Abstract

This study aimed to explore the experiences, needs, and interests of queer people who are also neurodivergent, or live with a chronic illness or disability (i.e. IMMI: individuals with multi-minority identities) in Italy and the Netherlands. Five focus groups were conducted in Italy with 22 queer IMMI to identify their most relevant topics regarding and experiences with sex education. Building on the discussion topics of the focus groups, a survey in Italian and English was distributed via snowball sampling. The survey was created to explore the experiences related to sex education in the two countries. The final sample of respondents included 138 (97 Italian, 41 Dutch) queer IMMI. Results indicated that sex education received in both formal (e.g. school) and informal (e.g. family) contexts failed to include information that was sensitive and supportive of queer community's experiences. Participants reported the need to explore more topics addressing the specific needs of different identity intersections. Cross-cultural differences related to the experiences of Italian and Dutch participants were found. Overall, current sex education in Italy and the Netherlands is far from meeting the sexual health needs of queer people living with different intersections. Practical implications are discussed.

从性教育到性教育：从性教育到性教育：探索意大利和荷兰同性恋社区的交叉性》。

本研究旨在探讨意大利和荷兰的神经变异、患有慢性疾病或残疾的同性恋者（即 IMMI：具有多重少数群体身份的人）的经历、需求和兴趣。在意大利与 22 名同性恋 IMMI 进行了五次焦点小组讨论，以确定他们在性教育方面最相关的话题和经验。在焦点小组讨论主题的基础上，通过滚雪球式抽样，分发了一份意大利语和英语调查问卷。该调查旨在探究两国在性教育方面的经验。最终的受访者样本包括 138 名（97 名意大利人，41 名荷兰人）同性恋 IMMI。结果表明，在正规（如学校）和非正规（如家庭）环境中接受的性教育，都没有包含对同性恋群体的经历具有敏感性和支持性的信息。与会者表示，有必要探讨更多的话题，以满足不同身份交叉群体的具体需求。研究发现，意大利和荷兰参与者的经历存在跨文化差异。总体而言，意大利和荷兰目前的性教育远远不能满足不同身份交叉的同性恋者的性健康需求。本文还讨论了实际意义。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Homosexuality is an internationally acclaimed, peer-reviewed publication devoted to publishing a wide variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship to foster a thorough understanding of the complexities, nuances, and the multifaceted aspects of sexuality and gender. The chief aim of the journal is to publish thought-provoking scholarship by researchers, community activists, and scholars who employ a range of research methodologies and who offer a variety of perspectives to continue shaping knowledge production in the arenas of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) studies and queer studies. The Journal of Homosexuality is committed to offering substantive, accessible reading to researchers and general readers alike in the hope of: spurring additional research, offering ideas to integrate into educational programs at schools, colleges & universities, or community-based organizations, and manifesting activism against sexual and gender prejudice (e.g., homophobia, biphobia and transphobia), including the promotion of sexual and gender justice.
