Abstract (summary)
For human beings, the first significant
social group we belong to is our family.
Family can mean genetic connections,
but it can also be meaningfully created
close social bonds by those who are
not genetically linked as well. How we
talk, not just to, but about persons in
that group are important and can
resonate throughout our social world.
A critical discourse analysis (the
process by which individuals use
language to accomplish personal, social
and political endeavour’s (Starks &
Trinidad, 2007, p.1374)) was done on
persons who had close personal
connections with those who are
LGBTQ2S+ to examine how they speak
about them.
