While acknowledging the unwarranted subordination of women in workplaces, this paper challenges the prevailing notion that all men thrive on heterosexual male privilege in workplaces. I argue that the adoption of the feminist standpoint epistemology to Black gay men's experiences in heteropatriarchal male-dominated workplaces can illuminate hidden aspects of oppression and contribute to feminist knowledge. Having employed the feminist standpoint epistemology in two studies on the experiences of Black gay men in male-dominated workplaces, I reflect on how the intersecting identities of Black gay men provide a distinctive standpoint that enriches feminist knowledge within the South African context. The paper highlights the role of Black gay men in expanding feminist knowledge and advocating for change within heteronormative and patriarchal workplace cultures that suppress their voices and render them invisible.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144057686","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 argue that some do so by evading difference based on sexual orientation and gender identity. While emphasizing individuals and their fundamental sameness may convey an egalitarian standpoint, evading difference might obscure markers of intergroup inequality, blur the advantaged status of cisheterosexual people, and thereby legitimize structural inequality. Using mixed-methods-in-depth interviews (N = 20) and online surveys (N = 531)-we characterized distinct profiles of cisheterosexual people in the Netherlands, combining low-to-high difference evasion (\"People who focus a lot on sexual orientation and gender identity forget that we are all just people\") with low-to-high inequality evasion (\"Compared to cisgender and heterosexual people, LGBTQ people have equal opportunities\"). In turn, these profiles distinguished how cisheterosexual people manage their advantaged identity and their ideological outlook on inequality. Specifically, those evading difference were more likely to evade inequality than those acknowledging difference. Furthermore, those acknowledging difference were most likely to recognize privilege and exhibit a substantive egalitarian outlook. We conclude by discussing how cisheterosexual people can either perpetuate or challenge inequality by managing difference and the implications of these findings.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-30"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144041675","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 systematic Review of Literature was carried out to explore the previous studies in this field. This was followed by primary data collection. Eleven participants- six gay men, three transgender women, one pansexual woman and one bisexual man were recruited through snowball sampling and participated in telephonic interviews. Based on the content analyses, three themes were established; (1) Creation and expression of gender/sexual identity through clothing (2) Identification and procurement of clothing and (3) Need for acceptance and integration through Fashion and Media.

Despite this, there is limited understanding among researchers and care practitioners about how individuals counter-narrate and manage stigmatizing stress in contexts involving multiple stigmas. This study addresses this gap by using online semi-structured interviews, drawing on a process-oriented understanding of addiction stigma to explore how Chinese gay men construct empirical counter-narratives. These narratives aim to reposition themselves within the intersecting hierarchies of heterosexuality and drug prohibition. The counter-narratives constructed by gay men go beyond personal justifications for sexual drug use, viewing stigma as a power structural product that marginalizes homosexuality and drug use while seeking equal recognition. Participants advocated for the sexual liberation aspect of chemsex as a valid and individualized expression, a way to challenge the heterosexual order's understanding of gay subculture, and a critique of the normalization processes embedded in political prohibitions and health classifications. These narratives highlight the efforts of gay men to legitimize their sexual practices and assert \"respect for me\" within dominant power structures. Thus, we conceptualize this practice as \"Chemsexism,\" rooted in a participants-centered perspective and the principle of life affirmation and then call for further regional exploration using this framework.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144020742","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 elevated prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder is one example of this health disparity. Informed by the theories of minority stress, rejection sensitivity, and stress buffering, we tested LGBTQ+-related rejection sensitivity as a potential mechanism and LGBTQ+ community connectedness as a potential protective factor in the effect of anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination on generalized anxiety in LGBTQ+ people. Using survey data from adult U.S. participants with diverse sexual-orientation identities, gender identities, and geographic locations (N = 461), we found that LGBTQ+-related rejection sensitivity mediates the indirect effect of experiences with anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination on generalized anxiety. We found that this indirect effect occurred contextually, primarily in persons who had low to moderate, but not high, LGBTQ+ community connectedness. In exploratory analyses, the results remained substantially unchanged when controlling for age, sexual orientation identity, gender identity, and region. We conclude that LGBTQ+-related rejection sensitivity may partially explain, whereas LGBTQ+ community connectedness may buffer the effect of minority stress on generalized anxiety in LGBTQ+ people.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144025225","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 study highlights the pervasive structural homophobic violence they face from childhood to adulthood. Through in-depth interviews and reflexive thematic analysis, the research emphasizes how heterocisnormative norms and ideals of masculinity severely restrict gender expression and corporality from early ages, significantly impacting their development and identity. The study underscores the critical need to create inclusive and safe spaces that mitigate the impact of violence and promote holistic well-being throughout all stages of life. The research findings reveal a complex interaction between body, identity, and violence, suggesting that inclusion and respect for diversity from childhood are fundamental to the development of more equitable and understanding societies.

This analysis applies Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak's foundational paper \"Can the Subaltern Speak?\" as a theoretical framework. A qualitative research approach-that is, textual analysis-has been applied to the selected excerpts of the novel Less. The goal is to deconstruct and explore various dimensions of Less, the protagonist and his marginalization, including professional exclusion, personal insecurity, societal prejudice, and internalized homonegativity. The analysis concludes that a significant part of Less's marginalization is related to his oppression in a society that has established negative views on homosexuality. In turn, these views, grounded in the concept of internalized homonegativity, underline the level of his subalternity. Decentering Less based on Spivak implies applying this marginality to the position of the gay author. The findings of the analysis reflect the situation in which Less's contribution as a writer is systematically devalued by the dominating literary discourse. Besides, the extracted thematic is meant to demonstrate the intersectionality of Less's marginality, as other aspects of his identity-namely, age, professional status, and personal weakness-endorse his subaltern status.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144006852","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 film discusses how forced heterosexual relationships negatively impact not only homosexual individuals but also their heterosexual spouses, especially in a conservative community. The film revolves around Mathew, a retired bank manager and a leftist candidate in a Gram Panchayat by-election, whose candidacy is jeopardized when his wife Omana files for divorce, citing his homosexuality and failure to fulfill marital duties. As Mathew struggles to conceal his sexuality, he faces both ridicule and support from various factions. The plot gradually reveals how Devassy, his father, forced him to marry a woman despite knowing that his son was gay. The film takes a significant narrative shift when Devassy overcomes his dogmatic beliefs, supports Mathew's coming out, and facilitates Omana's pursuit of legal separation. The film challenges embedded heteronormative social norms while leaning into sentimental storytelling, making it both a bold statement and an emotional drama. It criticizes the stark enforcement of heterosexuality, marital oppression, and societal hypocrisy. The director strategically casts Mammootty and Jyothika, two highly acclaimed South Indian actors with immense stardom and widespread appeal, to broaden the film's reach and impact.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144053134","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}
