2464 - The Implications of Legal Marriage: LGBTQ Individuals and Same-Sex Couples

Sun, August 11, 2:30 to 4:10pm, Sheraton New York, Floor: Third Floor, Carnegie West

Session Submission Type: Paper Session 100min

Description

This session addresses the implications of legal marriage for LGBTQ individuals and same-sex couples. The first set of papers papers uses mixed methods (i.e., surveys and interviews) to address how same-sex couples view marriage when they have the option to legally marry. The second set uses population-based surveys to examine whether sexual minorities reap the same health benefits of marriage as do heterosexuals. This consideration is particularly important in the post Obergefell v. Hodges context.
