Carrington states that “many lesbian and gay authors feel the need to present ourselves, and our communities, to the dominant culture in ideal terms.” Why is this the case for many LGBTQ authors?
a. It is natural and normal for all groups of people to present themselves in a way that will be seen as favorable and this phenomenon is often seen in research on heterosexual and other majority communities, as well. b. LGBTQ authors often present these families in ideal terms because the empirical data supports this notion. c. The marginalization, negative stereotypes, and stigma applied to LGBTQ families puts pressure on these families to be respectable and high-functioning to be seen in society as “acceptable,” even preferable. d. LGBTQ communities are not welcoming of research on their families and would be reluctant to participate in research if it’s not favorable.
