Using the Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA), this qualitative research focuses on news articles published in 2023, drawing from three mainstream Malaysian newspapers: The Star Online, Harian Metro and China Press (). The findings show that nomination strategies categorize LGBT individuals through broad labels such as \"LGBT\" or specific terms like \"gay\" or \"transgender.\" Predication strategies reinforce negative associations, often depicting LGBT individuals as morally or culturally deviant. Argumentation strategies reveal that conservative perspectives dominate, particularly those based on religious and cultural arguments, while economic, legal and human rights perspectives are present but are often secondary to traditional views. Perspectivization strategies highlight the use of authoritative voices, such as religious leaders and politicians, to legitimize dominant narratives. Intensification strategies, such as active verbs and augmentatives, highlight perceived risks linked to LGBT issues, while mitigation strategies, including modal verbs, allow newspapers to address these topics without taking a firm stance. Malaysian newspapers construct a layered portrayal of the LGBT community, framing them as distinct and as challenging norms while aligning narratives with cultural sensitivities, thereby reinforcing an \"us\" versus \"them\" dynamic.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144692062","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}

We analyzed data from 11,763 UK-based MSM in the European MSM Internet Survey. ANOVAs were run to explore differences in mental health across breakup recency (< 6 months, 6-12 months, 1-5 years, and >5 years ago). Logistic regressions (adjusting for age and HIV status) were used to compare partnered MSM on mental health and safer sex with MSM who had broken up in the last 6 months. ANOVAs revealed significant downward trends for anxiety/depression (F(1) = 11.384, G = -0.061, p < 0.001) and alcohol dependence (F(1) = 10.679, G = -0.084, p < 0.001), decreasing as time passed since the breakup. Sexual unhappiness followed a reverse pattern (F(1) = 82.15, G = 0.137, p < 0.001). Logistic regressions showed that compared to partnered MSM, those who broke up within the past 6 months reported significantly higher levels of anxiety/depression (aOR = 1.55, p < 0.001), suicidal ideation (aOR = 1.63, p < 0.001), alcohol dependence (aOR = 1.21, p < 0.001), and sexual unhappiness (aOR = 1.66, p < 0.001).

Sixteen films were analyzed to identify recurring themes and the broader psychosocial narratives embedded in these portrayals. Critical themes include childhood neglect, societal rejection, challenges in adhering to heteronormative roles, the myth of changing sexual orientation through heterosexual relationships, and the stigmatization faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals. While early films often downplayed or dismissed homosexuality, more recent narratives reflect growing acceptance and nuanced understandings of gender and sexual diversity. Through this analysis, the review sheds light on the evolution of LGBTQIA+ representation in Mollywood and its potential to influence societal attitudes toward sexual minorities. This review serves as a foundation for future discourse on the role of cinema in fostering inclusivity and acceptance for LGBTQIA+ communities in Indian society. This review also tried to make movies as a tool for educating and sensitizing the masses, thus spreading awareness about the LGBTQIA+ Communities and their inclusivity.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-29"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144700123","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}

Engaged in sex work for survival, these women navigate high-risk environments where they endure harassment, assault, and marginalization. This paper explores a self-defense training provided to 10 trans-Syrian refugee women in sex work, examining how they conceptualize self-defense-not only as a physical skill but as a tool for negotiating power in abusive partnerships, safeguarding themselves from violent clients and law enforcement, and mitigating everyday risks. Employing an intersectional framework, it explores how gender identity and refugee status amplify exposure to violence, while queer necropolitics examines how state and societal forces render trans refugees as \"disposable\" subjects outside legal and humanitarian protections. Additionally, critical refugee studies highlights forced displacement as a site of vulnerability and resistance, where trans-refugee sex workers actively subvert their erasure through embodied self-defense. Participants' narratives demonstrate that self-defense goes beyond physical protection-it is a strategy to resist violence in sex work, manage abusive intimate relationships, and confront structural conditions of exploitation. This study challenges the victimization of trans refugees, highlighting their agency and the need for policies that address their intersectional realities.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-22"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144692061","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}

To do so, it synthesizes critical discourse analysis and queer linguistic approaches about Israeli queer youth narratives, exploring their embodied experiences within these institutions and how they are both included and yet excluded as citizens. It uses two theoretical frameworks-sexual strangers and pedagogy of nation-to highlight connections between identity practices, citizenship, and the experiences of queer youth within these institutions. The article contextualizes their experiences against the evolution of the IDF and MinEd's policies and practices toward queerness to demonstrate how queer youth are both included and yet simultaneously excluded within these institutions. The article contributes to the limited literature on youth linguistic and discursive constructions of sexual citizenship by analyzing narratives from queer Israeli youth regarding their experiences in education and military service.

Two cases will be examined in detail. One is related to the court case of a Catholic priest caught performing homosexual acts, whose testimonies were intended to be used by the secret services to compromise other members of the clergy. The other case is special because it is connected to female homosexuality, which was rarely thematized in this period. Its main characters are a former Dominican nun and a group of young religious women organized by her. The Secret Police tried to dissolve the group by sending anonymous letters to the parents of the young women, accusing the leader of the group of homosexuality. By foregrounding institutionalized homophobia as a strategic tool of governance under Hungarian state socialism, the presented cases demonstrate how sexual deviance was deliberately weaponized to achieve broader political objectives, including the suppression of autonomous religious communities and the manipulation of church-state relations.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144700120","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}

Notably, homelessness resources represent challenging environments where, in addition to risks of discrimination, 2SLGBTQ+ adults often do not have support that reflects their unique needs to exit homelessness. The case of Montreal, Canada, is particularly concerning as no resource specifically supports this group. This research set out with the following questions: 1. How are homelessness organizations in Montreal currently responding to the needs of 2SLGBTQ+ community members? 2. How do workers in housing and homelessness organizations imagine shifts to better support the 2SLGBTQ+ community? 3. What policies, practices, and training would support these shifts? Correspondingly, we facilitated three focus groups with a total of 15 individuals currently working in one Montreal homelessness resource. Findings revealed the following themes and recommendations: unique experiences and corresponding needs of 2SLGBTQ+ adults; homelessness resources and supports for 2SLGBTQ+ people in Montreal; staff hold competing views on the effectiveness of segregated or integrated supports for 2SLGBTQ+ people; and that information and training for staff requires greater attention. Overarchingly, findings suggest the need to develop stronger programming and more robust training supported by clear and actionable policies in homelessness services.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144692063","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}

Drawing on frameworks of sexual, cultural, and performative citizenship, the study examines how these vlogs negotiate relational recognition, legal marginality, and mediated visibility within a tightly censored digital ecology. Combining digital ethnography and reflexive thematic analysis, the article demonstrates that fufu vlogs simultaneously reproduce and resist heteronormative ideals, offering emotionally legible yet normatively constrained depictions of gay life. While these performances often align with conservative scripts of monogamy, domesticity, and filial piety, they also tactically inhabit legal loopholes-such as the Assigned Guardianship System and hukou affiliation-to enact forms of symbolic and relational legitimacy. Crucially, viewer interactions through danmu and comment threads constitute informal pedagogical spaces, circulating information and cultivating civic awareness. The article conceptualizes these mediated practices as performing Chinese authoritarian (homo)sexual citizenship-a mode of gay belonging negotiated through ambivalent performances of public visibility, normative proximity, and strategic intimacy.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-26"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144643895","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}

California and \"harmful to minors\" standards outlined in Ginsberg v. New York. These legislative efforts are intentionally vague and aim to restrict the freedom of speech and expression of a historically marginalized group. This paper first explores the historical evolution of drag as an art form, tracing its roots in underground LGBTQ+ spaces during eras of discrimination and stigma and documents its transformation into a mainstream cultural phenomenon. It then reviews the definitions of drag provided in these proposed legislative efforts, how they frame such performances within the language of obscenity and harmful-to-minors standards, and the types of penalties imposed. Finally, using the concepts of the chilling effect and the minority stress framework-a psychological theory addressing the unique stressors experienced by the LGBTQ+ community and their impact on mental and physical health-this paper discusses the potential consequences these legislative efforts could have on the mental health of drag performers if enacted.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144638386","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}
