LGBT Friends help a brother out?
I’m working on a Computer Mediated Discourse Analysis project for a course in my PhD program (Information Science at Indiana University) and I’m hoping to analyze some Facebook Messenger conversations between LGBT people and their family members. If you have a conversation that spans a few months before you came out to your family member and a few months after (or are willing to send a full transcript), I would really like to include it in my analysis. I’d also need to know where in the transcript you came out to them.
You can participate completely anonymously, of course. I actually have no interest in specifically who you are, I want to look for trends in how people’s discourse with family changes around the time of coming out.
Message me for details and please reblog if you are interested. I’ll share my findings on Tumblr and with anyone who’s interested! Thanks!
