About the Popular Magazine Article and Scholarly Journal Article on My topic

     The popular magazine article I found is entitled "Get a Room!" Webb-Mitchell, B. (2008). Get a room! Advocate, (1011), 19-19.
The sholarly journal article I found is "Growing Up in an Same-Sex Parented Family: The adolescent Voice of Experience" Journal of GLBT family studies [1550-428X] Welsh yr:2011 vol:7 iss:1 pg:49 -71. 
     The former focus on  a gay father who has two children. He is talking bout his family experiences while his children are going to school and progress through their career  from middle to high school ; while they are growing up and talking to him regarding thier sexuality and attraction to the opposite sex. 
      The latter talks about voice to a special group of young people who are out going in public eye amid a storm of polical, legal, and social change but rarely observed and engage in the debate about their sexual development as they have been raised by same-sex parents.  A total of 14 adolescents who range from 13 to 18 years of age were interviewed.  According to the author,this qualitative method of study allowed for each participant to explore their thoughts, feelings, and perceptions, thus creating an opportunity to assign meaning to their experiences. Special questions are asked to them while they are interviewed such as  (1) Family Concepts, (2) Development of Self, (3) Tough Times and Tough Transitions, (4) Coming Out, and (5) Communities of Understanding.
      By comparing both articles , I will say they talk about the same topic: gay family and their influence in sexual orientation, education, and development of their children in a society where it is difficult to either themselves or their children to find a place in the society. However, the articles are quit different because the magazine is focus on only one gay family and voices are coming from the all family includes their two children. The scholar is more focus on a group of young people who are between 13 to 18 years old while they are reserved regarding their home'lives  in one side but out going  where observed in public.
