“…(Cosis-Brown, 1992, p.216) We are now in a position where legislation in the UK, in relation to the protection of some areas of lesbians and gay men's lives, may be more liberal and permissive than 'public opinion' (Cosis-Brown and Kershaw, forthcoming). The insidious nature of the 'corruption' or 'contamination' theory of homosexuality is still held by some and is particularly infl ammatory for those working in the child care fi eld and with the young people with whom they work (Logan, 2001). This paper traces the ideological and legal past that provides the backdrop for the most recent developments in lesbian and gay fostering and adoption.…”

“…Gay men (and lesbian women) are described as caught between two opposing mandates of anti-discriminatory practice on the one hand and discrimination on the other (Logan, 2001). In other words, sexist and homophobic attitudes and practices exist side-by-side with a discourse of anti-discriminatory practice in social work, leading to high levels of isolation and concealment by gay and lesbian social workers.…”
