Paceley, Megan S.
Motivations for Involvement in Nonmetropolitan LGBTQ Organizations A Multimethod Qualitative Exploration / [electronic resource] : Megan S. Paceley,Lance C. Keene &Benjamin J. Lough. - pp. 102-125.
Organizations serving lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) communities provide services aimed at improving the health and well-being of LGBTQ people, yet may face limited resources and community support in nonmetropolitan communities. This study seeks to understand LGBTQ individuals’ motivations for becoming and staying involved in nonmetropolitan LGBTQ organizations. Data collection methods included interviews, participant observation, and focus groups. Six categories of motivations emerged: (1) to access support and resources; (2) to establish an LGBTQ community; (3) to be generative; (4) to affirm identity; (5) to support an LGBTQ organization; and (6) to combine one’s personal and professional lives.
