Abstract

Abstract Many Muslim men with same-sex sexualities experience tensions between their sexual/religious identities. However, few inquiries address how bisexual Muslim men grow and develop amidst socioreligious persecution. Therefore, the present study utilized a mixed-methods design and the Transformative Intersectional Psychology (TIP) framework to explore the spiritual resistance of 35 bisexual, Indonesian Muslim men. Participants completed online religious attitudes and experiences measures as well as open-ended questions regarding their religious/spiritual lives. Although 70% of participants reported that they felt unsupported by the Muslim community in the past year, 49% of participants described Islam in positive terms. Moreover, participants’ largely constructed their religious and spiritual experiences outside of LGBT + Muslim affirming organizations due to the pervasive LGBTQ + hostility in Indonesia. The present study helps build a stronger theoretical foundation for understanding both the positive and negative aspects of religiosity and spirituality in bisexual Muslims’ lives from a transformative and intersectional perspective.
印尼双性恋男性对伊斯兰、古兰经和安拉的体验:精神抵抗的混合方法分析
许多具有同性性行为的穆斯林男性经历了性/宗教身份之间的紧张关系。然而,很少有调查涉及双性恋穆斯林男性如何在社会宗教迫害中成长和发展。因此,本研究采用混合方法设计和转化交叉心理学(TIP)框架来探讨35名印度尼西亚双性恋穆斯林男性的精神抵抗。参与者完成了在线宗教态度和体验测试,以及关于他们宗教/精神生活的开放式问题。尽管70%的参与者报告说他们在过去的一年中没有得到穆斯林社区的支持,但49%的参与者对伊斯兰教持积极态度。此外,由于印度尼西亚普遍存在对LGBTQ +的敌意,参与者在很大程度上在LGBT +穆斯林肯定组织之外构建了他们的宗教和精神体验。本研究有助于建立一个更强大的理论基础,从变革和交叉的角度来理解双性恋穆斯林生活中宗教信仰和灵性的积极和消极方面。
