Social Interactions Among Adult Lesbians and Gay Men
My name is David Lick, and I’m a graduate student at the University of California, Los Angeles. I am a gay man, and broadly, my research examines psychological well-being among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals.
I am currently conducting a study about social interactions among adult lesbians and gay men. Participants must be 18 years old to participate. The study is completely voluntary and anonymous, takes place online, and requires about 30 minutes to complete. Participants will be asked to recall a previous social interaction that involved their sexual orientation and respond to several questions regarding the interaction. They will also complete several follow-up questionnaires that assess psychological well-being and demographic background.
I’d truly appreciate it if you would participate in the survey and post the following link on your website or disseminate it to group members via email.

Sexual Orientation in Social Interactions
You are invited to participate in the TransGender Embodied States of Recognition research project, which explores recognition and experiences using personal identification documentation (IDs). The survey, which may take 10 to 30 minutes to complete, includes questions about your gender identification, IDs and experiences using them, name and pronoun recognition, your transition-related decisions, how you have felt in the past week, and basic demographic information. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TG_States_of_Recognition
As a transguy, I am personally affected and committed to positive contributions regarding trans research. My goal is to provide information that can be used by social justice advocates to help improve our lives. One benefit of this research includes contributing to existing gaps in current research on recognition. Specifically, I hope to provide more evidence and support of the diversity among trans people in order to expand our legal recognition.
Please feel free to contact me or my advisor with any questions you may have about this research or your participation. I may be reached by email at tlwentli@maxwell.syr.edu. My advisor, Andrew London, may be reached by telephone at (315) 443-3252 or by email at anlondon@maxwell.syr.edu. If you have any further questions regarding your rights as a participant, or if you have any questions, concerns, or complaints that you would like to address to someone other than the investigator and project advisor, or you cannot reach either, you may contact the Syracuse University Office of Research and Integrity Protections by phone at (315) 443-3013.
