Lesbian Marriage Study
Very little research
has been done to understand discovering one's lesbian identity and
slowly coming out while in a heterosexual marriage. This study
seeks to gain a better understanding of the meaning of that experience.
This study, focusing specifically on Tulsa women, invites you to write your "Lived Experience." You must be
female, have been previously married within a heterosexual marriage, and
self-identify as a lesbian.
If you are interested in participating, please call (639-0570) or email Courtney Linsenmeyer-O'Brien.
All names will be kept confidential.
