dc.description.abstract | Familial acceptance is a significant protective factor for LGBTQ+ youth. Affirming support networks can buffer against suicidality, anxiety, and depression, which are prevalent among this demographic. Literature suggests that tapping into families' strengths and values is a vital component of promoting understanding and acceptance of diverse gender identities and sexualities. Although religion is an integral organizing principle in the lives of many families, religion and LGBTQ+ identity are often framed as fundamentally incompatible. Particularly little attention has been paid to how minoritized ethnoreligious values may lend themselves to faith-based familial acceptance interventions. This thesis posits that the Jewish tradition of rigorous questioning and theological debate is compatible with an openness to malleable notions of gender and sexuality. Through a survey of Jewish parents, this project characterizes status quo parent utilization of Jewish sources of social and parenting support and current degree of accepting attitudes and behaviors. The present study evaluates Jewish parents’ degree of endorsement of LGBTQ+-affirming religious texts. Recommendations for a culturally specific paradigm for promoting parental acceptance using LGBTQ+-affirming Jewish texts are discussed. | en_US |
