A systematic search of BPS journals was conducted using the BPS/Wiley search engine PsychSource. The search was conducted on 1 January 2018 and no timeframe was set for the search. Sixty-nine articles were identified across the BPS journals between 1941–2017. Until the end of the 1970s content focused almost exclusively on assessment and treatment of homosexuality (and to a lesser extent transsexuality), and was published primarily in the British Journal of Medical Psychology (n = 20; 1941–2000). From 1980 onwards, the content of articles mainly focused on anti-gay prejudice and have been published primarily in the British Journal of Social Psychology (n = 31; 1986–2017). The findings demonstrate a shift from a medical model of homosexuality prior to the 1980s, to focusing on homophobia as a social psychological problem. The review highlights a paucity of content relating to LGBTIA issues within the 11 official BPS journals. Within four BPS journals no relevant articles were identified. The range of LGBTIA topics published within these journals are also found to be extremely narrow.","PeriodicalId":91790,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of sexualities review","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81401279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This exploratory study sought to understand the everyday experiences of self-identified asexuals within university contexts, the challenges they face and the ways in which these are understood and navigated. Four participants, attending UK universities, were recruited through lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex and asexual (LGBTQIA+) Facebook groups. Data was collected through photo-elicitation interviews and analysed using interpretive phenomenological analysis, through which three superordinate themes were developed: navigating normative social space, navigating (in)visibility and coming out and creating safer spaces. These, along with their subordinate themes, are outlined and then discussed in relation to existing literature and recommendations for future research are made.","PeriodicalId":91790,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of sexualities review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79151847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study aimed to examine the intersection of religion and sexual identity for queer Muslim women. Eight lesbian/bisexual/sexual minority Muslim women were interviewed about their lived experiences using a semi-structured interview. A thematic analysis, informed by internal conflict theory, identified five themes: (i) compartmentalised identities; (ii) religious expectations; (iii) Is being gay a choice? (iv) ‘I am who I am’: acceptance; and (v) authenticity. The results revealed an internal conflict from compartmentalised identities, but acceptance was a dominating theme. It investigates a novel issue and future research is warranted regarding the development of interventions to improve wellbeing for queer Muslim women.","PeriodicalId":91790,"journal":{"name":"Psychology of sexualities review","volume":"123 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85271773","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
