Multi-Methods, More Spaces? Interviews the family, education, work, leisure, relationships and identity, religion, and the imagined future. Diaries Mind-maps

Diaries Andrea, 24, Newcastle

Diaries Rebecca, 22, Newcastle

Mapping Exercise Tom, 20, Manchester

Participants 38 participants (Newcastle, Manchester, London) 17-34 years old (mean age 24) 19 participants identified as female, male (15), gender-queer (2), gender-queer and transgender (1), and transsexual female-to-male (1). 15 participants identified as gay, lesbian (13), bisexual (5), queer (4), and asexual (1).

‘[am I] what you are looking for?’ Definitions ‘[am I] what you are looking for?’ (Rebecca, 22, Newcastle) Out! Northeast magazine, issue 32, Autumn 2012

Anonymity ‘…many participants who give time/information would like to be acknowledged rather than anonymised...’ (Norman, 29, Manchester)

Gatekeepers ‘I can’t think of anyone in my congregations who is in that age group and would identify as LGBT’. (Anglican priest, Manchester) ‘Although some of the young people I was latterly involved with were Christians none of my current ones are so I am unable to help at the moment’. (LGBT Youth Group Leader, Newcastle)

Snowballing ‘As you might expect, I know virtually no other LGBT religious youth, but if I can think of anyone who might be able to participate I'll forward the information to them’. (James, 17, Newcastle)

The ‘virtual’ field http://queerreligiousyouth.wordpress.com/ Facebook (closed) group ‘Queer Religious Youth’

‘Embodied’ positions ‘our bodies are never silent or invisible to the interactions that we are involved in’ V. Kannen (2012) ‘Pregnant, privileged and PhDing: Exploring embodiments in qualitative research’, in Journal of Gender Studies, p. 12 R. Snowdon (2012) ‘Making space for the straight talking/acting interviewer?’ Weeks Centre Blog, http://weekscentreforsocialandpolicyresearch.wordpress.com/2012/09/09/making-space-for-the-straight-talkingacting-interviewer/
