Survey on Queer Family Culture

This post is for those of my readers who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender or who have friends or family members who are.

Troy McGinnis, a doctoral student at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, tells me that he is conducting a study of gay and lesbian family relationships and culture. "I am trying to determine just how different GLBT values and beliefs about family and relationships actually are from the heterosexual majority. I want to know what social forces or demographic characteristics condition a 'pro-marriage' attitude among lesbians and gays. ... The survey is hosted on my personal web site and is conducted under a protocol approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. You can view information about it or even preview the survey if you wish at the following URL: http://www.socioscape.com/quo. Note that the actual questionnaire is resident on a secure server."

Please consider taking the survey. And please pass the word. Thank you.
