After a UBC Press Release: “Gay couples face pressure to marry, conform to relationship status quo,” the story was picked up by multiple media outlets, including The Vancouver Sun; CBC; 24 Hours Newspaper (as Cover Article!); The Georgia Straight; VanCity Buzz; and The Washington Blade. Lyon and Frohard-Dourlent also spoke about this work on Our City with Kirk LaPointe (Roundhouse Radio) and Radio Canada (French).
Their co-authored study was recently published in the Canadian Review of Sociology under the title “‘Let’s talk about the institution’: Same-sex common-law partners negotiating marriage equality and relationship legitimacy”.
