Default Ethnography project on Gay Parenting

So I am doing an ethnography project on gay parenting (i.e. being raised by gay parents) and I was wondering if anyone could some suggest some good sources or information that I should check out for my project.

I've already found a decent amount of academic sources (e.g. peer reviewed journals and studies) but I need a some non-academic sources that give an idea of the general public's/media's view on the issue.

Thanks

That sounds really interesting man! I think ethnography is a great research method to use as well... Is this for a dissertation? I wish I could give you some specific sources to use but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

I guess there's the obvious way; doing key word searches on newspaper and media websites. But you might be able to find a 'press digest' website for your chosen country and that will mean a key word search should go through all the major newspapers in that country... for example if you type into google 'digest of Russian press' there's a website called eastview, which essentially catalogues everything from the Russian press and allows you to do a key word search through the whole thing. I don't know for sure, but I would have thought that other countries would have the same thing, and if they do it'll make your press review/search much quicker.

Hope that makes sense and helps a bit! Feel free to ask me any questions!

This isn't a dissertation, but a project for my Anthropology course,. Thanks for the suggestion.
