An Examination of School Harassment for Middle School Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Questioning Students.

▼ Most schools are not safe environments for
lesbian,
gay, and
bisexual students or for individuals who are questioning their sexual orientation. Harassment and victimization of
lesbian,
gay,
bisexual, and questioning (LGBQ) students is pervasive. The harassment and victimization result in these students having higher rates of absenteeism and lower academic achievements than their peers. To date, most research has focused on primarily high school
lesbian,
gay, and
bisexual students. Very few
studies have included students questioning their sexual orientation. This quantitative descriptive study utilized an anonymous survey to gather information about middle school LGBQ students’ experiences with harassment. The study included 208 middle school students. The results were compiled into three groups (
lesbian/
gay/
bisexual, questioning, and straight) and compared. Findings indicated that LGBQ students experience significantly more harassment than straight students and questioning students are more likely to experience victimization that
lesbian,
gay,
bisexual, and straight students. The findings support the need for middle school administrators and staff members to take steps to create more inclusive school climates for LGBQ students.

Deviants of Great Potential: Images of the Leopold-Loeb Case.

▼ Deviants of Great Potential analyzes the 1924 Leopold-Loeb case as a cultural narrative with important effects on the marginalization of same-sex sexuality in men throughout the twentieth century and into the twenty-first. After Chicago teenagers Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb were arrested for the United States' first nationally recognized "thrill killing," the apparently motiveless murder of fourteen-year-old Robert Franks, the Leopold-Loeb case became an instant cause celebre. The popular fixation on the case continued in the decades after 1924, as journalists and behavioral scientists treated it as a precedent for understanding a certain type of crime and criminal. Meanwhile – especially after World War II – a slew of novelists, playwrights, and filmmakers offered their own interpretations.;Through the intertwining representations of the case in fiction and nonfiction, the Leopold-Loeb case became a cautionary tale about the dangers of "abnormal" sexuality in men. Narratives of the case portrayed Leopold and Loeb's sexual relationship as the sine qua non of Robert Franks's murder, and the case thereby came to represent same-sex sexuality as a threat to moral order and public safety, and to serve as a counterexample of the traits "normal" men should or should not exhibit.

▼ The purpose of this study was to explore the impact a group level intervention based on Robert Enright's (2001) forgiveness model would have on LGBT adolescents hurt by homophobic offenses. The purposive sample consisted of 26 LGBT- identified adolescents recruited from community-based organizations located in the Midwest and randomly placed in either an experimental group or a wait-list control group. The group intervention consisted of six weekly sessions, each lasting 90 minutes. Participants completed an assessment battery that measured levels of forgiveness and mental health symptomology at three time points: pre-intervention, post-intervention, and approximately one month after completion of the intervention. The researcher ran two separate analyses: (1) a comparison of mean differences between the experimental and wait-list turned experimental group, and (2) a pre-test/post-test comparison of a sample created by combining the experimental and wait-list groups. Similar analyses were completed to compare racial/ethnic differences among the sample. Results from the first data analysis indicated that the experimental group improved significantly on levels of anxiety and on the Enright Forgiveness Inventory One Item Scale Score, but no statistically significant differences were found on the other measures. The waitlist turned experimental group experienced a significant improvement on Enright Forgiveness measures only. The second analysis produced data that found significant improvements on all forgiveness and mental health measures. Implications of this study and recommendations for future researchers wanting to implement a similar program are discussed.

Transgender People on University Campuses: A Policy Discourse Analysis.
Degree: PhD, Educational Leadership, Research and Technology, 2011, Western Michigan University

▼ The goal of this study is to examine the language used to discuss
transgender people on university campuses. My main research question was: What do university reports describe as problems and solutions for
transgender people in universities? The primary data for this study consists of 16 reports issued at four Big Ten schools from 1992-2010. These reports address the inclusion of gender identity and expression in nondiscrimination policies, the status of
transgender people on university campuses, or both. This study employs policy discourse analysis, a hybrid methodology that analyzes written documents using feminist, critical, and poststructural theories in order to identify the
subject positions generated through policy discourse. These reports should be viewed in the context of primary sources that illustrate a long history of LGBTQ civil rights battles. My aim is to understand how these reports framed discussions about
transgender people, and what this in turn tells us about the reality produced by the reports.
The resulting study therefore reveals significant discrepancies between objectives sought, means used, and outcomes achieved. For example, a university’s report on the status of
transgender people may use language depicting them as “vulnerable” or as “victims,” even as it strives to make the university more welcoming to
transgender individuals. The predominant images of
transgender people are those of victims of harassment inspired by ignorance, and supplicants for protection to university decision makers. The discourses used to shape these problems, solutions, and images are those of facilities, education/training, and support. The role of LGBT resource centers is central to the provision of services for
transgender people and these centers form a significant part of the support discourse. The predominant protection discourse is one that presents itself as offering safety to
transgender people through isolation and segregation – a solution that operates, among other things, to relieve cisgender people’s discomfort around gender variance though
transgender “accommodation,” but at the cost of reinforcing the marginalization of trans people. This study shows the need to reframe the discourse on university campuses about
transgender people and offers concrete ideas about how to do so in order to make campuses truly gender-friendly.

▼ The existing literature on queer utopianism tends to analyze static aesthetic artifacts as opposed to diachronic social movements designed to create material policy changes. This opens room for various criticisms of queer utopianism regarding it being too wishful and devolving into political and social forms of queer dystopia. In order to remedy this concern, this thesis seeks to investigate how queer utopic thought can be used to create long-lasting change. To answer this question, this thesis is broadly divided into two sections—one theoretical and one practical. My theoretical section delves into an analysis of the after-effects of queer utopic cuts and seeks to explain how they can create long-lasting change. My practical section uses ACT UP as a case study in queer utopianism and analyzes six demonstrations by AIDS activists as queer utopic moments. From both of these sections, I draw conclusions about how these cuts in heteronormativity can be used to create long-lasting change.

▼ Despite Latin America’s
lesbian,
gay,
bisexual,
transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) movement’s recent ground-breaking political achievements, wide spread social acceptance of LGBTQ individuals is not evident in every institution, nor in every part of the region. For some, migration to the U.S. is the solution for escaping the strict social constructs of the region. Of the many
studies focusing on the LGBTQ individuals, limited research examines the Latino/a segment of the LGBTQ population. The study explores the motivations behind migration as well as the resettlement process of those immigrating to the San Francisco Bay Area from Latin America, focusing on the areas of housing, economic stability, health care, and the workforce in both regions. A total of twelve participants were survey, five of which participated in follow-up interviews. The findings showed that male participants who identified as more masculine received considerably less discrimination on the bases of their sexual orientation in Latin America, while male participants describing themselves as more effeminate received the most discrimination. Participants were generally more satisfied living in the San Francisco Bay Area rather than in their country of origin, even though the general complaint was against lack of affordable housing in San Francisco.

▼ Give Up the Ghost is a series of six paintings created in Fall 2018 and Spring 2019. The paintings are an introspective examination of
transgender subjectivity in visual narrative.
In this paper, I separate the personal and research through first and third person, similarly to how I separate imagery and mark making in my paintings. The paper is broken up into a description of the project, the history and theory which informs the work, and why painting is used to describe bodies and spaces.
Give Up the Ghost refers to giving up social expectations as determined by gender. The paintings hint at the unexamined experiences one encounters through a
transgender perspective. My aim is to show the interconnections between an experience and the social which allows experiences to transpire. Using impasto and layered paint, I slowly build bodies and spaces, to show a deeper subjectivity in how bodies and spaces relate with one another.

Tilling the Soil for LGBTQ Inclusive Policies: A Case Study of One School's Attempt to Bring Policy into Practice.

▼ In this three-article dissertation, I attempt to contribute to an understanding of what it might look like to heal the harms caused by heteronormativity in school climates. I first present a theoretical piece, "Toward a Queered Democratic Framework: Moving Theory into Practice," in which, using post-structural and queer theories, my aim is to supplement ideas from participatory democratic theories, and to name and explore what I am calling a Queered Democratic Framework (QDF). Throughout this article, my intention is to establish a line of communication between participatory democratic theories and post-structural and queer theories. I make the case that these two theories, together, will advance our understandings of, and actions to eradicate, oppression. Together, they will move us beyond identity politics, beyond multicultural education and an additive model of inclusion, to more of a focus on habits of mind and heart that push on traditional conceptions of difference.
In the second article, "Tilling the Soil for LGBTQ Inclusive Policies: Learning Lessons from Desegregation to Cultivate Communities of Safety and Inclusivity," In this article, I argue that policies focused on equity cannot be expected, in and of themselves, to overcome social ills that are obstacles to their implementation (Wells et al, 1997). Drawing on lessons from Brown v. Board, I maintain that working for social change requires relying on all members of the school community: administration, teachers, parents and students (Wells et al, 1997). In this article, I share descriptions of interventions focused on gender and sexual diversity, illustrations of what happened in each, and reactions of all stakeholders. I offer this model as an example of what it might look like to queer the implementation of a policy like FAIR and to till the soil – to cultivate community with the intention of healing harms caused by heteronormativity and to create safety and inclusivity.
In my final article, Navigating the relationship between policy and practice: Competing discourses of fear and care in teachers' sense making about the FAIR Education Act, I take a step closer in, and spend time focusing on teachers. I examine the relationship between large-scale social discourses and local, school discourses as it plays out in their conversations about gender and sexuality. Grounded in concepts of discourse, silence and power, discursive theories of gender and sexuality are central (e.g. Foucault, Hall, Butler) to this piece. I examine what happens in professional development settings when teachers are given opportunities to make sense of their roles in attending to topics of gender and sexual diversity, through conversations and dialogue, specifically in the context of the passage of FAIR. I argue that examining this relationship provides key insights into the ways teachers make sense of equity-focused policies that are meant to shift sociopolitical paradigms, and their roles and responsibilities in the implementation of such policies.

A Mixed-methods Study of Sexual Assault in Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Adults in the U.S.
Degree: PhD, 2017, University of Arkansas

▼ Background. Previous research finds that (1)
lesbian and
bisexual (LB) women as well as
gay and
bisexual (GB) men have higher rates of rape victimization compared to their heterosexual (H) peers and (2) perceived familial support reduces the impact of some of rape’s negative health outcomes in heterosexual victims. However, specific contextual factors regarding rape and assessment of familial support for LGB victims are severely lacking. Also, measurements of sexual assault victimization have yet to be validated in this population.
Methodology. The current study used a mixed-methods design that included two phases of data collection. Phase 1 was a national sample online survey of LBH women (n = 1,295). Phase 2 was a convenience sample online survey of LBH women and GBH men; data collection for Phase 2 is ongoing. Prevalence rates were calculated using a modified form of the Sexual Experience Survey – Short Form Revised (SES-SFV).
Results. In Manuscript 1, 63% of B women, 49% of L women, and 35% of H women reported experiencing rape in their lifetime. LB women had increased odds of victimization (B only) and re-victimization (L and B) compared to H women. H women reported more family support than LB women, but when victimization status was controlled for, all women reported equal levels of family support. In Manuscript 2, all nonconsensual behaviors and nearly all perpetration tactics in the original SES-SFV emerged inductively in our qualitative data. Using quantitative data, LB victims endorsed each perpetration tactic in the SES-SFV at comparable rates to H victims. However, the original SES-SFV did not capture some common experiences that participants described in their open-ended narratives.
Conclusion.
In Manuscript 1, some contextual factors of sexual violence differed between LBH women while others were the same across sexual orientation. Yet, sexual orientation clearly played a role in sexual violence risk given it had the strongest relationship with victimization status compared to all other demographic characteristics. In Manuscript 2, the SES-SFV satisfactorily assessed sexual assault and rape experiences in LBH women. Possible additions and deletions to the SES-SFV are presented alongside discussion of managing comprehensiveness and participant fatigue.

▼ Although the negative outcomes of heterosexist discrimination have been well researched in the psychological literature, positive coping mechanisms and outcomes, such as engagement in activism aimed at improving the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) individuals, are understudied. The present study examined potential mediators (i.e., LGBQ relational connectedness, search for meaning, and heterosexism awareness), moderators (i.e., LGBQ identity centrality and perceived efficacy for collective action), and moderated mediation of the link between heterosexist discrimination and activism among 867 LGBQ adults. Results revealed that heterosexist discrimination was directly and indirectly (via search for meaning and heterosexism awareness) related to LGBQ activism. Identity centrality moderated the heterosexist discrimination→heterosexism awareness link and indicated support for moderated mediation via conditional process analyses. More specifically, heterosexist discrimination predicted heterosexist awareness for LGBQ persons with low, moderate, and high identity centrality but the relations were stronger for those with low identity centrality.

EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THREE INTERVENTIONS DESIGNED TO ENHANCE PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS’ ATTITUDES TOWARD SEXUAL MINORITIES.

▼ Sexual minority students’ encounters with discrimination and harassment are increasing in school settings. Per the research, the discrimination and harassment they experience partly stems from teachers’ negative attitudes toward sexual minorities and a lack of understanding of the needs of these individuals, which can negatively impact students’ psychological well-being and create an unwelcoming environment (Dessel, 2010; Mudrey & Medina-Adams, 2006; Riggs, Rosenthal, & Smith-Bonahue, 2011). Teachers are responsible for ensuring a safe environment for students that promotes mental and physical health (Larrabee & Morehead, 20’10; Mudrey & Medina-Adams, 2006; Riggs et al., 2011). Therefore, it’s vital to determine ways to reduce teachers’ negative attitudes and increase their knowledge and empathy toward sexual minorities in order to enhance students’ well-being and create a supportive school atmosphere (Maddux, 1988). Although researchers have independently tested the effectiveness of intervention strategies (e.g., workshops, courses) designed to reduce negative attitudes, a comprehensive study to determine which one may be most successful in reducing negative attitudes, while enhancing knowledge and empathy, has yet to be conducted. The current study assessed the effects of three intervention strategies designed to reduce pre-service teachers’ negative attitudes, and increase their knowledge and empathy toward sexual minorities. Due to conservative religious beliefs being a main contributor to negative attitudes toward sexual minorities, this study also examined the impact of religious beliefs on participants’ responses to the interventions. Pre- and post-data were collected from 139 pre-service teachers enrolled in undergraduate educational psychology and teacher education courses at a Southeastern University. Students participated in one of three intervention strategies, a video documentary, a workshop, or regular classroom instruction. Results demonstrated that there were no significant differences between participants in the video, workshop, and control groups on attitudes, knowledge, or empathy from pre- to post-intervention. However, within group differences were found in the video and workshop interventions on certain aspects of attitudes, empathy, and knowledge. In addition, results illustrated that religious beliefs had an impact on participants’ knowledge and empathy towards sexual minorities. Contributions to the literature and implications of the findings are discussed as well as limitations and directions for future research.

▼ Lesbian women may experience discrimination because of their gender and their sexual orientation termed sexism and heterosexism, respectively. Both sexism and heterosexism are associated with increased psychological distress and negative affect among
lesbian women. Furthermore, preliminary evidence suggests that heterosexism is associated with binge eating among
lesbian women. However, the relationship between discrimination and binge eating has received limited empirical examination. This study examined associations between sexism and heterosexism, negative affect, and binge eating using a daily diary methodology. Participants were recruited online through social media and LGBT organizations after completing an online eligibility survey with measures of demographics, binge eating, social isolation, and
lesbian and feminist identity. A sample of thirty eligible women (i.e., 18-30 year old
lesbian women who reported binge eating in the past week) completed daily measures of sexism, heterosexism, negative affect, and binge eating for 10 days. Hierarchical linear modeling revealed that daily sexism was associated with daily negative affect, and, daily negative affect was associated with daily binge eating. Similarly, daily heterosexism was related to daily negative affect, and, daily negative affect was related to daily binge eating. Positive
lesbian identity (i.e., identity affirmation) moderated the relationship between daily heterosexism and daily binge eating, such that, high identity affirmation strengthened the relationship between heterosexism and binge eating. Aspects of feminist identity did not moderate the relationship between daily sexism and daily binge eating. Neither social support nor social isolation moderated the relationship between daily heterosexism and daily binge eating. These results demonstrate the negative impact that heterosexism and sexism have on binge eating in daily life among
lesbian women.

▼ From the 1980s to the early years of the 21st century, media has increasingly incorporated the stories of
lesbian,
gay,
bisexual and
transgender (LGBT) individuals. This dissertation, “The Struggle for the Ordinary: Media Culture,
Transgender Audiences, and the Achievement of Everyday Life” presents a qualitative exploration into the complex relationship - a circuit of cultural influences - between media culture,
transgender identity formation, and everyday life. It accounts for the social, cultural and political processes that have resulted in a swelling of
transgender media visibility, and what is at stake in these representations for
transgender individuals. It develops from and extends the scholarship on media audiences and audience reception, which seeks to understand how ‘real’ people in the ‘real’ world interact with media to establish meaning in their everyday lives.
Informed by in-depth interviews and participant observation within the
transgender community, this investigation considers how
transgender audiences locate empowering messages and resources for identity work from within media culture. I illustrate how, in playing a primary role in study participants’ construction of a
transgender self, media carries the potential to expedite the process of self-realization and/or frustrate and delay it. Media engagements have significant influence over study participants’ interpersonal relationships, feelings of belonging, and sense of personal security. Informed by de Certeau’s (1984) theory of everyday “tactics,” I argue study participants employ strategies of creative adaptation, methodologies of survival and “ways of making do” (de Certeau, 1984, p. 29) in navigating a conflicting and often hostile media environment.
This dissertation also illuminates
transgender individuals’ struggle for the ordinary, or the constant and deliberate work devoted to achieving the common and routine inclusions, rhythms, and affordances of everyday life. In accord with the doctrines of ethnomethodology, I argue “the ordinary” is an achievement, a social accomplishment that requires conscious effort and creative labor. My dissertation extends the ethnomethodological tradition by emphasizing the role of communications technologies in accomplishing the ordinary.

▼ This thesis presents an exploratory account of ways that
transgender people’s personal YouTube channels, or “vlogs,” provide new avenues to cultivate resilience as a collective. To make sense of this unstable, contested model of identity and community, I apply a three-part model of “social resilience,” a theory of resilience that transcends the individual and welcomes incoherency, contradiction, and “messiness” into its analysis. In Chapter One, I provide a snapshot of
transgender history and present my research objective and justification. Chapter Two consists of a literature review and argues in favor of a hybrid theory of intersectionality and assemblage. Chapter Three outlines my epistemological frameworks and methods, and the limitations of qualitative social media research. In Chapter Four, I present my findings, and in Chapter Five I evaluate the potential for cultivating three dimensions of resilience through YouTube before offering suggestions for future research.

▼ Men and masculinities studies in
higher education are gaining prominence within the literature,
illuminating how cisgender men understand and grapple with
masculinity on college campuses. Additionally, the increased
visibility of trans* students has fueled the expanding scholarship
and attention to their experiences, often however centering on
White gender-conforming trans* students with little if any focus on
their multiple and intersecting identities. This phenomenological
study seeks to bridge these two areas of literature, by
investigating how trans*masculine students understand, define, and
adopt a masculine identity, and how that identity is informed by
their various intersecting and salient identities. Dominant
masculinities function as thresholds for trans*masculine college
students exploring their identity, as they construct multiple
trans*masculine pathways.

▼ This cross-sectional study examined relationships among discrimination, mental health (i.e., depression and anxiety), preparation for aging (i.e., familiarity and planning), social support, death attitudes, and aging anxiety among TGNC adults (
N = 154). Neither discrimination nor mental health predicted preparation for aging familiarity or planning. Discrimination did, however, predict both anxiety and depression, although only the non-affirmation subscale was a unique predictor of both. As discrimination and mental health were not a significant predictor of preparedness for aging in the previous regressions, the hypothesized mediation model and subsequent moderated mediation models were not conducted. Additional exploratory multiple regressions were run to identify patterns of connections among social support, death attitudes, aging anxiety (the proposed moderators) in relation to age preparation and planning. Social support predicted preparation for aging planning, but not familiarity. Death attitudes and aging anxiety predicted preparation for aging familiarity and planning. The current findings may inform mental health interventions for TGNC individuals around non-affirmation may positively influence mental health. Additionally, addressing aging concerns and increasing social support may promote age preparatory planning among TGNC individuals.

Recognition of the transgender self: an examination of the apologia of the 'pregnant man'.

▼ In 2008, Thomas Beatie, a legally recognized male,
transgender man, became pregnant with his first child and approached the American mass media to tell his story and defend his decisions. Shortly thereafter, the public fought against his image, attempting to normalize his body and gender. Beatie's unique gender blurring, his choice for exposure and social recognition, and the resulting public controversy surrounding the incident makes for an important test case to understand Beatie's discursive and visual strategies directed toward the American public.
This study, a rhetorical examination of the discourse and iconic visual image used by Beatie while his pregnant body received coverage by the mass media, seeks specifically to address the shortcomings in the study of discursive strategies for recognition of trans individuals. It uses the framing and theory of apologia rhetoric to understand Beatie's rhetorical choices. This project classifies and analyzes Beatie's messages, specifically looking for ways Beatie creates agency, identification and blurs his sex/gender identity. In exploring Beatie's discourse, this dissertation assesses the following fundamental questions about his discourse: to what degree does his apologia rhetoric operate as recognition? How well is he able to construct persuasive messages of apologia that allow him to be recognized in codes of pregnancy and masculinity at the same time?
In interrogating these questions, this project evaluates Beatie's strategies and determines how they inform conclusions about apologia rhetoric, performatives, and the current American ideologies on sex and gender. I demonstrate the fundamental impossibility of being recognized as both an intelligible pregnant man and explain why Beatie cannot defend certain choices or aspects of his life because his recognition is always incomplete and impossible. It concludes that Beatie acquires a sense of control at the same time that he asks for recognition of a body that is unintelligible to the public. His demand for recognition and its inevitable failure confounds the present system and makes him an individual that is difficult to tack down according to the contemporary sex/gender binary. Most importantly, his partial success and partial failed recognition may be necessary to disrupt long-standing sex/gender norms and cultural assumptions about bodies.

▼ This dissertation argues that
transgender men have a different positionality than cisgender men. Being raised as a girl, socialized as a woman, and then transitioning to a visible man can allow trans men to develop masculinities that do not fall into heteronormative hegemonic norms. Trans men bring the politics, social values, and experience of sexism into their identities creating different types of masculinities that cannot be encompassed by normative categories. Based on the ethnographic evidence gathered in this project, such men are identifying themselves as <i>trans</i> men, rather than solely as men. A model was developed from the data that illustrates how transitioning from one gender to another is an act that brings new perspective on how gender operates in our culture. From this viewpoint, trans men have the ability to more consciously create the sort of man they want to be. The project centers around the axes of the value added by trans masculinities, trans embodiment, and trans sexualities. Each of these identities is found to be socially negotiated in the cultural milieu, providing an opportunity for anthropologists to more closely examine how these new identities are being formed, contested, and incorporated into society.

Social Transition, Coming Out, and Challenging Transnormativity: Non-Binary Experiences in Healthcare.

▼ Transgender and non-binary individuals are highly stigmatized in North America, and this has staggering adverse effects on their physical and mental health. This stigma is structured and driven by cisnormativity and transnormativity, ubiquitous sets of social rules that determine “right” and “wrong” ways to do gender. Non-binary people experience excess stigma from cisgender (i.e. not transgender) people for “deviating” from the rules, but also from within the transgender community for not adhering to medical and binary definitions of transness. Specifically, non-binary people may choose not to transition medically, but very little research has been done on this. A sample of 12 non-binary participants was selected from a larger qualitative study about transgender experiences of discrimination. Interviews about healthcare experiences and thoughts on transition were thematically coded. Themes emerged relating to transnormativity, transition (medical and social), and coming out in healthcare environments. Participants felt pressure in medical settings to adhere to the gender binary and transition medically. However, many participants chose not to transition medically or desired to “mix and match” their medical transition. Social transition was important for most participants, including changing name, pronouns, and gender expression. In medical settings, participants were constantly assessing cues of safety in weighing their decision to come out as non-binary to their provider or not.

▼ São Paulo, Brazil is currently pursuing a project of creative urbanism. Though city rhetoric insists this project is rooted in tolerance of sexual diversity, I suggest that city policy effectively perpetuates normative conceptions of family and respectability. Using data gathered through a series of qualitative interviews with transgender and travesti individuals living in São Paulo, I argue that the straight time of São Paulo’s creative urbanism generates exclusionary temporalities and spatialities in the city that render travestis out of time and out of place. Furthermore, I argue that travestis use their capacity to enact shame through scandals to generate temporalities and spatialities of their own, ones not aligned with the reproductive, progressive futurity of straight time. In doing so, travestis participate in their own kind of creative urbanism and provide an affective challenge to the hetero- and homonormativity of São Paulo’s creative urban project. Building on recent scholarship in queer urbanism and affect, this thesis adds to critical efforts to understand how creative urbanism sexualizes space and time in contexts outside of EuroAmerica and how a queer theoretical approach contributes to critiques of progressive modernity.

▼ Beginning with the legalization of same-sex marriage in 2010 and following up with the passage of the gender identity law of 2012, Argentina has quickly catapulted itself to the forefront of LGBTQ (
lesbian,
gay,
bisexual, trans*, queer) rights in the world. This study sets out to answer a simple question: how did these vast legal changes come about in a country whose LGBTQ citizens are still met with hostility and discrimination? In order to answer this question I look at the ways LGBTQ activists have argued for the civil rights that they have achieved, and measure their success by analyzing hate crimes statistics and public opinion surveys that show how the LGBTQ community is perceived and treated in Argentina. I argue that the goals pursued by the country’s activists support an idea of equality and rights that results from neoliberal policies and the ‘tinting’ effect these policies have on identity politics. I label this generation of activists and political ideas the Lavender Tide, separating them from earlier generations that promoted an agenda that was both wider and more difficult to accomplish.

▼ This research looks at how playwrights within a specific and unique community use theatre to address challenges faced by that community to bring about positive change. Specifically, this investigation focuses on the American LGBTQ community, who have historically demonstrated a high level of success in using theatre to bring public awareness to specific issues, such as homophobia and AIDS, and how playwrights within that community are currently dealing with the ongoing crisis of teen suicide and bullying, particularly in light of a string of LGBTQ bullying-related suicides in September 2010. It asks the questions: is bullying becoming a common theme in the post-AIDS era of
gay theatre-making? What approaches and techniques are being used by these playwrights in their attempt to affect change? And finally, do these approaches reflect knowledge gained from the work of previous
gay and
lesbian playwrights in the Identity plays and the AIDS plays? Three core chapters will analyze and contextualize the approaches taken in six plays that focus on the physical, verbal, and psychological intimidation of children and adolescents written by LGBTQ-identified American playwrights in the period of 2010 - 2015. The approaches will then be examined in relation to current national initiatives being taken to reduce peer-victimization and violence in schools. Interviews with four of the playwrights will add insight into the personal, political, or social motivation for writing the work and the intended outcome.

▼ There is limited research on Latino LGBQ individuals and their coming-out experiences. To understand the coming out process of Latino LGBQ individuals, interviews were conducted with 10 Latino LGBQ young adults between the ages of 18 and 30 years old. Using Moustakas (1994) phenomenological approach, six themes derived from the study: (a) The disclosure process impacts family closeness and distance, (b) Latino LGBQ individuals’ family members enter a state of disbelief about their sexual orientation, (c) control of disclosure influences Latino LGBQ young adults’ perception of their coming-out experience, (d) the experience of coming-out for Latino LGBQ individuals is influenced by the cultural value of religion, (e) the experience of coming-out for Latino LGBQ individuals is influenced by the cultural value of traditional gender roles, and (f) disclosure of sexual identity is a continuous process for Latino LGBQ individuals. Clinical implications and areas for future research are discussed.

▼ This dissertation used queer rhetoric as a lens for studying queering gender norms on Instagram by using Lady Gaga's, Nicki Minaj's, and fan posts as case
studies. The research considers how celebrities may use social media, like Instagram, for queering gender norms, and what this might look like. This research also aimed to better understand if and how fans may take up celebrities' efforts at queering gender norms and, in turn, queer gender norms in their own Instagram posts where they tag Gaga or Minaj. To conduct this research, I took a multimodal methodological approach and collected and coded 1,000 posts from Gaga and Minaj, respectively, and 1,000 posts that used the hashtag Gaga and another 1,000 posts that used the hashtag Minaj. My findings suggested that Gaga and Minaj do not engage in the queering of gender norms as frequently as anticipated, and when they do it is often in relation to their public, staged performances as musicians. Furthermore, Gaga also spoke on issues relating to gender and marriage equality whereas Minaj also spoke on issues relating to racial equality. The data collected on fans was inconclusive in part because of the large number of spam posts and also because, without interviewing fans, it was difficult to discern whether they were taking up celebrity messages in their posts given information shared in the photo and in the caption. However, I was able to note that, most often, fans were engaging with celebrities by expressing admiration. This research is useful for considering how gender performance manifests on Instagram, and possible ways celebrities can utilize Instagram to queer gender norms as well as promote other messages. With regard to fan posts, I argue for continued research in ways to support fans becoming critical rather than passive consumers of celebrity culture.

▼ In modern China, although the normality of homosexuality has been officially admitted, misconception and discrimination against homosexuals are still prevalent in the mainstream of Chinese society. Chinese LGBT people endure two main sources of pressure: one is from the external and another is from the internal. From the outside, Chinese LGBT people bear the suppression made by the normality of sexual orientation and the hegemonic culture of heterosexuality, in particular heterosexual marriage. And such discrimination is still occurring now in our society. LGBT people themselves are heavily tortured by the pain and pressure of self-denial. A lot of them cannot both insist upon their rights and survive under such mental pressure, and thus choose to compromise and marry the opposite gender. Heterosexual marriage practiced by homosexuals is authorized by Chinese law, but it only has a form, or appearance of marriage. It does not have the content. It is only a paper marriage that is a tool used for some purposes. In this article, I will discuss and explore the question: how can a long-standing tradition in Chinese culture—cooperative marriage—advance the safe space, social welfare, and civic status of LGBTQ people individually in China?

▼ Due to Chinese traditions, certain living environments are not friendly towards the LGBT community in China, who experience immense pressure to keep silent in society. They often are discriminated against, and in the case of most, their families do not support them. It is difficult to have healthy self-identification for sexual minorities. Besides cultural and family pressure, and representation in media, the current legal framework and society are unfriendly to this community. There is no legislation on homosexuality in China at present, and China does not make any clear provisions on homosexual marriage.
In this environment, most LGBT people are not willing to disclose their identity or situation to other people. Some LGBTs enter fake marriages. Some in fake marriages cheat on their wives about their sexual orientation, and their wives cannot live in a regular marriage.
However, in recent years, the environment has become more flexible. Due to education and the Internet, the new generation is changing its attitude to the LGBT group, and more and more sexual minorities are trying to come out.
Based on these changing conditions, there is a potential developing market, named the pink economy, which is the economy produced by the LGBT population. As the LGBT community grows, the pink economy has emerged, offering Internet social platforms, homosexual bars, and specific travel programs for the group. The pink economy greatly enhances the visibility of the LGBT community and attempts to use the power of commerce to increase public acceptance to the LGBT people.

▼ Background: According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) (2015), LGBTI individuals delay healthcare treatment because they fear stigmatization or because they believe many healthcare professionals lack knowledge and experience working with LGBTI individuals. The phenomenon of living as a transgender person and accessing trans-related healthcare is understudied.
Aim: To explore the perceived meaning of accessing transgender-related healthcare among transgender youth.
Method: A phenomenological qualitative design grounded on Husserl’s descriptive phenomenology was used to explore the ascribed meaning associated to accessing trans-related healthcare services among transyouth as they experienced and perceived it. A purposive and thematic sample of Male-to-Female transyouth ages 21 to 24 years residing in Los Angeles California was obtained. Data was collected through digitally recorded one-on-one, face-to-face semi-structured interviews. Colaizzi’s descriptive phenomenological strategy was used to integrate significant statements into principal themes.
Findings: Three major themes were identified: Transitioning, Self-Fulfillment, and Trans Community Solidarity. Transitioning was of utmost importance to the participants as it allowed them to live full and authentic lives, and trans community solidarity was important in mitigating the stigma faced by transyouth. Transitioning not only helped in aligning the participants’ gender identities and physical bodies, but also in allowing others to see and interact with the participants in the ways that were consistent with how the participants saw themselves. Having access to trans-related healthcare assisted all participants to be happy and comfortable in their female self. Accessing trans-related healthcare facilitated integration into the closely-knit trans community that served as a support system for the participants due to their shared experiences.
Conclusion: This study suggests that developing a trans person’s sense of belonging to the trans community can be enhanced by helping them develop their transgender identity. This in turn potentially has the ability to improve mental health and thus quality of life for trans individuals. Implication: It is imperative that healthcare professionals and policy-makers recognize the significance and impact of transitioning and ensure timely and efficient access to trans-related healthcare resources for trans individuals.

▼ I argue that the emotion of disgust has played a critical role in the history of LGBTQ politics in America and continues to do so today as an important and underappreciated source of continued opposition to LGBTQ people and issues. Using American National Election
Studies data, I show that contact with gays and lesbians, long thought to be the primary determinant of support for LGBTQ policy issues, is not as influential or far-reaching as once thought. Then, using experiments, I illustrate the connection of disgust to contemporary opinions toward LGBTQ people and issues. I demonstrate that, for both Democrats and Republicans, the mere mention of LGBTQ policy issues triggers disgust, and that these disgust reactions lead to declines in support for LGBTQ policies. I also show that there are significantly different emotional and political responses to different subgroups of the LGBTQ community, namely that disgust reactions are significantly higher toward
transgender people than toward gays and lesbians. I also show that the influence of disgust is significant even when controlling for contact with LGBTQ people, and more influential on policy support than the impact of contact itself.
Overall, the implications of the project suggest that people who continue to feel disgust, even after (or perhaps because of) the attainment of legal marriage equality, may be much more difficult to persuade – in sharp contrast to the conventional wisdom that public opinion toward LGBTQ people will continue its rapid progress. In short, for LGBTQ politics, the influence of disgust means a very different and more difficult future than both activists and scholars currently imagine. At the same time, understanding how disgust affects beliefs and behaviors can help guide future efforts in understanding public opinion on LGBTQ issues, and can help advocates calibrate their strategies more effectively. The findings suggest that continued success for the LGBTQ movement – and any other movement that confronts disgust – will require the understanding that disgust influences many beliefs and opinions, even among presumed supporters, and that new strategies based on engaging this difficult emotion will be vital.

▼ This work operates at the intersection of academics, art, and activism. Within queer
studies there is a tension between assimilation and liberation, sometimes situated as between pragmatism and utopia. This work re-examines Frankfurt school Marxist views of utopia through a queer theoretical lens in order to employ the radical imagination and queer futurity to examine new ways of practicing liberation. Drawing from theorists like Judith Butler, Jose Esteban Munoz, and Gloria Anzaldua, this work uses art (film, writing, zine-making, and sound) as a way to envision and enact a better world situated in the present.

▼ In <i>The Materialism of the Encounter</i> I argue for the critical importance of queer sociality as a confrontation with global capital in which sexualities emerge as a material history necessary for rethinking the broader experiences of twentieth century modernity. To do so, I draw together a series of transnational texts – Henry James's nonfiction travel narrative <i>The American Scene</i>, Djuna Barnes's canonical <i>Nightwood</i>, and two neglected novels, Charles Henri Ford and Parker Tyler's <i>The Young and Evil</i> and Claude McKay's unpublished <i>Romance in Marseilles</i> – that exhibit a mode of sociality and literary practice I am calling the "encounter." While the specific parameters of the encounter differ from author to author, there remains a shared desire to negotiate sexuality as material history, a negotiation deeply interwoven with other, fractious modes of social difference and the larger differentiation under capital itself. In reading these texts as materialist, I detail the ways concentrated industrial production and the sites of commodity exchange are a necessary part of the history of sexuality, tracing queer encounters through the shared spaces of international capital, the port of Marseilles, the bars and cafés of Paris or Berlin, and the streets and parks of New York, that fostered queer self-cultivation. These sites, while enmeshed in the larger dynamics of capital, nonetheless emerge as critical zones of social and sexual understandings. In my readings, I demonstrate how the texts collected here counterpoise these material, heterogeneous dimensions of sexual life to the larger abstraction of capital, and specifically to the abstraction of desire from material, social practices.
Furthermore, I show how the critical power of this materialism is transformed into a range of modernist literary practices – primarily collage – that become a method not only for confronting the contradictions within capital but for negotiating the myriad social differences of modern life. The literary work, I argue, becomes a manner of cultivating a mode of queer sociality modeled by the formal practices of the text itself, where a criticality emerges through the juxtaposition of disparate elements of material life whose aim is a broader understanding of capital and the economies of desire. In so doing, the queer comportment of these texts works against the reifying tendency inherent in commodity exchange and sexual definition, instead exposing the variety of social and sexual dynamics always already present within capital. I describe such a dynamic as the materialism of the encounter, and emphasis its critical nature in James's interest in sites of male-male cruising, Barnes's negotiation of gender, sexuality, and history, Ford and Tyler's focus on the close proximity of violence, capital, and sexual definition, and McKay's productive and destructive clashes of race, class, gender, and international revolutionary politics. This tension between the formal modernist experimentations of…
