Research Invitation:-

Are you aged between 18 and 29 years? Do you have at least one parent who has 'come out' as lesbian or gay from a heterosexual identity during your childhood?

My name is Rudie Pamer and I am a postgraduate student in the School of Applied Social Studies at University College Cork. I am looking for volunteer's to participate in my masters thesis "The experiences of young adults when their heterosexual parents 'Come Out' as lesbian or gay."

You can participate in this study in four ways:-

1. Online questionnaire:- Will take no longer than 15 minutes. Follow the link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/XCDSYM3

2. Informal face-to-face interview:- Will last about 40 minutes.

3. Taking part in a once off focus group:- Max 6 people, lasting approx 90 minutes.

4. If you do not feel like taking part in this study at all, please tell your friends, colleagues, partner, neighbours etc. about it and pass on this info. Thankyou.

Participation is open until the end of May 2012

The benefit of study is that by exploring this topic and hearing directly from individuals and their experiences it will help us understand how children deal with changing family situations.
