The Social Organization of Sexuality. Sexual Practices in the United States
Abstract
PSYCHIATRIC SERVIcES . February 1996 Vol.47 No.2 205 ture, doubting hen adequacy as a parent, and feeling isolated in what she at first believed to be a unique situation, Dew describes an initial attempt to nun away from society and to hide in order to protect her son, her family, and herself. “Our house had taken on the dimensions ofa single closet, and a closet is no place like home.” The author gives exacting attention to her efforts to integrate her son’s newly disclosed identity into a redefined relationship. Mother and son’s ultimately successful attempts to help one another come to terms with Stephen s sexuality, starting from mitial faltering missteps, are chronicled with dialogues that read almost like process recordings, so vivid are they in their detail. Drawing on hen own initial reaction to her son s homosexuality, Dew confronts the homophobia imbued in our culture and the toll it takes on gay children who struggle to keep their stigmatized identity a secret to avoid

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
