This will give you a good idea of the range of scholarly work that has already been done in this area (and if you are interested in doing your documentary video project on families with same sex parenting, this would be a great source for your annotated bibliography!).
(Links to an external site.)Focus your discussion post upon the research you examined. What were the key findings about gay and lesbian relationships in Gottman’s research? (Links to an external site.)Discuss the information you found most important in each of the 4 main sections of the APA’s publication. Be specific. Next, share what you learned from the What We Know page. Finally, which of these sources (Zach Wahls video, Gottman research, APA publication, or What We Know summary) did you find most valuable in expanding your understanding gay and lesbian families? Why?
