Diverse families and sexualities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Abbie Goldberg<\/a>\u2019s research examines diverse families, including LGBTQ-parent families and adoptive-parent families, as well as the experiences of marginalized groups such as trans youth. A central theme of her research is the decentering of any \u201cnormal\u201d or \u201ctypical\u201d family, sexuality, or gender, to allow room for diverse families, sexualities, and genders. For the past 20 years, she has been conducting a longitudinal study of lesbian, gay, and heterosexual adoptive families. In addition, she is currently conducting several studies examining the effects of state and federal legislation (e.g., regarding LGBTQ rights, reproductive rights) on LGBTQ people and families.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
