INTRODUCTION
This review is written for researchers who are concerned to acknowledge that LGBT people are now a taken-for-granted constituent of contemporary social and political landscapes and for those who are uncertain about how to begin to address issues of sexual diversity in their work. Specifically, it provides an overview and review of methodological approaches and perspectives in adult social care research that have explored the worlds of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people who use and/or provide social care services. It also reviews the work, albeit limited in quantity, which has included LGBT specific perspectives in research that has a more extensive remit than adult social care. It should be stressed, of course, that most social care research will already include contributions from LGBT people, but their specific contributions are often rendered invisible, as there is no attempt to distinguish this group’s experiences from those of heterosexual people. The principal aim of this review, therefore, is to allow social scientists, from a range of backgrounds, to consider LGBT issues in research that may or may not be focused on sexuality.
The review draws on empirical research, undertaken using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Searches have been carried out in of a variety of academic databases, libraries and on the internet. The scope of the review is international (though exclusively English speaking) and, whilst necessarily addressing a variety of disciplines and sectors, concentrates, in particular, on research in adult social care.
It first explores some of the problems associated with sexual categories and how these may be addressed in research that aims to be inclusive without running the risk of tokenism. In so doing, the review outlines some of the challenges associated with an uncritical use of sexual categories in social care research. It addresses the issue of ‘insider perspectives’ and provides an overview of the historical context of rese
