How Do Heteronormative Perspectives Affect Same-Sex Parents?, Michelle Nicole Mcnevin

Theses Digitization Project

This study focused on same-sex couples that are co-parenting children in the United States and the differences in parenting that were elicited when faced with heteronormative perspectives in society. Understanding how these families disclose the nature of their same-sex family provides the social worker with insights on how to work more effectively with these families and create more inclusive space for these families throughout the community.
