The relationship between masculinity, femininity, and androgyny on the one hand, and the use of different means of influence in marriage on the other, was investigated. Sixty married men and 60 married women served as subjects. It was found that androgynous husbands tended to use fewer
last-resort, dependency and authoritative, and more give-up means of influence. Androgynous wives tended to use significantly less give-up, accommodative, dependency and authoritative means, than did other groups. It can be concluded that different sex-role types will also differ in the use
of means of influence in marriage.

If the language we use influences and reflects the way that we see the world, then the fields of LOVE, SEX, and MARRIAGE, will show how speakers of English view their closest social and emotional relationships. Love, Sex, and Marriage provides a classification of English terms for these three fields from the earliest written records of the language until the present day. This volume makes it possible to trace changing attitudes towards social and sexual ties, and to understand those ties as earlier speakers of English did, through the language they used. The terms are arranged by meaning, and are listed chronologically within semantic fields, with their dates of usage. Notes on individual terms provide further information about their connotations and development. Language does not exist in isolation from the people who speak it, so background information about changes in social conditions, religious beliefs, and medical advancements is also included. A brief introduction to basic semantic terminology explains the principles behind the classification, and an alphabetical index facilitates the location of individual terms

What's a girl to do? -- My orgasm, my self -- Just pick someone, already -- Everyone else manages to do it, so why can't I? -- This is a test -- Having our cake and eating it too -- You can't run out of love -- It's not necessarily what you think -- The four (not-so) easy steps -- Our very own happily ever after

This presentation attempts to give an overview of the private international law rules pertaining to same sex relationships (marriages and partnerships) in Europe, in order to examine whether there exists a consensus among the countries concerned, what are the difficulties arising out of the lack of consensus and how these difficulties can best be tackled. The proceedings of the conference will appear in a book published by Intersentia (Boele Woelki/Fuchs, Legal Recognition of Same-Sex Relationships in Europe, Antwerp, 2nd ed. 2011). ; Peer reviewed

Li sees through the media's white noise on the issue of same sex marriage to discover that opponents of Proposition 8 often made claims about the past to sway public perception. These arguments were based on claims evoking a historical sense of the institution of marriage, but to a certain extent they were untrue. This book attempts to dispel some of the misperceptions around the concept of marriage in a historical context. Li also shows that homosexual and heterosexual couples are not exactly the same, and marriage is differently understood. She goes above and beyond merely explicating how th.

Homosexuality is a behavior of social deviation that is considered to violate human nature and violate the norms that exist in Indonesia as a civilized country according to the First Precepts and Second Precepts. Ironically, there is no legal umbrella that can ensnare homosexuals, whereas if viewed from homosexual criminology this is included in crime because crime is not only considered as something that violates the rules contained in the legislation but something that is considered to violate the values values and norms that exist in society that disturb security order and something that harms the community. From the point of view of criminology, as well as the legal arrangements governing LGBT if it is linked to the Criminal Code, and prevention and control efforts so that LGBT can be overcome. The method used in this study is a juridical approach, which is done by examining primary data by direct observation in the field. The factor behind a person being a part of homosexuals is environmental factors because the environment can lead someone in a negative or positive direction and if related to criminology according to my analysis can be related to Differential Association theory where crime can be learned through close communication. The legal regulation governing LGBT is still considered weak and if it is linked to the Criminal Code it cannot yet fully regulate LGBT because the elements in it have not been fulfilled and there is still a legal vacuum.

Conducting a multimodal discourse analysis of 40 television advertisements featuring same-sex families across 10 countries between 2005 and 2015, this article examines the discourses of childhood that emerge within the advertisements. It argues that same-sex parented children are dominantly framed within mainstream advertising in ways that are normative in terms of gender and social class. The study shows how same-sex families, while increasingly visible in mainstream advertising, are often discursively constructed by television advertisements in ways that limit subject positions that family members can occupy if they are to be seen as an ideal family unit. The article discusses how exclusionary discourses of same-sex families have implications for social inclusion of such families into social ideals of familyhood, as well as for how children of same-sex parents can be anticipated through discourse prior to being materially encountered.

Though societal acceptance of same-sex unions has grown, resulting in more inclusive government programs and policies and expanded legal protections, analysts remain uncertain about how to identify and enumerate same-sex households. Presently, the counts available of same-sex households in the United States oftentimes disagree. We show that the origins of these conflicting counts can be traced back to definitional and measurement issues in household surveys. In this study, we demonstrate how counts of same-sex households conflict, mislead, and undermine the goal of accurately representing the population of households with same-sex couples. By providing alternative approaches to counting household with same-sex couples we highlight the challenges in enumerating these households. We draw upon three federal household surveys to demonstrate the inconsistencies in the counts of same-sex households and to illustrate our methods. We argue that our proposed methods lead to more comprehensive and credible counts of households containing same-sex couples.
