dc.description.abstractIn Canada, the right to marry someone of the same sex has been available to sexual minorities since 2005. However, while the right is available on paper, little is known about how entry into this institution is socially negotiated by those who choose to marry. This qualitative study explored the process of entering and being in a same-sex marriage through 11 one-on-one interviews with gay men who had been legally same-sex married for at least six months and were currently living in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The final product is an exploration of same-sex marriage entry that focuses on social support, recognition, and service access perceived by these men. Practice implications are discussed to prepare professionals to support the unique psychosocial context faced by these men. In addition, this social justice inspired work aims to increase awareness that legal rights do not guarantee universal social acceptance.en_US
