Document Summary

The emergence of sexual identities: sexual acts versus sexual identities, only two categories of sexual activities existed: Those socially approved (intercourse with your spouse, only with the intent to have children) Stigmatized and serves as a basis for prejudice. Recruited men and women who identified as gay/lesbian and had a same sex twin. Also had a separate group who had an adopting sibling. From this perspective it does make a difference (yes it does) Created kinship: living apart together- a relationship in which two people define themselves as a couple but do not live together, two types: Constraint- have children from a previous relationship and prefer to keep the household the way it is, etc. (something that"s stopping you).
