Gendered accounts of managing diabetes in same-sex relationships: A discursive analysis of partner support.
Health (London) 2018 March
The gendered dimensions of partner support in relationships where one partner has a chronic condition has been a recurring focus within the literature on gender and health. Such literature however typically focuses exclusively on heterosexual couples while same-sex relationships are rendered invisible, leading to the discourse around partner support being heteronormative. This article examines gendered dimensions within accounts of lesbian, gay and bisexual people with diabetes using a discursive psychological approach. The analysis identifies how participants drew upon a range of interpretative repertoires, including: (1) notions that women are more caring than men; (2) that men can take control in an emergency; (3) that gay men are caring; (4) that grown men can take care of themselves; and (5) that gay men are more independent than heterosexual men. It is argued that rather than simply dismissing heteronormative repertoires of gender and health, non-heterosexuals draw upon them in ways that display ideological tensions.
