Using semi-structured interviews and \"walking interviews\" with seven participants, this research examines the participants' migration motives, gender resocialisation, and interactions within queer and Latin American communities in London. A thematic analysis, guided by intersectionality and minority stress theory as theoretical lenses, produced four key themes: (1) Latin American culture and family dynamics: tradition and hostility contributing to distancing; (2) migration as a catalyst for gender identity exploration; (3) intersectional challenges in London: transphobia, xenophobia, and psychological well-being; and (4) queer integrations: support systems, activism, and the need for intersectional thinking. The study emphasizes the challenges of identity navigation, the systemic barriers faced by participants, and the psychological impact of these intersecting forms of oppression. It highlights the need for tailored support services for trans and non-binary Latin American individuals in healthcare, employment, and community support. It also advocates for more comprehensive, culturally sensitive, intersectional research and policy development approaches.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-25"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143774526","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 study examined if intragroup marginalization within the gay community contributes to SMM's mental health after accounting for experiences of heterosexist discrimination. Study participants were 283 Australian SMM (Mage = 32.12, SD = 10.81) who completed an online survey of heterosexist discrimination and intragroup marginalization, as well as levels of depression, social anxiety, self-esteem, and outness. Intragroup marginalization was measured using a new scale assessing marginalization due to social (e.g., status), individual (e.g., physical appearance), and identity (e.g., race/ethnicity) attributes. Depression, social anxiety, and self-esteem were regressed on all other measures in three hierarchical models. Individual intragroup marginalization predicted greater depression, social anxiety, and lower self-esteem; identity intragroup marginalization predicted greater depression and social anxiety; and, unexpectedly, social intragroup marginalization predicted lower social anxiety and greater self-esteem. These associations persisted after considering heterosexist discrimination, which predicted poorer mental health outcomes, while outness was not a significant predictor. The results reveal varied associations between intragroup marginalization, heterosexist discrimination, and mental health, suggesting complex relationships between multilateral stressors and SMM's mental health.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-31"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143765376","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}

Reflexive thematic analysis was used to identify four themes in the data. One theme found participants describing a shared queer identity as essential for seeking informal peer support, while the second found that being understood was more important than any particular identity. A third theme identified \"blind spots\" in LGBTQIA+ informal peer support, whereby particular identities had difficulty accessing this support, while a fourth theme articulated the versatile roles played by informal support in LGBTQIA+ mental health. Divergent perspectives on the importance of LGBTQIA+ identity and potential avenues for future research based on the findings are discussed.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-27"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143774523","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}

Using data from a national sample of LGBT Americans aged 50 years and older, structural equation models were estimated to examine the mediating role of perceived social support for the relationship between social network size and composition and depressive symptoms and loneliness. Models were estimated with total social network size, and then grouped by LGBT and non-LGBT identity, and age composition (≥50 vs <50). Total social network size had a direct and indirect association with emotional wellbeing, with the indirect association mediated by perceived social support. Although perceived social support mediated the association between both LGBT and non-LGBT social network size and emotional wellbeing, the mediation effect for LGBT network size was larger. Perceived social support mediated the association between the social network size of members aged 50 years or older and emotional wellbeing, while the social network size of members less than 50 years old had no significant direct or indirect association. Due to shared experiences, LGBT older adults may feel more supported by similar others, and therefore, these networks were likely more advantageous for their emotional wellbeing.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143732416","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 analyzed using Reflexive Thematic analysis, utilizing the reflexivity and subjectivity of the researcher to produce the overall themes. Three overall themes were conceptualized, the first theme \"Perfection or rejection\" reflected pressures to attain a \"fit\" body type by the queer community, and how this translated to a lack of body acceptance. The second theme \"Hate your current body, but not yourself\" explored how participants perceived self-criticism as \"positive\" in relation to weight loss. The third theme \"Better to be hungry than overeat,\" demonstrated participants engagement in problematic dieting behaviors and how participants suggested these practices to others, despite discussing the impact on their overall wellbeing.

Guided by Street's pathway model of health communication, this study investigates the relationships between PCC, health orientation, social support, and sleep health among sexual minorities. Specifically, it examined whether health orientation mediated the association between PCC and sleep health, and whether social support moderated this indirect relationship. Results from a national survey in China (N = 273) showed that PCC indirectly influenced sleep health among sexual minorities through its positive association with health orientation. Specifically, PCC was positively associated with health orientation, which, in turn, was linked to improved sleep health. Additionally, social support moderated this indirect relationship, with the effect of PCC on sleep health via health orientation being significant only at high levels of social support. This study provides insights for healthcare providers and policymakers to address health disparities among sexual minorities. Implementing patient-centered strategies, fostering social support networks, and promoting health orientation can contribute to improved sleep health and overall well-being among sexual minority individuals.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143732414","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}

While conservative Protestant groups actively resist LGBTQ advocacy, some Protestants support sexual minorities despite facing personal and institutional risks. Drawing on Foucault's theory of subjectivation and Butler's concept of ethical subjectivation, this study frames allyship as an ongoing performative process shaped by relational encounters and acts of solidaristic engagement. Based on in-depth interviews with 12 Protestant individuals, it identifies key triggers for desubjectivation, such as disillusionment with Protestant institutions, unaccountable suffering, and exposure to counter-discourses, and examines the practices through which they reconfigure their subjectivity. These include participating in the Queer Culture Festival, publicly coming out as allies, and reappropriating religious rituals as acts of resistance. By disrupting the conditions of recognition within the Protestant regime of truth and destabilizing their prior Protestant identity, Protestant allies reconfigure their subjectivity and redefine what it means to be Protestant while assuming ethical responsibility for LGBTQ individuals.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143711637","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 cross-sectional study surveyed 300 trans women at the Mitr Clinic. Mental health was assessed using the GHQ-12, and substance use was evaluated using the ASSIST. Data on demographics, occupation, education, and HIV status were collected. Relevant ethical approvals were obtained. Among participants, 21% were identified as sex workers. GHQ-12 scores were significantly higher among sex workers compared to non-sex workers, indicating poorer mental health (p = 0.004). High-risk alcohol use was reported by 4% of participants, with a marginal association between sex work and alcohol use (p = 0.05).
