I think I'm interested in Gender Roles for this course.

I am considering the following articles: Gender role, Gender studies, and Gender roles in non-heterosexual communities.

I found Costa and Davies’ (2012) study titled, "Portuguese Adolescents' Attitudes Toward Sexual Minorities: Transphobia, Homophobia, and Gender Role Beliefs.

While psychologists, Costa and Davies (2012), found that enforcing conservative gender roles, a social structure, is correlated with holding negative feelings and ideas for the LGBT community. Sub-subsection

Division of Labor
Maura Kelly and Elizabeth Hauck’s research on the division of labor in same-sex couples found that due to the nature of a same-sex relationship, any divisions of labor cannot be viewed as setting a precedent as to what gender roles are normal (2015). A female partner in a same-sex relationship may perform chores that are considered feminine, like cooking, cleaning, and child rearing. However, the other female partner may perform chores that are considered masculine, like outside work and employment outside of the home. The partners’ behaviors do not support gender roles because all the roles performed are done by females. There is not an inherent distinction made between masculine and feminine because females are the ones performing both types of chores.

Kelly and Hauck’s study found that labor in same-sex couples is divided on the basis of time availability and personal preference. These factors are more influential in the division of labor than the belief that the labor should be divided evenly between the partners in same-sex couples.

Division of Labor

Maura Kelly and Elizabeth Hauck conducted research on the division of labor within same-sex relationships through interviewing a sample of same-sex couples (2015). Kelly and Hauck found that no division of labor within a same-sex relationship can be viewed as setting a precedent as to what gender roles are normal. A female partner in a same-sex relationship may perform chores that are considered feminine, like cooking, cleaning, and child rearing. However, the other female partner may perform chores that are considered masculine, like outside work and employment outside of the home.

Annotated Bibliography
1. This source details research on the division of labor in non-heterosexual relationships. I'm using this source to create a new subsection under the "Parenting, marriage, and the family" section titled "Division of Labor".

2. This source explores how non-heterosexual families are viewed by society and how non-heterosexual marriages compare to traditional gender roles. I plan to use this source to create a new subsection in the "Parenting, marriage, and the family" section and compile the various perceptions of non-heterosexual families in one section. This source will be part of that compilation.

3. This source describes different family values and how non-hetero families can hold those values. I plan to use this source in the new subsection I'm creating under the "Parenting, marriage, and the family" section. This source would be included with other perceptions of non-hetero families.

4. This source goes into detail about the gender roles of the partners in lesbian couples. I can use the information provided in this source to contribute to the "Division of Labor" subsection and perceptions subsection. I would also like to start a section on parenting in non-hetero families. This source could also be used in the parenting subsection.

5. This source provides research on how same-sex parents raise children in terms of enforcing gender roles. In the research, there is an element of how other people view the parenting of the same-sex couples. I can use this source in my perception and parenting subsections.

6. This source researches heterosexual attitudes on same-sex marriages and what factors contribute to those attitudes. I plan to use this source in my perception subsection.

7. This source explored the effects of parenting by different couples on adopted children. There were heterosexual couples, homosexual male, and homosexual female couples that participated in the study, and the effects studied included emotional and behavioral responses to the parenting. I plan to use this in my perception subsection.

8. This source explores the views of children raised by non-hetero parents on gender roles and sexual orientation. I would use this source in my parenting subsection.

The partners’ behaviors do not support gender roles because all the roles performed are done by women. There is not an inherent distinction made between masculine and feminine because women are performing both types of chores. This lack of gender role discrimination would be true in same-sex relationships between two men as well.
