The current study posits that differences in rural and regional norms across the US may contribute to the varying ways that LGBTQ slurs are used to shame gender and sexuality \"others\" when they are perceived as not meeting the standards of hetero-cis-normativity (or sometimes referred to as cisheteronormativity or cis-heteronormativity). Specifically, Worthen's conceptualization of The Queer Adjustment wherein efforts to assert and affirm one's social power are a part of a process that involves stigmatizing and disciplining those perceived as not hetero-cis-normative enough is used and \"fag/fagot,\" \"dyke,\" \"tranny,\" \"queer,\" \"no homo,\" and \"that's so gay!\" slurs are theorized as foils to hetero-cis-normativity. Focusing on Norm-Centered Stigma Theory, data from a sample of US adults aged 18-64 stratified by US census categories age, gender, race/ethnicity, and census region collected from online panelists are utilized to investigate hetero-cis-normativity and intersecting experiences with social power as they relate to rurality, region, and the use of LGBTQ slurs. Findings show that rural men are more likely to use LGBTQ slurs and that hetero-cis-normativity and US region are all significantly related to LGBTQ slur use. Implications emphasize the need to address the significant psychological, physical, and social harms that these oppressive LGBTQ slurs contribute to.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-35"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144592631","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}

Of 130 responses, 43 provided qualitative data relevant for the present study. Data were analyzed using an inductive reflexive thematic approach and three themes were developed. Theme 1 \"Reflect on Your Biases and Learn the Language\" described how HCPs should learn about LGBTQA+ issues to build trust and ensure safety during preparation sessions. Theme 2 \"Identity and the Return from Universal Consciousness\" described how HCPs should adopt a flexible, client-led approach when supporting identity exploration. Theme 3 \"The Art of Being-There\"described how HCPs should thoughtfully modulate their presence during clients' psychedelic experiences. These findings offer nuanced insights into enhancing the development of PAT protocols tailored for clients from LGBTQA+ communities, underscoring the need for care that acknowledges the variety of experiences and needs of LGBTQA+ individuals.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-27"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144592630","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}

Employing a qualitative design, we conducted in‑depth individual and group interviews with six same‑sex couples and two state officials and analyzed the data using Critical Discourse Analysis. Our findings reveal that Chile's adoption system is governed by norms favoring heteronormative family models: statutory provisions prioritize married couples and relegate same‑sex couples to lower eligibility tiers. Although same‑sex couples are lauded for their willingness to adopt children with special needs or older children, they nonetheless encounter pervasive barriers and discrimination, exposing a governance model that-while ostensibly inclusive-perpetuates their marginalization. We demonstrate that this normative framework legitimizes a form of \"precarious inclusion,\" which entrenches the exclusion of dissident family profiles. Consequently, a critical review of public policies is essential: reforming order‑of‑precedence criteria and dismantling exclusionary mechanisms will advance social justice and fully recognize all family configurations.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-23"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144555395","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}

However, most of these studies have primarily examined individual differences in heterosexual men, heterosexual women, and gay men. The present study investigates whether pathogen disgust, as measured by the Three-Domain of Disgust Scale, predicts individual differences in preferences for feminine characteristics in faces, voices, and personality traits of romantic partners among Chinese lesbian and bisexual women (n = 499). Results indicated that preferences for feminine characteristics in women's faces and voices were positively associated with pathogen disgust, but not with moral or sexual disgust. Preferences for feminine personality traits were positively associated with both pathogen and sexual disgust, but unrelated to moral disgust. These findings suggest that individual differences in pathogen disgust contribute to variations in femininity preferences across multiple domains of romantic partner selection among Chinese lesbian and bisexual women, highlighting the significant role of disease-related factors in shaping romantic partner preferences.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144561575","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}

Given known barriers to care, SM adults may prefer online platforms due to limited access to in-person clinical care and fear of discrimination. To date, there is limited knowledge of these behaviors among subgroups of SM adults. This study was a cross-sectional, secondary data analysis of the United States National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) Adult Sample Data Set, 2018. Utilizing descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regressions, we found that bisexual females had significantly greater odds (AOR = 1.58, CI: 1.04-2.39) of seeking health information online compared to straight females. Similarly, when compared to their straight male counterparts, gay males had significantly higher odds of seeking health information online in the past 12 months (AOR = 2.96, 95% CI: 2.00-4.37). These findings indicate the need for targeting messaging and interventions to address the health concerns of these populations. It also suggests that virtual platforms are viable and perhaps preferred for these subgroups of SM adults. Through continued efforts and research, the field can target relevant health information to populations who need it most by leveraging where they seek it.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12240472/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144545527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using intersectionality as a framework for queer pedagogy, the authors, queer Taiwanese immigrant teacher-educators, conducted action research to confront the issue. 60 preservice art teachers across three U.S. public universities consented to participate in the art project In Their Shoes, through which they analyzed artworks by queer artists of Asian descent, engaged in authentic discourse on layered identity, and expressed their reflections by creating original artworks. The analysis of their artworks reveals three prominent themes: intersecting racial minority and queer identities, confronting intergenerational trauma and gendered expectations, and reclaiming agency through interracial learning. To reflect the overall learning experience, these themes are further theorized as positional displacement, reclamation aesthetics, and intersectional resonance. The study demonstrates the transformative potential of integrating queer Asian art into teacher education to challenge normative narratives and foster empathy, reflexivity, and critical consciousness in preservice art educators.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-32"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144334219","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}

Despite substantial scholarly attention to the invocation of victimhood in justifying dominant ideologies within institutional and top-down contexts, literature on victimhood in bottom-up discourses remains comparatively scarce, particularly LGBTQ+ communities. This study addresses this gap by examining how victimhood is constructed in both anti- and pro-LGBTQ+ discourses on Malaysian social media, utilizing van Leeuwen's socio-semantic approach to Critical Discourse Studies. Our findings reveal competing victimhood discourses constructed through the polarized ways of manipulating LGBTQ+ individuals' sociological agency. Anti-LGBTQ+ discourse amplifies LGBTQ+ individuals' agency through activation in material transactions, passivation paired with negation, activation of their actions, and association with criminal perpetrators, representing them as powerful victimizers. Pro-LGBTQ+ discourse, conversely, diminishes their agency through passivation, reactions, non-transactions, activation in material transactions combined with negation and interrogation, and association with victims of persecution, positioning them as disempowered victims. Our study highlights how multiple discursive strategies and linguistic resources work in tandem to shape agency, establishing victim-victimizer dynamics that legitimize opposing ideological positions.","PeriodicalId":48221,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Homosexuality","volume":" ","pages":"1-29"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144327207","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}
