Family conflict has traditionally been studied by researchers who are at a safe intellectual distance from the families under their study. In Skeletons in the Closet, and in line with feminist research methodologies, the hierarchical distance between researcher and subject is broken down.

A Gay Actor with Multiple Scripts: Impression Management Strategies to Comply with Traditional Chinese Family Norms

Kin Ho Wong (Ryerson University)

A Gay Actor With Multiple Scripts (K.H. Wong). The narrative is about a young, Chinese immigrant (the author) who struggles with his sexual identity. His traditional family does not make the discovery and eventual acceptance of his sexual orientation easy. The author suffers verbal, emotional and even physical abuse in his long journey to eventually accept who he is.
