  • social attitudes regarding same sex Marriage and lgbt health disparities results from a national probability sample
    Journal of Social Issues, 2017
    Co-Authors: Mark L Hatzenbuehler, Andrew R Flores, Gary J Gates
    Abstract:

    This study examined the health consequences for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations of exposure to communities with relatively high versus low levels of support for Same-Sex Marriage. We used data from the Gallup Daily tracking survey, the largest probability-based sample of LGBT-identified adults in the United States (N = 11,949 LGBT respondents; N = 352,343 non-LGBT respondents), which was linked to attitudinal responses on Same-Sex Marriage obtained from the 2012 Cooperative Congressional Election Survey (N = 54,535). Controlling for potential confounders, higher levels of local approval of Same-Sex Marriage lowered the probability that LGBT (and non-LGBT) individuals reported smoking and fair/poor self-rated health; further, LGBT disparities in smoking were lower in communities where residents were most likely to support Same-Sex Marriage. Findings suggest that local attitudes may be related to the health of LGBT individuals and contribute to sexual orientation health disparities, providing further evidence for the role of structural stigma in shaping LGBT health.

  • In Support of Same-Sex Marriage
    The New England journal of medicine, 2015
    Co-Authors: Edward W. Campion, Stephen Morrissey, Jeffrey M. Drazen
    Abstract:

    Eleven years ago, Massachusetts became the first state in the country to give Same-Sex Marriages full legal recognition. Today, Same-Sex Marriage is legal, through legislative or judicial action or by popular vote, in more than 35 states and the District of Columbia. It is recognized by the federal government. And polls consistently show that it is supported by a clear majority of Americans. However, in Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, and Tennessee, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled in favor of laws and constitutional amendments that define Marriage as a union between a man and a woman only, denying recognition . . .

  • Global Perspectives on Same-Sex Marriage - Global Perspectives on Same-Sex Marriage
    2018
    Co-Authors: Bronwyn Winter, Maxime Forest, Réjane Sénac
    Abstract:

    This book provides a comparative, neo-institutionalist approach to the different factors impacting state adoption of—or refusal to adopt—Same-Sex Marriage laws. The now twenty-one countries where lesbians and gay men can legally marry include recent or longstanding democracies, republics and parliamentary monarchies, and unitary and federal states. They all reflect different positions with respect to religion and the cultural foundations of the nation. Countries opposed to such legalization, and those having taken measures in recent years to legally reinforce the heterosexual fundaments of Marriage, present a similar diversity. This diversity, in a globalized context where the idea of Same-Sex Marriage has become integral to claims for LGBTI equality and indeed LGBTI human rights, gives rise to the following question: which factors contribute to institutionalizing Same-Sex Marriage? The analytical framework used for exploring these factors in this book is neo-institutionalism. Through three neo-institutionalist lenses—historical, sociological and discursive—contributors investigate two aspects of the processes of adoption or opposition of equal recognition of Same-Sex partnerships. Firstly, they reveal how claims by LGBTIQ movements are being framed politically and brought to parliamentary politics. Secondly, they explore the ways in which Same-Sex Marriage becomes institutionalized (or resisted) through legal and societal norms and practices. Although it adopts neo-institutionalism as its main theoretical framework, the book incorporates a broad range of perspectives, including scholarship on social movements, LGBTI rights, heterosexuality and social norms, and gender and politics.

  • Canada’s Same-Sex Marriage Law: Exception to or Exemplar of Canada’s Family Policy?
    Journal of Child and Family Studies, 2011
    Co-Authors: Hilary A. Rose
    Abstract:

    Family policy in Canada is primarily concerned with assisting parents raise their children. This fairly singular approach to family policy is ironic given that Canada does not have a nationally-coordinated family policy. The development of a national family policy has been hampered by Canada’s decentralized governmental structure (i.e., federal and provincial, as well as territorial, governments) and other factors such as diverse geography and different traditions (e.g., a tradition of common law in English Canada, and civil law in Quebec). A recent addition to Canada’s family policy is Bill C-38, The Civil Marriage Act (2005), the law legalizing Same-Sex Marriage. To put Canada’s Same-Sex Marriage law into context, this article presents some preliminary statistics about Same-Sex Marriage in Canada, and considers whether Same-Sex Marriage legislation is a good example of Canadian family policy, or an exception to the rule that Canadian family policy focuses primarily on helping parents socialize their children
