Does a Gay and Lesbian Community Exist?
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report
discusses whether or not a Gay and Lesbian community truly exists
in America and what exactly that means. Those who would question
whether or not a Gay and Lesbian community actually exists would
be remarkably hard pressed to prove that it doesn’t. With
celebrity admission of homosexuality, the changes in the
political structures of society, and the ongoing sense of
acceptance throughout numerous “mainstream” social institutions
such as those associated with religion or higher learning, the
existence of the Gay and Lesbian community cannot be discounted.

Family Acceptance of Homosexuality
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page essay/research paper that looks at Gloria Feliciano's play "Between Blessings," which is a poignant account of a twenty-eight year old Puerto Rican son, Diego, finally telling his proud, macho, traditionalist father that he is gay. In this work, Feliciano's use of language and dramatic devices serves to expand the scope of the play beyond the immediate domestic situation between father and son and, in so doing, brings up issues of culture and religiosity, specifically the stand of the Roman Catholic Church on homosexuality. This factor of the play is achieved by framing the confrontation between Diego and his father within scenes that feature a family friend, Father David, a priest who is also homosexual. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Family Systems Theory And Lesbian Family Members
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Homophobia is more widespread than most people would like to believe, even – and sometimes especially – when family members are involved. At issue with the
circumstances of having a lesbian family member as it relates to overall interaction are the fears, expectations and disillusions that come rushing to the surface when homophobes are forced to deal with such associations. The writer discusses how utilizing
family systems theory as a means by which to overcome the resistance inherent to having a lesbian family member has proven beneficial in establishing the necessary hierarchy,
roles and boundaries that are necessary for the healing process to begin. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Family Theory Applied to a Fictional Family Unit
[ send me this paper ]
A 26 page paper dissecting the family depicted in the movie “The Birdcage” for the purpose of assessing according to family and nursing theory. The paper briefly describes the film and applicability of nursing theory and intervention both to individual family members and to the family unit as a whole. The largest section of the paper evaluates the family in terms of Friedemann’s Family Assessment (long form). The paper concludes that even though the family depicted (a middle-aged gay couple and a grown heterosexual son) carries a nontraditional appearance, it is nonetheless highly traditional in terms of values and commitment to other family members.
