Lavender Islands: Portrait of the Whole Family
Articles and Publications
It is always important to read any information on any website with a critical eye. All of the papers from the Lavender Islands project have appeared in peer-reviewed journals. Where possible, we have included a direct link to the electronic version of articles that have appeared; where this is not possible we have linked to a pdf version of the article. Articles so far:
Education
The LI data show that the more educated someone is, the later they are likely to come out! This seemingly counter-intuitive finding is explored in this article, which appears as Henrickson, M. (2008). Deferring identity and social role in lesbian, gay and bisexual New Zealanders. Journal of Social Work Education, 27 (2), 53-65. This article also considers the idea that an LGB identity may be related to social class.
“You have to be strong to be gay” found that the effects of bullying on LGBs can be lifelong, in both educational attainment and income. This appears as Henrickson, M. (2007). “You have to be strong to be gay”: Bullying and educational attainment in LGB New Zealanders. Journal of Gay and Lesbian Social Services 19 (3/4), 67-85; co-published as a chapter in James Sears (Ed.) Homophobic Bullying. New York: Haworth Press.
The effects of heteronormativity and heterosexism on sexual minorities in different Asia-Pacific cultures is considered in 'Social Work Education and Sexual Minorities', chapter 9 in Social Work Education: Voices from the Asia Pacific (C. Noble, M. Henrickson and I.Y. Han, Eds.). Carlton North, VIC: Vulgar Press. (This book is available for A$40 from Vulgar Press.)
Healthcare
Perceptions of lesbian, gay and bisexual people of primary healthcare services This paper looks at the issue of well-being from a nursing perspective. It was a featured article on its release. It appears as Neville, S. & Henrickson, M. (2006). Perceptions of lesbian, gay and bisexual people of primary healthcare services. Journal of Advanced Nursing, 55 (4), 407-415.
Relationships
Stephen and Mark have developed a paper on LGB relationships that has been published in a nursing journal. Although the publisher has restricted access to this article, you can find it at Neville, S. & Henrickson, M. (2008) Lavender Relationships: An LGB Perspective. Journal of Clinical Nursing, 18: 849-856.
Our most recent published article, Civilised Unions, Civilised Rights: Same Sex Relationships in Aotearoa New Zealand appears in the Journal of Gay and Lesbian Social Services 22 (1) 40-55. It suggests that it is the right to marry, rather than actually taking advantage of that right, which is important to LGB individuals.

This articles continues the exploration of religion in the lives of LGB New Zealanders, but includes more qualitative data: voices of the participants themselves.
Another article in Journal of Religion and Spirituality in Social Work 28 (1/2): 48-62, explores why contemporary religious controversies seem to focus on sexual minorities. See the article Sexuality, religion and authority: Towards reframing estrangement.
