Sexual and gender minority (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgnder: LGBT) adults experience heightened social discrimination and minority stress throughout their lives because of their minority identities. LGBT older adults are particularly vulnerable to the impact of minority stress as they are more likely to live alone and to be estranged from their families of origin. To cope, many LGBT older adults have developed social networks that include chosen families and non‐biological relatives who care for one another as if they are family. The chosen family resilience strategy renegotiates what it means to do family and is worthy of theoretical examination. We apply the convoy model of social relations as an interdisciplinary framework for examining LGBT older adults' social networks and chosen families. We discuss points of convergence between the model and what is known about LGBT social networks, and we extend the model to account for chosen families and online social connections.

The aim of this article is to provide a theoretical application of transformative learning theory and politicized collective identity framework to examine the process cisgender parents and caregivers of transgender and gender diverse (TGD) children undergo to become advocates for TGD justice. With an intensifying anti‐TGD political climate and anti‐TGD rhetoric, this novel approach to understanding identity development through the lens of these two theories provides a timely and relevant framework for future research to explore motivators for participation in civic engagement for TGD justice among parents and caregivers.

The notion of equality attracts both proponents and critics of nonmonogamy. Inequality is a widely discussed objection to nonmonogamy. Simultaneously, equality is highlighted as a core value in ethical nonmonogamy. The notions of equality and inequality in these debates have not been clearly conceptualized. In order to propose a conception of egalitarian nonmonogamy, it is important to first understand possible inequalities within it. This paper establishes a clearer and in‐depth understanding of inequalities in nonmonogamy by categorizing inequalities in traditional polygamy into different kinds. I argue that these inequalities are generally unjust. Although these inequalities are common in traditional polygamy, the objection that polygamy—as a type of marriage—is inherently unequal and unjust is not a convincing argument. By contrast, not all kinds of equality—such as equal love or equal number of partners—are morally significant. I conclude this paper by providing some groundwork for future research on egalitarian nonmonogamy.

With the Black immigrant population in the United States rapidly increasing, there is a pressing need to understand their unique challenges. We examine the mental health issues of Black immigrant families in the US through the lens of intersectionality. We explore how overlapping identities, race, immigration status, and socioeconomic conditions impact mental health outcomes. Despite their growing numbers, Black immigrants remain underrepresented in mental health research, facing barriers such as language, cultural stigma, and limited access to services. Specific findings reveal how structural racism and migration stress compound to worsen mental health outcomes. This review highlights the importance of targeted, culturally sensitive interventions and comprehensive healthcare practices by analyzing these factors. We advocate for an intersectional approach to address systemic barriers and improve mental health outcomes for Black immigrant families, emphasizing the urgent need for expanded research to promote social justice and equity.

Campus–community partnerships are essential to the field of family science. Like many other academic units in the applied social sciences, family science departments connect with communities to train students and engage in outreach, fulfilling the mission of many institutions, particularly land‐grant universities. Establishing, nurturing, maintaining, monitoring, and improving these partnerships benefits academia, the scholarly institution in question, and the organizations and individuals in their host communities. This paper focuses on the application of a family science‐derived theoretical model to illuminate connections between institutions of higher education and the communities in which they are situated, for better or for worse. Using case studies and real‐life examples, we adapt the three corners theory of relationships to campus and community partnerships, illuminating how external interests and investment in the partnership can affect the productivity of joint initiatives.
