Yes, I will be happy to overlook your proposal. I recently completed my undergraduate degree, my dissertation (Thesis) on lesbian sexualities during the 19th century.
Feel free to have a look at my profile for any references or guidance.
I'm up for reviewing your research proposal as well.
From your description, the one comment I have is that it isn't just in the Middle East that LGBQ people may marry someone to preserve family honor/name. I think you'll find that in many other cultures.
When you mention the impact that the legality or illegality of marriage equality and the relationship to mental health, it makes me think of the research that came out after marriage equality passed in some states in the U.S. and the positive impact on LGBTQ youth mental health.
It is important to be aware of the research on China where you have a long-term Confucianist family mentality based on filial piety and obedience to the patriarch, from the father to the emperor. If you can access the following books, they will be helpful for the core of your research on LGB and family networks:
- HO, Loretta Wing Wah. Gay and Lesbian Subculture in Urban China. London: Routledge, 2009.
- SANG, Tze-Ian Deborah & WANG, Qingfeng. The emerging lesbian: female same-sex desire in modern China. Taipei: Taiwan Resource Center for Chinese Studies, 2014.
