Research methods included semi-structured interviews, grand tour, participant observation, field notes, photography, and group discussion. The analytical framework was biography and used participants' life stories to understand their lived experiences. The results reveal how participants learned to adapt to climate, culture, and community in a unique, isolated place. The study also uncovered emergent themes that reveal how aging lesbians feel supported and unsupported by their community. This study reveals the importance of class status in studies about aging lesbians in rural areas and their own perceptions of acceptance and assimilation. Participants' rural location, social environment, and migration are discussed, along with the uniqueness of place, culture and class status.Item Gloria Anzaldúa(Voices from the Gaps, 2005) Jones, Elizabeth; Jones, Elvin; Olson, Jessica; Teale, Rebecca; Curtright, LaurenItem Kleya Forté-Escamilla(Voices from the Gaps, 2001) Neubauer, Emi A.; Parker, MelissaItem LGBT students and allies participating in a school-based support program: School performance, connectedness, and perceptions of school climate.(2008-07) Hansen, AnastasiaLesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) youth are frequently thought to be at-risk in terms of school achievement and socio-emotional variables such as connection to school. Recent research has demonstrated potential of school-based interventions to improve outcomes for LGBT youth. This study compared achievement and school connectedness for a group of high school students participating in a school-based support program for LGBT youth and allies with a group of their peers. Results indicated that no significant differences between groups were found in terms of GPA, attendance rate, or school connectedness. Furthermore, significant differences based upon frequency of participation in program activities were not observed. These results stand in contrast to the majority of previous research. Focus group data indicated that students continue to experience verbal harassment at school, but that they value the support they receive from Gay-Straight Alliance meetings and participants.Item Lorraine Hansberry(Voices from the Gaps, 2004)Item Michelle Cliff(Voices from the Gaps, 2004) Barnes, Erin Marie; Miles, Lily L.; Curtright, LaurenItem Pat Parker(Voices from the Gaps, 1998) Alexander, IleneItem A phenomenological study of the coming out experiences of gay and lesbian Hmong.(2008-12) Yang, Pahoua K.The issue of sexual orientation remains a taboo one in the Hmong community, but one that must be addressed, particularly as more Hmong Americans continue to negotiate multiple identities, including sexual orientation. This study explored some of the internal and external processes involved with the coming out experiences of gay and lesbian Hmong. The aims of this study were to provide space for Hmong lesbians and gay men to tell their stories, to provide gay and lesbian Hmong examples of coming out, and to provide clinicians with an understanding of the unique and common issues with which Hmong lesbians and gay men must contend. Eleven participants, five men and six women, were interviewed using a structured interview guide. Ten of the interviews were transcribed and analyzed using a modified CQR method. Nine domains and 34 themes emerged. The domains that emerged were: meaning-making, language, coming out, family, gender role expectations, the role of religion, intra/inter cultural experiences, life-changing lessons, and hopes. Implications and recommendations based on the findings are also made.Item Review of A Burst of Light by Audre Lorde(Voices from the Gaps, 2005) King, SarahItem Review of The Collected Poems of Audre Lorde(Voices from the Gaps, 2005) Qua, Maggie
