While pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is highly effective at preventing HIV acquisition, uptake of PrEP among gbMSM is low, which may in part be due to stigma associated with PrEP use. This systematic review aimed to explore experiences of PrEP stigma and to identify factors associated with this. Four databases were searched for papers including terms relating to (i) gbMSM, (ii) PrEP, and (iii) stigma, with narrative synthesis used to analyze results. After screening, 70 studies were included in the final analysis. Experiences of PrEP stigma were found to be characterized by a number of stereotypes and came from a range of sources. Five categories of factors were associated with stigma: (i) healthcare-related factors, (ii) cultural and contextual factors, (iii) sociodemographic factors, (iv) peer-discussion, and (v) psychosocial factors. These findings suggest that stigma can be a common experience for gbMSM. However, some are more at risk than others. Interventions aimed at reducing PrEP stigma may be useful in increasing uptake.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"623-652"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140177233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A community sample of 307 Thai sexual minorities completed measures assessing SO microaggressions, microaffirmations, internalized heterosexism, SO concealment, and mental health concerns. Serial mediation analysis using Hayes' PROCESS macro model 6 tested indirect effects through proposed mediators. Conditional process analysis using PROCESS model 85 examined the moderating role of microaffirmations. These models tested hypothesized moderated serial mediation relationships among study variables. SO microaggressions had a total effect on mental health concerns, directly and indirectly through increased SO concealment. The internalized heterosexism → SO concealment sequence mediated this relationship. Microaffirmations moderated the direct microaggressions-mental health link, reducing this association at higher levels of microaffirmations. The full model accounted for 31.6% of the variance (R2 = 0.316) in mental health concerns. The Johnson-Neyman technique identified 0.613 as the microaffirmations value above which the effect of SO microaggressions on mental health was no longer significant. Findings elucidate mechanisms linking SO microaggressions to mental health issues and microaffirmations' protective role among Thai sexual minorities.

Unfortunately, these same platforms are often engulfed with homophobia and transphobic rhetoric and high rates of online violence targeted at 2SLGBTQ+ communities. To shed light on how digital platforms can help and/or hinder 2SLGBTQ+ people's mental health, we conducted a mixed-methods survey to examine mental health outcomes among 2SLGBTQ+ people in Nova Scotia, Canada, who have used digital platforms during and since the COVID-19 pandemic. The Health Equity Promotion Model was applied to analyze survey data collected from 119 participants and uncover how intersecting individual, structural, and technological factors and affordances impact 2SLGBTQ+ people's mental health. Our findings reflect the diversity and fluidity of 2SLGBTQ+ people's mental health experiences that cannot be viewed through a positivistic lens. We discuss the ethical implications of digital platforms and their mental health effects on marginalized populations and the importance of conducting intersectional research, and we conclude with recommendations to support 2SLGBTQ+ people's mental health.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-28"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143574369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can be a sanctuary, nurturing comfort with identities and aiding in coming out. However, it can also be a place of hostility, reinforcing LGBTQ+ prejudice. Similarly, home preserves family traditions and sustains Jewish identity and practice, but by performing rituals and ceremonies at home, it can also reflect antisemitic attitudes and expressions present in the broader society. This study demonstrates this queer-Jewish juxtapose by presenting a textual analysis of four queer Jewish blessings dedicated to marking and establishing the LGBTQ+ Jewish home. Each of these variations on traditional blessings is characterized by intertextuality with Jewish sources and the appropriation of queer language, symbols, representations, and narratives. The texts present the Reform Jewish liturgy as an agency in the effort to establish the home-both temporary and permanent-as a safe and protected space for LGBTQ+ individuals, with faith and tradition playing a key role in realizing this vision. However, the blessings also reveal heteronormative trends that undermine the radical nature of queerness, such as the sanctification of the institution of marriage. Thus, it appears that the liturgical field may not only be discovered as a harmonious solution in the contemporary encounter between Judaism and queerness but also as a space for the reproduction and preservation of traditional hegemonic structures and perceptions.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-25"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143558441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since English study is important in Taiwan, this project responded by employing hidden curriculum theory to address the possible role of English language teaching (ELT) materials authored and used in Taiwan in reproducing or disrupting the marginalization of LGBT people. This study operationalized the target hidden curriculum as instantiations of norms implicit within sexuality representations such as depictions of dating behaviors and family structures. The resulting critical content analysis provided evidence that LGBT people were almost entirely invisible and were discursively othered when present, thus providing evidence that ELT materials from Taiwan represent a heteronormative hidden curriculum. These results illustrate the importance of attention to the hidden curriculum in designing educational materials, as a part of materials adoption decisions, and as a dimension of teacher training. Explicit policy and what was actually being taught via the hidden curriculum being at odds in this case bolsters the argument for such actions.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-25"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143544270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to look specifically at perceptions of reclaimed hate speech, as well as the purposes and consequences of its use by representatives of the LGBT+ community. Partially structured interviews (N = 12 LGBT+ people) were conducted using an insider's perspective in the context of a homophobic society. Thematic analysis of responses showed that reclaimed hate speech is, according to LGBT+ people, a reaction to traditional hate speech, while being their own language related to the exclusiveness of the minority experience. When used by entitled persons, it is not perceived as offensive, but is nevertheless shocking and brings up fears about the normalization of traditional hate speech. This means that reclaimed hate speech, contrary to what has been presented in the existing literature, is not an unambiguously positive phenomenon. Overall, our study can contribute to redefining and improving the emancipation strategies of minority groups.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143544269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though religiosity has traditionally been associated with resistance to LGBTQ inclusion, in recent years the inclusion and acceptance of LGBTQ individuals has become common among some religious congregations and clergy, especially those in the more liberal denominations. This paper extends past research by: (1) using a nationally representative study of congregations to examine the trends in inclusion of individuals in same-sex relationships in congregational life and congregational activities concerning LGBTQ issues and rights, and (2) using a nationally representative study of clergy to document the views of congregational leaders concerning individuals in same-sex relationships and clergy political activity regarding LGBTQ issues. I find that congregational inclusion of individuals in same-sex relationships increased between 2006-07 and 2018-19, and a significant minority of congregations and clergy participated in meetings or political action concerning LGBTQ issues, though there were substantial variations by religious tradition. As the proportion of individuals in the United States identifying as LGBTQ increases, and as public opinion concerning LGBTQ issues continues to liberalize, understanding LGBTQ inclusion and activities concerning LGBTQ rights among congregations and clergy remains important.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143494267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
