<p>Thank you Mohamed, this is very informative, I must tell you that in the case of posting in a web based e forum , I usually create the document in MS WORD, where I can edit before I post , then I go on-line copy and paste and post.</p>

<p>This is helpful, Mohamed ... but I still have questions about how to navigate, understand the community and content, and contribute best. I have so little time to peruse posts in detail, yet it seems clear that my interests are shared by members here.</p>

<p>This is helpful, Mohamed ... but I still have questions about how to navigate, understand the community and content, and contribute best. I have so little time to peruse posts in detail, yet it seems clear that my interests are shared by members here.</p>
<p>My son is gay and is studying sexuality in the human development PhD program at Cornell: <a href="http://cornell.academia.edu/MatthewStief">http://cornell.academia.edu/MatthewStief</a>. His undergrad is anthro and he will situate his dissertation study in India.</p>
<p>I also have have a PhD in developmental psychology. My dissertation was about how people navigate identity transitions while leaving ideologically intense groups and establishing themselves in a pluralistic society. So, the personal psychology of group identity (including family system) and social conflict. This of course includes conflict about sexual expression, gender identity, sexual identity, religious practice, etc. </p>
<p>With a bisexual father who volunteered for STD hotlines and later AIDS, and now a gay son, of course I care about what is being done to support the LGBT community and to eradicate AIDS. </p>
<p>One recent development -- Lockheed Martin, a traditional "defense" contractor in the US and internationally, just came out with much more visible support for the LGBT community by establishing and promoting an LBGT Leadership Forum with work to engage allies.</p>
<p>In my own work, I will co-facilitate a local meeting that supports LGBT ex-members of the Jehovah's Witnesses in Philadelphia next month. </p>
<p>So in summary - where might these kinds of ideas or statements connect to content in this online community forum? Because I am not sure and do not have very much time to look. I have a new project editing a book chapter and must work all weekend and then do my full time job during the week.</p>
