The choice of surgeon and sexologist Kenneth Walker to chair the society reflected his standing in medical and intellectual circles as someone working toward a \"stable and liberal society.\" In the preceding 30 years, Walker had counseled and \"treated\" many homosexual men seeking help and written and broadcasted on the matter for his profession and the laity. The content of this work reflected evolving scientific views as to the etiology and, therefore, potential treatment of homosexuality, which became less important as the permanence of a section of society that would seek same sex relationships became accepted, and attention instead shifted toward their assimilation. Walker was consistent in condemning the illegality of male homosexual acts and, whilst he died a year before the law was amended, was conscious that, as a result of his efforts and those of others, change was imminent.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145245709","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 findings show that transgender individuals are predominantly depicted as moral deviants, political threats, and religious transgressors, with their exclusion rationalized through dehumanization, religious condemnation, and securitized language. Key linguistic strategies encompass disease metaphors, Quranic narratives of devastation, and nationalist rhetoric depicting gender nonconformity as a Western intellectual incursion. Although counter-discourses promoting rights and medicalization exist, they remain systemically suppressed. The study illustrates how language functions as a social control tool, legitimizing exclusion and violence. This research elucidates discursive patterns, thus contributing to the discourse on digital moral policing, ideological naturalization, and the language reinforcement of gender hierarchies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-31"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145233781","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}

Data were collected at baseline and one-month follow-up from 36 LGBTQ+ students (intervention n = 22, control n = 14). Univariate ANCOVAs were run to investigate the impact of the intervention on critical consciousness, bystander willingness to intervene, and rape myth acceptance. Significant group differences were identified for bystander willingness categories of consciousness raising and sexual assault bystander behavior. Additional significant group differences were not identified. However, due to the small sample size, effect sizes were examined. Effects sizes ranged from large (η2 = .173, consciousness raising) to minimal (η2 = .001, sexual harassment bystander behavior). Results provide initial support for the utility of the adapted version of Define it! with LGBTQ+ communities, particularly in the areas of consciousness raising and sexual assault bystander behavior.

The results indicated that sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) influenced the suicidal processes in different ways. For some participants, SOGI was a central factor, with significant issues such as lack of acceptance and obstacles to gender-affirming care being prominent. For others, suicidality was primarily linked to non-SOGI factors such as unsafe family environments or sexualized violence, with SOGI-related issues intensifying these situations. Additionally, a mixed type was identified where both SOGI and non-SOGI factors were both equally influential.

Nevertheless, its meaning remains fluid and deeply contested. Our study conducts a corpus-based case study that applies critical discourse analysis, queer theory and natural language processing (NLP) software to examine the historical and contemporary usage of queer in three different corpora (the English Historical Book Collection corpus; the British National Corpus (2014), and the English Broadsheet Newspaper (SiBol) corpus). The main objective is to explore the extent to which queer has undergone semantic shifts, particularly in relation to its reappropriation and evolving sociopolitical meanings. Our results reveal that that queer tends to retain pejorative associations when used as a noun. Although this study provides key insights into queer linguistics, its findings are limited by the availability of corpus data. Future research should incorporate larger and more diverse datasets, to capture the full complexity of the term queer across global contexts. Ultimately, our research contributes to the ongoing discussion on language, identity, and power by demonstrating how queer continues to evolve as a site of contestation and resistance.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145139187","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}

This qualitative study explored how a sample of five Latino and South-east Asian gay men living in Australia navigated the disclosure of their open relationships. Using thematic analysis of verbatim transcripts, four superordinate themes were identified: concern with others' judgment, self-stigma, open relationship concealment, and social support. Open relationships were revealed to limited audiences, while intimate support for a decision believed outside normative and socially acceptable boundaries was still sought. Disclosure decisions were associated with distal stressors (others' judgments) and proximal stressors (self-stigma), influenced by religious and cultural considerations and the dominance of mononormativity in shaping relational expectations. Findings support the continued utility of minority stress theory and may raise awareness about alternative relationship structures, challenge misconceptions related to them and encourage cultural literacy and cultural competence in clinical psychologists.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145126266","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}

Participants described IPV as multifaceted, encompassing coercive control, psychological, physical, sexual, and financial abuse, often normalized or overlooked due to societal stigmas and heteronormative frameworks. A three-level framework emerged from the analysis, identifying barriers and facilitators in IPV recognition, help-seeking, and systemic service responses. Key findings revealed the invisibility of GBM IPV within dominant social and service narratives, fears of judgment or misrecognition during help-seeking, and a lack of tailored, culturally safe support. Facilitators of disclosure included GBM affirming environments, empathetic professionals, and accessible pathways, particularly in sexual health clinics. The study underscores the urgent need for services to adopt inclusive practices, improve professional training, and integrate GBM-specific support frameworks.

Empirical evidence demonstrates their ineffectiveness and enduring psychological harm. This article advances the field by shifting the analytical focus from condemnation to recovery, highlighting an underexplored dimension in Brazilian literature: survivor-centered healing. Through a critical narrative review, the study examines the historical foundations and psychosocial impacts of SOGIECE, articulating recovery strategies forged by survivors in response to trauma. It proposes an integrative, intersectional approach encompassing psychological care, spiritual reconciliation, and community-based support systems. The analysis underscores the relevance of trauma-informed mental health services that affirm sexual and gender diversity. Furthermore, it calls for structural responses, including the legal prohibition of SOGIECE and implementation of inclusive public policies to prevent perpetuation. By bridging international ethical frameworks with Brazil's specific sociocultural and regulatory context, this study contributes to the advancement of survivor-informed practices and reinforces the need for systemic protection against conversion efforts.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145082120","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}
