- W69659853 abstract "Lesbian and gay issues are increasingly being recognised politically and legally ashuman rights issues. Within psychology, however, they have rarely been exploredwithin a rights framework. The purpose of this study is to investigate support forand reasoning about lesbian and gay issues employing an explicitly rightsperspective, using a multi-method approach. In order to provide a broad overview ofsupport for and reasoning about rights among British students, a Human RightsQuestionnaire was developed based on existing homophobia and human rightsscales. This questionnaire was completed by 627 students, and subjected to statisticaland thematic analyses. This was followed up by six tape-recorded focus groups withstudents, whose discussions of these issues enabled a more in-depth understandingderived from thematic analyses of their transcribed data. Finally, in order to explorearguments against lesbian and gay rights, a textual analysis of Hansard andnewspaper reports of the Age of Consent debate was perforined as a case study.Findings of the thesis are as follows. First, whilst respondents to the questionnairesupport the general principle that a person's sexual orientation should not block thatperson's access to basic rights and freedoms, they are less willing to extend specifichuman rights to lesbians and gay men, especially social rights (e.g. right to marry, rightto adopt children). Second, although in the focus groups students sometimes employedhuman rights arguments in relation to lesbian and gay issues, they tended to show initialsupport followed by an evaluation of potential considerations in extending rightsto lesbians and gay men using arguments which are not rights-based. As the case studyalso illustrates, when lesbian and gay issues are specifically addressed in rightsterms, they are countered with arguments which are derived from other frameworks(e.g. religious conviction, protection of the vulnerable), rather than with argumentsw1iich are themselves rights-based. The findings are discussed with a view toestablishing how best to promote lesbian and gay rights in order to achievepositive, social change for lesbians and gay men." @default.
