| Join Rockway Institute
in the fight against the
distortion of science by
anti-LGBT groups! Your support will allow Rockway to continue to fight the misuse of science by right-wing groups in the public discussion of LGBT issues. Funds are needed to continue the Scientific Accuracy in the News project that increases awareness of accurate research about same-sex marriage and parenting, so-called ex-gay therapies, transgender issues and treatment of young
people questioning their sexual orientation. Funds are also needed to support new research that fills in the gaps in existing knowledge about gay male parenting, the psychological impact of marriage exclusion, and the resilience of LGBT youth. Rockway also seeks funding for a study of a new LGBT curriculum in the Los Angeles Unified School District.

Mission Statement The nonpartisan Rockway Institute brings together scientific research and professional expertise to counter antigay prejudice and inform public policies affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people.The Institute's view is that public opinion, policies, and programs should be shaped by the facts about LGBT lives, not by political ideology.
A primary goal is to organize the most knowledgeable social scientists, mental health professionals, and physicians in the United States to provide accurate information about LGBT issues to the media, legislatures, and courts. The Institute also conducts targeted research projects to address the nation's most pressing LGBT public policy questions.
Focus of the Institute's Activities
To carry out these programs, the Institute draws on the expertise of its 19-member National Advisory Board, 13 core faculty members at Alliant International University (the largest nonprofit training institution for professional psychologists in the U.S.), and a large group of professionals located throughout the country. We deploy these experts to provide accurate information to the media, legislatures, and the courts. More generally, the Institute serves as a resource for other organizations that need experts and research information about LGBT issues in their public education and advocacy activities.
