parenting discussion led to a number of examples on the part of the participants. Many
participants felt there were few differences between their family and the heterosexual
families they knew, and that the interactions they had with their children’s teachers,

within the context of research and/or are shared in everyday life. (Allen, 2017). This type
of analysis will be used because this type of method is commonly used in qualitative
