise is reaffirmed through this study; not only do rituals provide an important lens through which to examine the normative values of society but also the origins of social revitalization.

▼ This study represents a first attempt at modifying existing interpersonal partner
violence (IPV) bystander intervention measures to apply to
same-
sex IPV as well as an
initial examination of what predictors are important when determining a participant’s
intentions to intervene in a
same-
sex IPV situation. Latané and Darley’s (1970) bystander
model was used as a framework to guide this study. A total of 293 male and female
students at a Midwestern university completed surveys developed to measure various
factors regarding
same-
sex IPV including awareness of
same-
sex IPV, involvement in
IPV awareness or prevention efforts, feelings of responsibility for stopping IPV, and
efficacy to intervene and intentions to intervene in IPV situations involving friends and
strangers. Factor analyses were conducted on students’ responses to the modified
measures. Results supported the validity and reliability of these scales. Following the
factor analyses, multiple regression analyses were performed to evaluate the contribution
of different variables when predicting participants’ intentions to help friends (who are
lesbian or gay) and strangers (who are lesbian or gay). Overall, the strongest predictor of
intentions to help in IPV situations involving lesbians and gay men as well as for both friends and strangers was bystander efficacy. Other significant predictors included
participants’ feelings of responsibility to stop
same-
sex IPV, awareness of
same-
sex IPV,
being involved in
same-
sex IPV prevention efforts or programs, and being female. It
should be noted, however, that these predictors were not consistently significant across
each model. The results and their implications for research, practice, and program
development and implementation are discussed in light of prior research on IPV
bystander interventions.

▼ Foster and adoptive parents are crucial in the child welfare system, with the large number of foster children in the system at any time.
Same-
sex foster and adoptive homes are underrepresented in the child welfare system, despite the shortage and need for more certified foster and adoptive homes. There are limited studies documenting the experiences of gay and lesbian foster and adoptive parents. Some research has demonstrated that "non-traditional," or
same-
sex couples are met with more obstacles to become certified foster and adoptive parents, in comparison to their heterosexual counterparts. This qualitative study explores the experiences of
same-
sex foster and adoptive parents during the certification process. The findings suggest that social workers need to gain more knowledge regarding the values and practices of
same-
sex families, provide resources specific to
same-
sex family challenges, be sensitive to the unique circumstances of
same-
sex families, and most importantly, treat
same-
sex couples equally during the foster and adoptive certification process. Further research is needed looking at the areas of Family Court and judges' rulings, as well as social workers' perceptions in working with
same-
sex foster and adoptive parents.

This thesis examines the use of ballot initiatives at the state level to determine whether the presence of certain types of ballot initiatives cause an increase in voter turnout at the state level. This study is unique in that rather than focusing on individual level voting behavior to explain why an individual may or may not be more likely to vote with the inclusion of ballot initiatives, I focus on aggregate level data to answer the following questions: do certain types of ballot initiatives have an effect on voter turnout? If so, how large is the effect? Collecting data from all ballot initiatives that appeared in the United States from 1998-2014, my research disputes the conventional wisdom that ballot initiatives have any effect on voter turnout during a presidential election. However, my research shows a four percent increase in turnout when any initiative appears on the ballot and a nearly five percent increase in voter turnout when an initiative concerning same-sex marriage appeared on the ballot during a non-presidential year election.

▼ At a time when much if not all of the world is feeling the financial pinch of an economic recession, the attitudes that people and couples specifically, hold toward money could be the difference between weathering a financial storm or facing the specter of mounting debt and monetary uncertainty. Little scholarly research exists that can adequately measure money attitudes in individuals and couples and next to nothing exists in the reviewed literature that pertains specifically to
same-
sex couples in this area.
This study utilized a 34 item survey, without modification, created by Edward J. O'Brien III, PhD., during his dissertation research with the intent learning more about the general money attitudes held by individuals or couples. Specifically, the study focused on the money attitudes in self-identified
same-
sex couples in a committed relationship for a minimum of 5 years in comparison to heterosexual married couples who had also been together for a minimum of 5 years. In order to be included i the research, both members of the couple had to complete the survey. Those results were then used to examine the money attitudes in
same-
sex couples vs. heterosexual couples based on the subscales of (1) flexibility, (2) evil, (3) responsibility,(4) self-esteem, (5) opportunity, (6) well-being and (7) confidence, the established constructs put forth in the O'Brien Attitude Toward Money Scale. Additionally, participants were asked to complete 6 voluntary demographic questions that were not included in the original study.
The data was collected using SurveyMonkey.com and the statistical test used was the ANOVA. A total of 20
same-
sex couples and 21 heterosexual couples returned usable data that figured into the statistics. The researcher found that there is no statistically significant difference in the scores between the two groups in overall score on the O'Brien ATM nor was there any statistically significant difference in the constructs of the O'Brien ATM.

▼ The purpose of this study was to interpret the lived-experiences of some individuals who viewed their long-term committed relationships as a marriage. This was done in order to begin to reveal the underlying meaning of marriage for some people in 21st century America. This hermeneutic phenomenological study used Bowlby’s (1969, 1982) Attachment Theory and Bronfenbrenner’s (1979, 2005) Bio-ecological Model of Human Development to explore how married individuals bond with each other and adjust to their bio-ecological environments. Van Manen’s (1990) Lived-Existentials were also used to interpret how these participants oriented to their lived experiences and interpreted their life stories.
Prior to the landmark Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruling in favor of national marriage equality, some members of society argued against marriage equality for gay people. Recently, a few presidential candidates have threatened to overturn the ruling. Consequently, the debate over what marriage is and who deserves to be legally recognized as married has resurfaced in the national conscience. Although the Internet provides several interpretations of marriage, this study explores the deeper underlying meaning that some people place on their marital relationships, by hermeneutically interpreting their lived-experiences.
For this qualitative study, 12 persons (9 heterosexual and 3 homosexual) were interviewed about their marital relationships prior to the June 26, 2015 SCOTUS ruling on marriage equality. A Facebook social media page was created to solicit and inform potential participants of the study. Face-to-face and telephone interviews were conducted and audio recorded. The results were summarized into four themes: The Freedom to be Vulnerable with One’s Spouse; Communication beyond Words: Developing the Spiritual Connection; Safety; and Marriage as Union: Merging two into one.
Understanding the lived-experiences of persons engaged in what they describe as marital relationships, regardless of their sexual orientation, is essential to revealing the underlying meaning placed on marriage, which many feel is an expression of one’s humanity. This understanding helps to assist members of the helping professions break down potential barriers that may lead to mental and physical health issues for their clients. The researcher offers suggestions for continued research in this area.

▼ After years of contentious and polarising debate,
same-
sex marriage was legalised both in the US and Ireland in 2015. However, the relative autonomy of American states and the country s vast size make a single state, like California, more appropriate as comparison with Ireland. So, although Ireland s population is more akin to a single county in California, the whole state was selected because it provides a more comparably diverse demographic and government size. This project, then, investigates the relational dynamics between pro- and anti-
same sex marriage campaigners in California (US) and Ireland. The juxtaposition of Californian and Irish proponents and opponents of
same-
sex marriage in this regard is informative. Although different in population size and religious demographics, there are a number of similarities between the campaigns and campaigners that make it a valuable comparative study. Building on existing work that investigates the central ideologies embroiled in this socio-political conflict, this project is concerned with the human experience of relevant activists.
Based on a review of literature, this project identifies ideological, religious and cultural factors that have contributed to the creation of oppositional identities between these two groups through both a sociological and religious studies lens. A qualitative methodology is applied to data collected through semi-structured interviews with politically active members of public campaigns for and against the legalisation of
same-
sex marriage in California and Ireland. The relationship between private experience and public expression is explored. Analysis of the responses demonstrates the outsized role that emotion plays in post-legalisation perceptions of the process and result, with particular regard to personal grievance. The impact of the campaign process, including its strategic design, is assessed and connections between activists in the US and Ireland are illuminated.
The social and political implications of the legalisation of
same-
sex marriage in Ireland (2015) and California (2012) are, then, appraised to identify ideological, political and cultural barriers preventing interaction and dialogue between these two groups. Jonathan Haidt s Moral Foundations Theory is employed to give insight to the role that moral instinct plays in the respondent s political decision-making. It also sheds light on the power of personal narrative as a means of connecting across worldview divides.
Finally, a critical analysis of Rawlsian liberalism shows the inhibitive role a restrictive proviso has had on inclusive discourse around
same-
sex marriage. In light of this, this project shows its conflict is better supported by a Habermasian post-secular political framework, which encourages the equal valuing of secular and non-secular voices in public discourse. However, the results of this project challenge Habermas s post-secular emphasis on the religious/secular worldview divide. Instead, findings indicate the greatest worldview divide currently…

Decriminalising same-sex conduct in

▼ In Cameroon, as in many other African countries,
there is a law prohibiting
same-
sex relationships. The relevant
provision, Article 347bis of the Cameroonian Penal Code (Law No
65-LF-24 of 12 November and Law No 67-LF-1 of 12 June 1967), states
as follows: “Whoever has sexual relations with a person of the
same-
sex shall be punished with imprisonment for from six months to
five years and fine from 20 000 to 200 000 francs.” This study
assesses the law criminalizing
same-
sex relationships in Cameroon
as being discriminatory and encouraging a homophobic society and as
contributing to the stigmatization and marginalization of lesbian,
gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. Both State and
non-State actors in Cameroon do not accept the practice of
homosexuality due to the conservative nature of traditional
cultural values and religious beliefs. Consequently, presumed LGBT
people are frequently harassed, persecuted and arbitrarily arrested
on suspicion of their sexual identity. Moreover, the rejection and
denial of LGBT people make them live in fear and hiding. It also
exposes them to the greatest risk of HIV infection. It is argued in
this study that the criminalisation of consensual
same-
sex conducts
violates the rights to privacy, equality, fair trial, human dignity
and the principle of non-discrimination enshrined in the Cameroon
Constitution and the various international human rights instruments
that Cameroon has ratified. It also deprives LGBT people of their
rights to education and health merely on the basis of them being
who they are. The finding from this study indicates that the law
alone is not enough to make a social change. Perspective and inputs
from other disciplines such as Sociology, Anthropology, Psychology
and Science of Education need to enhance the arguments for the
decriminalisation of
same-
sex conduct. This study also shows the
harmful impact that the law criminalising
same-
sex behaviour has on
LGBT people as well as the society as a whole. Thus, it is very
important for the Cameroonian government to take the first step
towards decriminalisation of
same-
sex relationships in order to
respect its obligation to respect, promote, protect and fulfil
everyone‟s human rights without distinction of any, according to
its international commitments and agreements. The government should
also take a great and dynamic initiative regarding the educational
aspect because education is a vital key for significant progress
and change.

▼ Scholars consider news media coverage an important factor in understanding social movements' success. Some organizations are more successful in gaining coverage than others. Scholars suggest this relates to organizational characteristics, political contexts, and journalists' media routines and news values. Media coverage can be further distinguished into substantive or favorable coverage as defined by organizations getting not just mentioned, but quoted and getting their claims or demands in coverage. Moreover, local media differ from national media in their focus on local voices and actors. But, what does local media coverage of a national movement look like in local contests? When reporters have access to national, state affiliated, or local organizations, which organizations speak for the movement? Do journalistic news values and routines apply uniformly to all movement actors in coverage?This study addresses these questions using a content analysis of 1113 newspaper articles appearing across 8 daily capital city newspapers ranging in dates from 2000-2011. Using data from the content analysis a small dataset was created for statistical analysis. This study finds that organizational characteristics, tactics, political contexts, and journalists' routines and news values influence the quality and quantity of coverage that organizations receive. Overall, local organizations dominate coverage, especially during legislative and public referendum fights. However, coverage tends to focus on just a small handful of local organizations and coverage is subject to a rigorous balancing norm. These are either established local organizations or newly formed issue specific coalition organizations. National organizations appear more consistently than state affiliated organizations, but the quality of their coverage is best in judicial contests and limited in legislative and referendum contests. An examination of other actors in coverage reveals that not all movement coverage is rigorously balanced like organizations' coverage. Religious organizations, bystanders, and the photographs accompanying coverage are unbalanced. These results indicate that organizational characteristics, tactics, political contexts and local journalists' priorities influence local news media coverage outcomes. Further, some elements of a movements' coverage can escape the strong balancing norm to provide valuable opportunities for favorable coverage.

▼ It is recommended that physical education (PE) students spend 50% of class time in physical activity (PA). Instructional setting and instructional models are a few factors that can affect student PA levels. The purpose of this study was to compare PA levels of junior high school PE students participating in coed and same-sex PE classes that followed the tactical games instructional model during four sport units. Participants were 446 PE students enrolled in the seventh, eight, and ninth grade. Two experienced PE teachers, one female and one male, conducted all classes. Participants completed eight lesson units in basketball, volleyball, flag football, and soccer. Classes were randomly assigned as coed or same-sex. ActiGraph GT1M accelerometers were worn by all students to monitor PA levels and cut-points were used to characterize PA as light or moderate-to-vigorous (MV). A three-way between-subjects analysis of variance was conducted to evaluate the effect of gender, class setting, and grade level on PE students’ PA levels for each activity unit. Males were more active than females in every activity. For the most part there was no difference in PA for males between the same-sex and coed setting for all units. Females spent a higher percentage of time in MVPA in the same-sex setting for most activities. There were small grade effects but in general the percent of time being active decreased with increasing grade levels. Each sport activity showed a unique effect on PA levels due to gender, setting, and grade level when using the tactical games approach.

▼ This thesis explores how
same-
sex intimacies are navigated by young women in contemporary urban Senegal. Central to this research are various social spaces where sociality and sexuality are co-constructed among women. The analysis is based on six months of ethnographic fieldwork in urban Senegal, predominantly Dakar, with a focus on participant observation to grasp the tacit knowledge of
same-
sex intimacies. In particular, this thesis examines the football field, local queer organisations and a variety of other homosocial environments such as the home and queer parties. Through a careful adherence to the Senegalese value of sutura (discretion, modesty), by making use of play, and by displaying respectability, homosocial spaces ranging from the relatively private home to the fairly public football field allow for the occurrence of
same-
sex intimacies. This thesis makes use of Henrik Vigh’s (2006; 2009) conceptualisation of social navigation to understand how enacting
same-
sex desires is a twofold process of balancing personal desires and social expectations. The social environment is an ambiguous terrain in which expectations of proper womanhood, marriage, and parenthood need to be calibrated even as such expectations may change over time due to processes of globalisation, economic recession, or governmental changes, as well as with age, as new expectations and responsibilities arise as people grow from youth into (social) adults. This thesis will demonstrate how women navigate their
same-
sex intimacies in different ways in various social spaces, drawing on Henri Lefebvre’s (1991 [1974]) conceptual triad of social space. In these social spaces, gender is enacted relationally, and shifting notions of masculinity (jump) and femininity (sexy) attest to the ambiguity and fluidity of gender constructs. Together, these social spaces and the
same-
sex intimacies that they enable form a loosely connected community of practice (O’Mara 2013) that combines a specific lexicon (jump and sexy) with tacit understanding of
same-
sex intimacies. By examining how young women navigate existing spaces and create alternative spaces in trying to secure decent lives for themselves, this thesis shows how these different spaces form central loci of urban social reproduction. In these spaces, symbolic manifestations of gendered bodies coalesce into a network of queer women. Examining corporeal and erotic interactions between women helps theorise how these performative aspects of life contribute to the intersubjective meaning-making of sexuality and a sense of being at home in the world.

▼ M.A. (Clinical Psychology)
Same-sex marriage is legally recognized in South Africa and thereby casting gay men as acceptable sexual citizens. Gay men who choose not to marry are subject to further sexual discrimination. To explore the constructions and social meanings of gay men in same-sex marriage, four self-identified gay men who had been married for at least a year were interviewed. Guided by a social constructionist epistemology, discourse analysis of these interviews exposed the effects of language in the shaping of identities. The analysis found that the married gay man positions himself as a ‘decent’ sexual subject and assumes the heterosexist ideology of marriage, which discriminates the single gay man as amoral and ‘deviant’. The married gay men used the discourses of healing, othering, protection, rights and playing straight that entrenched heteronormativity as a moral and sexual authority thereby reinforcing homophobic prejudice. Policy and socio-political recommendations were made to address the legal concept of equality from a Queer Theoretical perspective and for the training of psychologists to include critical engagement with gay subjectivity and the gay cultural world.

▼ The purpose of this study is to contribute to the existing literature in the fields of Marital Intimacy and Healthy Friendships and adding empirical research about how the two constructs correlate. Currently, there is a gap in the literature regarding the effects of adult friendships on marital intimacy. Participants had to be in an ongoing heterosexual marriage for at least three years, be at least 18 years old and live within the United States in order to take an online survey that evaluated friendship levels and marital intimacy dynamics. Data was collected via the following instruments: Personal Assessment of Intimacy in Relationships (PAIR), Couple Satisfaction Index (CSI), Friendship Quality Scale (FQUA) and Intimate Friendship Scale (IFS). The first 200 respondents who complete the survey will have their responses analyzed. The analysis will include the participants’ intimacy level with their partner and level of friendship with individuals outside the marriage. The results of this analysis will be reported in this manuscript. A non-probability sampling method will be employed. An independent samples t-test and a moderated multiple regression analysis will be used to evaluate the non-probability sample, and the results will include the analysis of the reported scores from the above instruments.

▼ This study investigates the relationship between marriage equality and its impact on parenting and committed monogamous relationships for lesbian women. Specifically, this study aimed to explore how marriage equality, or the lack there of, affects the daily lives of lesbian mothers and their children. As part of this study, the contours of the
same-
sex marriage debate are reviewed. Additionally, the debate itself is explored to help understand how it has taken shape both within and outside the GLBTQ community. Following this examination of the discourse surrounding
same-
sex marriage, research on lesbian family dynamics is discussed. This line of research provides an important compliment to a focus on legal consciousness. Notably, how marriage equality or lack thereof matters in the lives of lesbian families necessarily includes attention to the day-to-day experiences in such families.
Advisors/Committee Members: Sherif Trask, Bahira.

Obergefell v. Hodges and the Judicialization of Same-Sex Marriage in America: Legalizing the Impossible.

▼ In Obergefell et al. v. Hodges, Director, Ohio Department of Health, et al (Obergefell), 2015, the US Supreme Court supposedly legalized same-sex marriage across America, thus, resting the “right to marry” advocacy in America post-United States v. Windsor. The Court premised its decision inter alia, on the quest for expansive protection of the rights to marriage and equality under the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution. Nonetheless, Obergefell still generates mixed pro-love discussion in legal, academic, sematic, socio-cultural, religious, and political circles inside and outside America. This paper distinguishes “civil union” from “marriage” and argues that logically, socio-religiously, scientifically, grammatically or otherwise, “same-sex marriage” is a mere jargon because marriage is naturally and practically impossible between persons of the same biological sex. The paper concludes that Obergefell is a judicial endorsement of an impossibility, and a somersault of human dignity. It may seem afro-centric, but it certainly furthers scholarship on marriage and “the other side” of Obergefell.

Nationalizing same-sex marriage: assessing the effect of Baehr v. Lewin on the Federal Defense of Marriage Act.

▼ Since the Defense of Marriage Act, the issue of
same-
sex marriage has dominated the political discourse of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender politics. Scholars claim that the litigation in Hawaii that took place in the 1990s was responsible for the subsequent political activity surrounding
same-
sex marriage in the United States, including the Defense of Marriage Act, but none has empirically tested this claim. This paper seeks to understand whether or not the litigation in Hawaii prompted congressional action that resulted in the introduction of the federal Defense of Marriage Act and if so, why. By using Kingdon's multiple streams framework as a guiding tool, this research evaluated different political participants and factors to understand how the litigation in Baehr v. Lewin (74 Haw. 530; 852 P.2d 44; 1993) connects to the federal Defense of Marriage Act. This paper finds that the litigation in Hawaii is the catalyst that prompted the subsequent activity that resulted in the Defense of Marriage Act by energizing a well organized coalition opposed to
same-
sex marriage to expand the political debate and move the issue of
same-
sex marriage from the state courts in Hawaii to Congress.

▼ While
same-
sex marriage rights have expanded to twelve states, the time-lag in research and publishing has meant that most published studies on
same-
sex relationships has relied on a hodge-podge of
same-
sex relationship types. This study uses interview data with
same-
sex couples who have wed in the years after marriage became available and examines their incentives to wed and the decision making process they go about in planning their weddings. Against a backdrop of larger debates in the queer community surrounding assimilation and access to benefits, couples are changing how we must think about marriage and creating new norms for the institution. This study seeks to answer the following questions: This raises the following questions: How do a group of people previously barred from a legal institution make the decision to enter into that institution? Do they consciously see the act of marrying as a political decision, as a flouting of convention or as a reproduction of it? Does this shift to marriage represent an assimilationist tendency on the part of participants, or are they changing relationship norms and the institution of marriage itself? Studying the ways in which
same-
sex couples answer these questions allows us to see the meaning making that those couples do when engaging in public rituals and they will be shaped by access to this institution while changing marriage itself.

▼ This paper explores how gay men in unmarried partner households responded to legal changes in the recognition of their relationship. The goal of the paper is to understand if there exists a premium to recognition that increases the wages of gay men in relationships with respect to other gay men in identical relationships that receive no recognition. This paper finds evidence that there is a strong and significant marital premium in states that recognize same-sex couples. The effects are strongest for marriage and weakest for domestic partnerships.

▼ Same-sex experiences are more prevalent than is thought. Individuals often engage in
same-sex behaviours in order to understand their same-sex attractions, which may result in the
incorrect integration of a homosexual or bisexual sexual identity. Same-sex behaviour may also
lead to feelings of guilt and shame, and can result in confusion regarding sexual identity, which
could ultimately influence the successful integration of a sexual identity (a key developmental
task during adolescence) and subsequent stages of an individual’s life. This study investigated
how young males experienced their sexual identity after having same-sex experiences. In order
to better understand these experiences, this study also looked at sexual identity and its
development from a psychosocial approach. In addition, this study also took a phenomenological
approach into account to better understand how young males understand their same-sex
experiences within their socio-cultural context.
The qualitative research method was used because it aims to understand how people make
sense of their everyday lives and foregrounds participants’ perceptions and experiences. When
researching human behaviour, context and behaviour cannot be separated and therefore a
phenomenological design was used. The population included five young males who lived in the
Boland and Northern suburbs of the Western Cape and who have had same-sex experiences. The
participants were selected utilizing the non-probability (convenient purposive) sampling
technique, however, the sampling procedure also made use of snowball sampling.
Biographically, the participants were between the ages of 18 and 24, and had different sexual orientations. The participants included black and white students who spoke Afrikaans or English,
and originated from different provinces in South Africa.
Data were collected through a two-part semi-structured interview. The first interview
focused on questions about the participants’ sexual preference and identity, same-sex
experiences and support system. During the second interview participants were asked to make a
collage representing how they viewed their sexual identity with regards to the same-sex
experiences they have had. This interview also focused on member checking. The collages and
member checking served as forms of triangulation.
Data were transcribed and analysed by means of a content analysis that focused on four
main categories. These categories corresponded to four main questions that formed part of the
first interview. The researcher concluded that each participant experienced his sexual identity
and same-sex encounters differently and that none of them experienced the development of their
sexual identity as ‘natural’ or as something that was present from birth. They all experienced
confusion and conflict about their sexual preference because it was in contrast to their sociocultural
context. Same-sex experiences were the result of confusion but also caused confusion
and this confusion was mostly experienced…
