Little is known about how lesbians and gay men perceive the turning points that define their life trajectories. This study uses qualitative interview data to understand which experiences lesbian women and gay men age 50 and older identify as turning points and explore gender differences. In depth, face-to-face qualitative interviews were conducted with a subset of participants (n=33) from the Caring and Aging with Pride survey. The most common turning points identified were relationship and occupation related. Lesbians more frequently identified the break-up of a relationship and occupational and educational related experiences as turning points. Gay men more commonly indicated that the beginning of a relationship and HIV/AIDS related experiences were turning points. The turning points were analyzed according to principles of the life course theory and narrative analysis.
女同性恋者和男同性恋者如何看待那些定义他们人生轨迹的转折点，目前所知甚少。本研究运用定性访谈数据，以了解50岁及以上的女同性恋者和男同性恋者将哪些经历视为转折点，并探讨性别差异。我们对“骄傲关怀与衰老”调查中的一部分参与者（n = 33）进行了深入的面对面定性访谈。确定的最常见转折点与人际关系和职业相关。女同性恋者更频繁地将关系破裂以及与职业和教育相关的经历视为转折点。男同性恋者更普遍地表示，关系的开始以及与艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关的经历是转折点。根据生命历程理论和叙事分析的原则对这些转折点进行了分析。
