Advances in gay rights coupled with increased availability of alternative reproduction techniques have led to an unprecedented number of openly gay and lesbian parents. Estimates are that between 6 and 14 million children in the United States are being raised by at least one parent who is gay. Yet, very little is known about how gay or lesbian headed families function, or whether they differ in any relevant ways from families headed by straight parents.\u003cbr\u003e Written by two developmental psychologists, The Gay Baby Boom reports the findings of The Gay and Lesbian Family Study, the largest national assessment of gay and lesbian headed families. By asking participants detailed questions about the way they parent, the authors are able to describe for the first time exactly what takes place within gay and lesbian headed families across the county. Traditional research has tended to assume that there is something uniquely different and potentially psychologically damaging about children being raised by gays. The authors draw on their data to show these fears unfounded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suzanne Johnson, Elizabeth O'Connor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.28h x 5.58w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814742617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2002 pg. 1886\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJohnson, Suzanne:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Suzanne Johnson is Associate Professor of Psychology at Dowling College.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eO'Connor, Elizabeth:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Elizabeth O'Connor has taught as an adjunct faculty member teaching in social and developmental psychology at Dowling College and St. Joseph's College in the psychology and education departments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40801559609459,"sku":"9.78081E+12","price":42.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_df7abdb8-cb61-4a78-a422-b86213bbca4a.jpg?v=1682426245","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-gay-baby-boom-the-psychology-of-gay-parenthood-9780814742617","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
