"Russell's data is moving and powerful, and I would expect this
book to become an essential referent for gay rights activists in
the future."
--"SIGNS"
When, in 1992, the citizens of Colorado ratified Amendment 2,
effectively stripping lesbians, gay men, and bisexuals of
protection from discrimination under the state's constitution, the
vote divided the state and left the gay population disspirited and
angry. Their psychological predicament offered an opportunity to
examine the precise intersection at which the individual meets
social oppression.
Voted Out is the first to document the psychological impact of
anti-gay legislation on the gay community, illustrating the range
of reactions, from depression, anger, and anxiety to a sense of
empowerment and a desire to mobilize, which such legislation can
engender. It also offers a detailed account of an innovative team
approach to the qualitative coding and analysis process. Blending
traditional quantitative methods with more innovative qualitative
analyses, it provides a valuable opportunity to compare
quantitative and qualitative data focused on the same issue within
one volume.
The volume specifically addresses researchers' use of the
results of their research beyond publication and the ways in which
research undertaken to examine a social issue can be returned to
the community.
