Survey data collected from 400 non-metropolitan gay men and lesbians were used to examine what factors lead them to attend a family-of-origin ritual and affect their sense of belonging during the event. The present study was inspired by qualitative findings regarding the production of outsider status during rituals. Attendance and belonging were both predicted by type of ritual and the quality of relationships with families of origin. Also, partners were more likely to be invited when the couple relationship was more visible. Residential community climate, age, income, and gender were not significant. The family membership complexities of gay and lesbian people are discussed, and a more nuanced understanding of membership during ritual is encouraged.
从400名非大都市地区的男同性恋者和女同性恋者收集的调查数据，被用于研究哪些因素促使他们参加原生家庭仪式，以及在仪式期间影响他们归属感的因素。本研究受到关于仪式期间局外人身份产生的定性研究结果的启发。仪式类型以及与原生家庭关系的质量，都能预测出席情况和归属感。此外，当伴侣关系更明显时，伴侣更有可能被邀请。居住社区氛围、年龄、收入和性别并无显著影响。文中讨论了同性恋者和女同性恋者的家庭成员复杂性，并鼓励对仪式期间的成员身份有更细致入微的理解。
