- Le Rockway Institute est un centre de recherche et de politique publique LGBT basé à la California School of Professional Psychology de l'Alliant International University de San Francisco, en Californie. Fondé en 2007, il porte le nom du psychologue clinicien bisexuel Alan Rockway, qui a participé activement au mouvement de défense des droits des LGBT en Floride dans les années 1970. Le fondateur et premier directeur exécutif du groupe, Robert-Jay Green, a décrit son organisation initiale comme un groupe de 10 membres du corps enseignant et de 20 boursiers spécialisés dans la recherche LGBT. Il a déclaré que la recherche professionnelle avait déjà joué un rôle clé dans la promotion des droits des LGBT, citant les premières études qui ont conduit à la décision de l' American Psychiatric Association de retirer l'homosexualité de son système de classification des maladies mentales en 1973. Il a déclaré que « toutes les affaires judiciaires et les audiences législatives actuellement en cours concernant le mariage homosexuel, les droits parentaux LGBT, le harcèlement des jeunes LGBT dans les écoles et la discrimination au travail contre les employés LGBT utilisent très largement les résultats de la recherche en sciences sociales et en santé mentale ». Dès 2015, l'Institut décrivait sa mission en ces termes : Robert-Jay Green a également souligné l'importance d'éduquer les journalistes afin de contrer les porte-parole anti-gay comme James Dobson de Focus on the Family qui « rejettent fréquemment et catégoriquement toutes les recherches existantes de bonne réputation sur les questions LGBT » et de contrer le travail de chercheurs discrédités. Un porte-parole de Focus on the Family a rétorqué que « nous avons examiné ce que les militants homosexuels ont mis en avant et avons trouvé qu'il manquait. Il ne répond pas aux normes fondamentales des sciences sociales. Cela témoigne du désespoir des militants homosexuels de donner de la crédibilité à leurs objectifs politiques. » (fr)
- The Rockway Institute is a center for LGBT research and public policy based at the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University in San Francisco, California. It was founded in 2007 and named for bisexual clinical psychologist Alan Rockway, who was active in the LGBT rights movement in Florida in the 1970s. The group's founder and first executive director, Robert-Jay Green, described its initial organization as a group of 10 faculty members and 20 fellows with expertise in LGBT research. He said that professional research had already played a key role in advancing LGBT rights, citing early studies that lead to the decision of the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from its mental illness classification scheme in 1973. He said that "all of the currently active court cases and legislative hearings concerning same-sex marriage, LGBT parenting rights, harassment of LGBT youth in schools, and workplace discrimination against LGBT employees make very heavy use of social science and mental health research findings." As of 2015, the Institute described its mission in these terms: A primary goal is to organize the most knowledgeable scientists, mental health professionals, and physicians in the United States to provide accurate information about LGBT issues to the media, legislatures, and courts. In addition, the Institute conducts research to answer the nation's most pressing LGBT policy questions in the areas of couple/family relations, mental health, education, and health care. Green also emphasized the importance of educating journalists in order to counter anti-gay spokespeople like James Dobson of Focus on the Family who "frequently and categorically dismiss all reputable existing research on LGBT issues" and to counter the work of discredited researchers. A spokesperson for Focus on the Family countered that "We've looked at what homosexual activists have put forward and found it lacking. It doesn't meet basic social science standards. It speaks to the desperation among homosexual activists to give credibility to their political goals." (en)
