Family Relations, v52 n1 p72-81 Jan 2003
Surveys rural gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender people (GLBT) and inductively analyzes their responses to open-ended questions regarding aspects of being GLBT in that area. "Best things" included close relationships, high quality of life, involvement with GLBT social networks, and self-acceptance. "Worst things" included weak and fragmented GLBT resources, living within a homophobic social climate, and lacking equal rights. (Contains 31 references and 2 appendixes.) (GCP)
