Study of gay fathers. 1978.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/26623290

This research investigates the ways in which men who are both gay and fathers resolve the apparent conflict between these often contradictory identities in order to achieve identity integration. Participants were 18 gay fathers all of whom were or had been married. The sample was all white and living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Data were collected by in-depth, open-ended, unstructured interviews. The interviews focused on issues of gay and father identities, and disclosure of either or both of these identities to others. Interviews included questions on topics such as marital history, quality of married life, realization of own homosexuality, reasons for separation and/or divorce, discussion of own homosexuality with others, disclosure of father role to others, and others' reactions to either disclosure. The Murray Center holds copies of transcripts of the interviews.
