▼ Struggles with sexuality vary from person to person depending on their unique circumstances and experiences, but those who are attracted to people of the same sex, arguably experience greater struggles. These struggles are most visible in the coming-out experiences of people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI). Literature especially in the African religious and cultural contexts portrays gay men as victims of discrimination, homophobia and violent crimes. This study aimed to understand the experiences of Zulu gay men in this regard. What were their experiences of discrimination and marginalisation from religion and culture in the process of coming out was an underlying question. The participants of the study were purposefully selected initially and thereafter through a snowballing technique. Phenomenological interviews as well as a focus group discussion were held in private settings. The data was produced and analysed through the lenses of Gender Performativity, Queer theory and Queer Theology.
While the experiences of the participants confirmed the literature in the field regarding the struggles and complexities of the coming-out process faced by gay men, the remarkable agency shown by this group of men also shone through, thereby demonstrating the importance of resilient and taking ownership in creating a conducive and supportive environment for each other. This study showed the power of such resilience and agency in the face of religious and cultural discrimination. Despite the challenges faced by Zulu gay men, participants from the research affirm that negotiating the boundaries of their Christian and cultural identity and their sexuality is possible by re-conceptualizing their sexuality within a religious and cultural context that emphasizes the concepts of love and compassion as characteristics associated with God. Spiritual fulfilment and a relationship with God and the ancestors become more important than adhering to congregational doctrine, conservative biblical interpretation and other rules which exclude homosexuals. Zulu gay men are reclaiming space and visibility by not divorcing their Christian faith and their cultural beliefs but rather they continue to find their own meaningful contribution by reconciling both their religious and cultural beliefs with their
sexual identity.

▼ The majority of research investigations into the meaning and implications of the
lesbian label within the sport context have primarily focused on coaches, athletes, and
physical education teachers. Generally overlooked, however, has been the area of
college and university health and kinesiology academia (i.e., sport-related curricula).
The purpose of this study was to extend this line of inquiry to this setting within the
context of sport. By doing so, investigating the lesbian label, as well as seeking to
identify its presence, impact, and potential consequences as they relate to health and
kinesiology department members, may contribute to the understanding of why a lesbian
stigma persists within the multifaceted context of sport. Further, an additional purpose
of this inquiry was to identify whether the use of identity management strategies, and
their potential negative consequences, were used in relation to the lesbian label.
The lesbian label was investigated through the voices of health and kinesiology
department academicians. Through their words it was communicated that not only was
the lesbian label and an associated stigma present within their respective departments,
but the meaning of lesbianism within sport-related curricula was somewhat reminiscent of the meaning in other sport contexts. Thus, to some extent, the lesbian stigma can be
extrapolated from sport to sport-related curricula. While complex, the meaning of
lesbianism was intertwined with gender norms, religious beliefs, politics, personal
beliefs, interpersonal relationships, societal assumptions, perceptions of powerlessness,
and a necessity for self-protection. This was predominantly the case related to a female
faculty members? possession of certain physical characteristics, her physical presentation
and attire, relationship status, and proximity to departmental physical activity courses
that are regarded as more masculine (e.g., weight training, racquetball, basketball, etc.),
in particular. Finally, whether merely acknowledged as being present or advocating for
change with regard to perceptions of inequality and injustice, cognitive and emotional
resources were allocated to this issue in a variety of ways. Implications of this
exploration and its findings are presented and further inquiry encouraged.

The Relationship Between Sexual Orientation Identity and Specific Health Behaviors.

▼ The American Counseling Association's Code of Ethics states that counselors and
counselor trainees must be competent providers of multicultural counseling, able to practice
effectively with clients whose identities differ from their own. Counseling students and trainees
receive very little training around
sexual orientation and how to work with clients who identify
as members of a
sexual minority group (i.e., LGB; lesbian, gay or bisexual). Counselors,
counselor educators and pre-service counselors are also asked to seek out current, relevant
research to provide a basis for the interventions and treatment offered to clients.
Recent literature in public health has identified health disparities among individuals who
identify as, or are identified as,
sexual minorities. Higher rates of psychiatric disorders, substance
use, heart disease, tobacco use, and obesity have been found in LGB samples as compared to
heterosexual samples. However, existing articles are limited by: (a) sampling issues, including
small sample sizes, (b) an overall lack of racial and ethnic diversity, and (c) the conflation of
sexual behavior with identity. Additionally, counselors and counselor educators have not
researched these differences in health behaviors and conditions.
In the current study, the prevalence of harmful or potentially hazardous alcohol use and
drug use among patients who self-identified as gay, lesbian, bisexual and heterosexual was
compared in a diverse sample of patients visiting New York City STD clinics. Levels of alcohol
and drug use were compared by
sexual orientation identity using nonparametric analyses. Results
showed that patients who identified as LGB reported higher rates of potentially harmful drug and
alcohol use than patients who identified as heterosexual.
Next, data collected from patients visiting New York City STD clinics for a physician
visit were examined using binary logistic regression analyses. The aim of this study was to
determine whether a relationship exists between
sexual orientation identity and likelihood of
diagnosis with a sexually transmitted infection (STI). In addition, known demographic and
behavioral predictor variables were included in this regression analysis as covariates (i.e., race,
ethnicity, age, gender identity, alcohol use, drug use, same-sex
sexual behavior). Results showed
that a relationship does exist between
sexual orientation identity and likelihood of STI diagnosis,
such that identifying as LGB increases an individual's odds of receiving a STI diagnosis. This
predictor variable was found to increase the likelihood of diagnosis along with covariates
including Black/African American racial identity, Hispanic ethnicity, same-sex
sexual behavior,
and drug use. Covariates that decreased the odds of STI diagnosis included female gender
identity, transgender identity, and older age.
The primary implication that emerged from the aforementioned research was that
individuals who identify as
sexual minorities (i.e., as LGB) have different relationships…

▼ Recent literature in person perception suggests that sexual orientation and other perceptually-ambiguous group memberships could be discerned from faces with accuracy exceeding chance levels. No study to date has explored the question of how people acquire mental representations of sexual orientation, however. In Study 1, I show that the perception of sexual orientation is distinct from that of obvious group memberships. Then, I show that people can learn prototypical representations of sexual orientation to increase their sensitivity to artificially-generated stimuli (Study 2) and to actual faces (Study 3). Last, I demonstrate that this improvement is a product of participants’ attunement to the patterns of facial features in the prototypes of the two categories. Together, the results demonstrate that people can learn mental representations of sexual orientation through exposure to environmentally relevant stimuli. Furthermore, the studies provide insights about how the mind learns social categories more generally.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between language use and attitudes related to
sexual orientation. Significant research has demonstrated that the use of microaggressions (slurs, snubs, or insults used to communicate hostility) towards targeted minorities carries detrimental consequences on a societal and individual level. While racially charged and gendered microaggressions have been investigated, a gap exists regarding
sexual orientation microaggressions; more specifically, the word “Queer”. Participants were asked to answer questions related to the use of “Queer” along with several measures of related constructs. Results indicate differences between homosexuals and heterosexuals in the use of “Queer” in terms of dynamic language, honesty, frequency and power. Explicit attitudes, religious fundamentalism, social dominance
orientation, and conservatism emerged as predictors of the use of “Queer”. Findings provide insightful evidence to how language is used to perpetuate social norms related to
sexual orientation that can be applied in a variety of settings to foster safer environments for the targeted group.

▼ Our current society assumes that
sexual attraction or
desire is natural and experienced by all human beings; however,
asexuality is beginning to challenge this assumption. The purpose
of this Master’s thesis is to gain a better understanding of
asexual identity through interviews regarding experience and
importance of asexuality with 10 self-identified asexual
individuals. Six themes emerged from the interviews: discovery of
asexuality, importance of asexuality to the lived experience,
identity labels, definitions of asexuality, lack of education on
asexuality, and libido and the various types of attraction. Many of
the issues discussed in the 6 themes related back to the lack of
education regarding asexuality in society. Asexuality is still a
relatively unknown
sexual orientation. In addition, the ongoing
debate over the definition of both asexuality and now
sexual
attraction reinforces the view of asexuality as an insecure
sexual
orientation. Finally, the conflation of all types of attraction
into
sexual attraction reduces awareness of the different
attractions and relationship possibilities for individuals.;

▼ Keeping any secret is difficult, but hiding one's
sexual orientation from important others is a unique form of secret keeping in that it is motivated by fears of being negatively stereotyped, rejected by loved ones, excluded, and discriminated against. The present research tested the hypothesis that concealing one's
sexual orientation represents a unique layer of minority stress which is characterized by hypervigilance, paranoid social cognition, and anxiety. Two studies examined the consequences associated with acute and chronic concealment of
sexual orientation. In Study 1, the acute effects of concealment were examined utilizing an imagined interaction paradigm in which participants vividly imagined, and talked through, real life interactions with important people in their lives. Following each imagined interaction, participants completed a set of cognitive, emotional, psychological, and physical measures. Imagining an interaction with a person who is aware of one's
sexual orientation and by whom one has received a rejecting response produced increased state anxiety, decreased positive affect, increased negative affect, and increased time needed to accurately assess others' emotional expressions. Additionally, imagining an interaction with a person from whom one must conceal one's
sexual orientation produced negative emotional effects that were equal to, or greater than, imagining an interaction with somebody who is not accepting of one's
sexual orientation. In Study 2, a 30-day online diary study examined the cumulative impact of concealment on the cognitive, emotional, psychological, and physical health of gay and lesbian people. Every 3 days participants completed a series of measures which included questions about whether they had concealed their
sexual orientation in the previous 3 days. Participants who reported concealing their
sexual orientation at some point over the course of the 30 days reported more state anxiety, more negative affect, less positive affect, more physical, cognitive, and emotional burnout, and a greater number of physical symptoms, than participants who did not conceal their
sexual orientation during those 30 days. Among those who concealed, they were worse off emotionally and physically during the periods in which they concealed, as compared with the periods in which they did not conceal. Combined, these two studies speak to the unique and significant costs associated with concealment of
sexual orientation.

▼ Historically, theorists have conceptualized
sexual orientation as a single, unified construct. More recently,
various authors and researchers have begun to consider whether
attraction could be conceptualized as consisting of multiple
aspects. For the purposes of the present study, two measures were
developed to assess these various components, which were
conceptualized as physical
sexual attraction, cognitive
sexual
attraction, and romantic/relationship attraction. The components of
sexual orientation, attraction to women scale (the CSW) was
designed to assess these components for participants’ attraction to
women and the components of
sexual orientation, attraction to men
scale (the CSM) was designed to assess these for attraction to men.
Incongruence in attraction to women (INC-women) and incongruence in
attraction to men (INC-men), as well as overall incongruence
(INC-overall), was calculated by summing the differences among
various components. Participants were also asked about same-sex
sexual behaviors (SSSB),
sexual orientation identity, and attitudes
towards lesbians and gays. It was hypothesized
that greater component incongruence would be associated with lower
psychological well being. This was not largely supported in the
present sample. It was also hypothesized that women,
non-heterosexually identifying participants, and participants
reporting SSSB would be higher on overall incongruence. This was
supported for non-heterosexually identified participants, and a
number of significant interactions among gender,
sexual orientation
label, and SSSB are noted for INC-overall as well as INC-men and
INC-women. Additionally, it was found that same-sex attraction and
orientation was more strongly associated with SSSB for men than it
was for women and that participants who reported having engaged in
SSSB were more positive in their attitudes towards gays and
lesbians. Finally, a number of comparisons are made between the
current dataset and a prior data set regarding SSSB for men and
women. Implications and interpretations of the findings are
discussed.

▼ Sexual behavior is a dynamic aspect of human life that
is influenced by experience, awareness, ideas, beliefs, culture and
society. Many different explanations are used to explain the desire
to engage in sexual behaviors that are considered to be
non-conventional or non-normative. This study explored the
relationship between sexual experience, sexual awareness and sexual
attitudes. Reponses on measures of Sexual Awareness, Sexual
Experience, Attitudes Towards Unconventional Sexuality, and Sexual
Orientation were compared between samples of swingers, individuals
who identify as LGBT and students. The results supported the
hypothesis for a relationship between sexual experiences, sexual
awareness, and sexual attitudes. Swingers scored consistently and
significantly higher than the LGBT group and the students, while
the LGBT group scored consistently between the swingers and
students. It is unlikely that demographic differences could account
sufficiently for the results of this study.

▼ This paper examines four of the most widely known homosexual identity development models, as well as some of the literature that explores sexual identity as a fluid process. The suggestion is made that sexual identity can be created and recreated based on current individual feelings and experiences rather than by forcing identity to fit into already existing socially constructed categories. Personal Construct Psychology (PCP) is introduced as a theory that can be used to transform sexual identities over a lifetime. A Sexual Identity Cycle is presented using several PCP transitional construing concepts.

▼ Research indicates that
sexual orientation is discussed far less often in clinical supervision compared to other cultural variables including race/ethnicity and gender. Though authors have speculated why this is the case, including a lack of supervisor competence and training, quantitative, empirical research has not been conducted to test these speculations. The current study was designed to investigate the role of competence and relevant demographic predictors in supervisors' initiation of discussion related to
sexual orientation in clinical supervision. Persons who have graduate clinical or counseling psychology training and currently perform clinical supervision or who have done so within the past two years were eligible for study participation. Participants were recruited via email to complete several measures including two researcher-designed items assessing whether or not
sexual orientation is a topic they discuss in supervision and the frequency of their discussion, four competence assessments, and a demographic questionnaire. Sequential logistic regression analyses and a discriminant function analysis were used to analyze the results. Study findings indicated that supervision experience,
sexual orientation competence, and professional experience with lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) issues were related to whether or not supervisors initiate conversation around
sexual orientation and the frequency with which they do so.

▼ Marked differences have been found in men’s and women’s sexual response patterns, contingent upon their sexual orientation; opposite- and same-gender attracted men demonstrate greatest genital and self-reported arousal to their preferred stimulus type, whereas other-gender attracted women do not, and findings of same-gender attracted women have been mixed (e.g., Chivers, Seto & Blanchard, 2007; Chivers, Bouchard, Timmers, & Haberl, 2012). Given the complex nature of sexual stimuli that are used in research paradigms involving category-specificity of sexual arousal, however, it is often unclear to what extent contextual cues (cues other than the sexual actor’s sex characteristics; body movement, level of sexual activity, etc.) influence participants’ sexual response patterns. As such, the current study attempted to parse contextual cues from sexual stimuli and examined genital, self-reported, and continuous self-reported responses of same- and other-gender attracted men and women to prepotent sexual features (stimuli believed to elicit automatic sexual arousal: erect penises and vasoengorged vulvas), nonprepotent sexual features (flaccid penises and pubic triangles) and neutral stimuli (clothed men and women). All samples were found to exhibit a category-specific pattern of genital, self-reported, and continuous self-reported sexual arousal. Similarly, genital, self-reported, and continuous self-reported arousal was generally found to be greatest to “prepotent” sexual conditions. Limitations and implications are discussed.

SEXUAL ORIENTATION VICTIMIZATION, MINORITY STRESS,

Degree: PhD, Human Development and Family Studies, 2009, Penn State University

▼ Many lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) adolescents
experience frequent verbal and physical victimization due to their
sexual orientation, which has been associated with mental health
and behavioral problems. In order to explain the mechanisms by
which victimization affects mental health, Meyer (2003b) theorized
that sexual orientation victimization increased more proximal
indicators of stress related to sexual orientation, or minority
stress, such as fears of being discovered to be LGB and
internalized homophobia. These were hypothesized to increase mental
health and behavioral problems with further consideration being
given to possible mediators or moderators of this association.
Using a sample of 528 LGB youth, I tested Meyer’s theoretical
model, considering personal resources (self-esteem and mastery),
social support, LGB-specific social support, and minority identity
characteristics as possible mediators and moderators between
minority stress and mental health. Results indicated that sexual
orientation victimization predicted mental health and behavioral
problems, although this finding disappeared after controlling for
other stressful life events. Additionally, victimization predicted
minority stress which, in turn, predicted mental health problems.
Evidence was found for partial mediation between minority stress
and victimization by personal resources and moderation by social
support. Furthermore, with the exception of minority identity
characteristics, all moderator analyses indicated that
externalizing problem behaviors should be treated separately from
internalizing behaviors and other mental health symptoms when
considering the effect of minority stress on mental health. Youth
with worse contexts (i.e., less social support, fewer personal
resources) were less likely than youth with more supportive
contexts to exhibit externalizing behaviors in response to minority
stress but were equally likely to exhibit internalizing behaviors
and report increased stress. For minority identity characteristics,
no effects were found. Following a summary of the implications of
these results, I describe limitations to the current research
program and suggest ways for researchers to further examine this
theoretical model.

▼ There are many roadblocks that college students may face along their quest for a bachelor's degree, but lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) students are at a higher risk than their peers. One of the main reasons for this is the influence of the reactions from family and friends on their coming out process. A positive reaction can elicit feelings of hope and promise within students, while a negative one can take its toll emotionally and inside the classroom. In an effort to better understand the needs of LGB college students, a qualitative research study was created. Using a homogeneous and purposive sampling method, a total of ten students from two different higher education institutions were asked to share their coming out experiences. These interviews were conducted in quiet, private locations and all students' responses were carefully guarded, in an effort to make sure the process was as confidential as possible. There were a variety of themes across many of the interviews that appeared to be important in aiding the understanding of the influences parent and peer reactions have on the LGB college population. Although there were seven themes in total, two major ones stood out amongst the rest. Those were the impact of stress and academic performance. Nearly every student interviewed brought up some fact of stress pertaining to either his or her coming out process or the fact they were still in the closet. Thankfully, when it came to academic performance, most of the students were extremely resilient and were able to succeed in their classes, regardless of the reactions they received. Overall, the study was helpful in getting a much-needed perspective into the experiences and potential needs of LGB college students. It is important to note that this is only one qualitative study of ten students and further research needs to be conducted in order to gain a deeper understanding.

▼ Although there are population-based studies that find that sexual minorities are at increased risk for psychological distress and mental health disorders compared to heterosexuals, there have been few studies examining the way sexual minorities utilize mental health services within the U.S. health care system. With the reversal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in 2013 and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), sexual minorities will have unprecedented access to health insurance coverage. The impact of this expanded coverage on mental health service utilization and cost is not known. This dissertation examines sexual minority mental health service utilization over three studies and two data sets. The first two studies examined sexual minority mental health service utilization using two different national data sets over several years: the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) from 2001-2010 and the Medical Expenditure Panel Surveys (MEPS) from 1996-2010. The third study used the MEPS to examine differences in out-of-pocket and total expenditures between individuals in same-sex couples compared to individuals in different-sex couples. This research found that sexual minorities were more likely to use mental health services compared to heterosexuals. In particular, sexual minorities were found to be primarily accessing this care in office-based visits and through psychopharmaceutical prescriptions. Despite this increase in access, sexual minorities were not more likely to receive minimally adequate care after initiating mental health services compared to heterosexuals. This increased utilization of care did translate into increased out-of-pocket mental health care expenditures and total mental health care expenditures for individuals in same-sex couples as compared to individuals in different-sex couples. This dissertation found that sexual minorities are accessing and using mental health services differently than heterosexuals. With the enactment of PPACA and the reversal of DOMA, sexual minorities should have unprecedented access to mental health services. Due to the limited research in this area, it remains unclear if there will be enough access to culturally competent mental health providers and how this access will impact overall access to already-scarce mental health services. Sexual minority and health policy researchers will need to seek novel data sets to examine the impact of this increased utilization on both mental health outcomes as well as health care expenditures.

▼ The following chapters present an examination of the causes and effects of labor market discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.The first chapter examines customer-based discrimination, which occurs when prejudice leads individuals to prefer commercial interactions with certain groups of workers to others. Under customer-based discrimination, otherwise identical employees across different classes of workers are not perfect substitutes, as race, gender or sexual orientation becomes a component of workplace productivity. This is the first paper to identify customer discrimination against gay and lesbian workers. I exploit geographic variation in attitudes towards homosexuality to see if occupational sorting choices vary amongst gay workers in less prejudiced parts of the country versus more prejudiced parts of the country. To this end, I construct a novel state-level index of attitudes towards homosexuality using individual survey responses to questions about taste. Multiple specifications provide evidence that gay men sort away from customer service jobs in areas of the country with strong levels of distaste for homosexuality. I do not, however, find evidence that this occupational sorting exists amongst lesbian women.The second chapter explores whether firms that partake in taste-based discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation will face a profit penalty, consistent with the Becker model of discrimination. Prior research on discrimination against gay workers has established other aspects of the Becker model, however, the profit penalty is less established in the literature. This paper improves upon existing estimates of the relationship between profits and discriminatory policies by introducing fixed effects to isolate the effect of changes in corporate policy. Additionally, this paper introduces discrete levels of discrimination as explanatory variables to assist in framing the identified effect in the context of the Becker model. Under multiple specifications, evidence of a relationship between CEI score and profit rate is detected robust to the inclusion of firm fixed effects. These estimates suggest profit rates are improved when firms move from high levels of discrimination to low levels. Consistent with the Becker model, there appears to be no profit increase when low-discriminating firms further advance non-discriminatory policies.

▼ This qualitative study explores the "coming out" experience of gay males raised in conservative Christian environments. Seven men with varying ethnic and racial backgrounds, between the ages of 20 and 40 years old, participated. Each was raised in a conservative, Christian environment during his formative years and each was now living as an "out" gay man. The study utilized a phenomenological methodology, which seeks to understand the core essence of the "coming out" phenomenon itself. Each participant was interviewed twice, for a total of at least 90 minutes. These interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and then underwent four separate levels of analysis. A composite chapter is included which discusses how these analyses were utilized in determining the textures, structures and ultimately, the essential essences of the phenomenon which each man experienced and a concluding chapter includes strengths and limitations of the study as well as suggestions and implications for future research. This study highlights the literature relevant to contemporary LGBT issues, demonstrates the ongoing need for enhanced counselor training to properly meet the unique needs of lesbian and gay clients and includes recommendations for clinicians currently in practice as well as for clergy.

▼ "Coming out" is a unique experience for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and other
sexual minority individuals (LGB+), yet it remains ill-defined within scholarship and is individually focused. This study investigates how same-gender couples negotiate relationship visibility and what motivates them to come out to others. A queer theoretical framework was used to explore how partners do outness. To address the needs of the literature, constructivist grounded theory methods were employed in analyzing the data. These findings showed that the majority of couples believed they had a "mutual understanding" of the rules and boundaries in place for relational visibility. In addition, the ways in which different individuals felt compelled to come out or stay in was impacted by their connection to the historical context of the Gay Rights movement. Clinical implications to help clinicians between in assessment and conceptualization in their work with members of the population were determined.

▼ The American Counseling Association recently adopted standards of competency for counselors working with lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) clients (Logan & Barret, 2005). Concurrently, the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) revised standards to require social and cultural diversity competencies, including LGB counseling competency, to be interwoven throughout counselor education curriculum (CACREP, 2009). Yet the ways that counselor educators are including these initiatives are unknown. Additionally, the factors that improve counselor competency with LGB clients are also unknown. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to examine counselorsâ self-perceived competency when counseling lesbian, gay, and bisexual clients and identify variables that are related to and predictive of LGB counseling competence. The quantitative study included 479 members of a southeastern stateâ s professional counseling association including school counselors, community-based counselors, counselor educators, and counseling students. The assessment included an Information Questionnaire to collect data regarding personal and professional background, a Religiosity Index (Lippman et al., 2005; Statistics Canada, 2006), Spiritual Transcendence Index â Modified (adapted from Seidlitz et al., 2002), the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale - Short Form C (Reynolds, 1982), and the
Sexual Orientation Counselor Competency Scale (Bidell, 2005). Among results, counselors felt least competent in their skills with LGB clients, compared to knowledge and attitudes subscales. An ANOVA revealed that counselor educators perceived themselves as significantly more LGB-competent than counselors in other practice settings did. School counselors also reported significantly lower levels of LGB counseling competence than community counselors. Multiple regression analysis revealed that religiosity inversely predicted LGB competence whereas spirituality had a positive predictive relationship with LGB competence. Finally, there was a marked deficit in training experiences involving LGB issues for counselors in the sample.
Implications of the findings suggest a need to increase experiential components of counselor training to strengthen counselorsâ skills with LGB clients, as well as improve the self-efficacy of school counselors in their work with LGB students. A unique finding to the study involved counselor spirituality as a positive predictor of LGB competence, perhaps indicating higher levels of compassion and connectedness to others despite differences; future studies should investigate this relationship further.

▼ This study investigates the relation between sex, sexual orientation, sex drive and partner preferences from an evolutionary perspective. The data were gathered using an online cross sectional survey in the Dutch and English language amongst 800 respondents. The results for heterosexuals are largely in line with existing knowledge in evolutionary psychology and are enriched with results for bisexuals and homosexuals. For heterosexuals previous findings were reconfirmed in that heterosexual men preferred partner characteristics indicating good fertility and that heterosexual women preferred resource related characteristics indicating better parenting prospects. Along the Kinsey spectrum from exclusively heterosexual to exclusively homosexual these evolutionary differences between men and women were not always present. For women sexual orientation has no significant effect on partner preferences. For men however, the importance of the partner characteristics evolutionary preferred by men decreases and the importance of the partner characteristics evolutionary preferred by women increases. Also, it was hypothesized that the relation between sexual orientation and partner preferences might be mediated by an increasing intrinsic drive to procreate along the spectrum, based on evolutionary theories (Zietsch, et al., 2008). To measure the intrinsic sex drive, the sex drive questionnaire of Waterink (2011) has been translated into English and validated by comparison of the results to the Dutch results. The intrinsic sex drive does not increase significantly across the sexual orientation spectrum, nor does it mediate the relation between sexual orientation and partner preferences. The intrinsic sex drive does mediate the relation between a person’s sex and the perceived importance of the partner characteristic indicating fertility. The intrinsic sex drive is on average higher for men than for women and it is highest for bisexuals, both for men and women.

▼ This paper examines the history, culture, and policies in Vietnam as fundamentals for an analysis on one of the most emerging topics in the modern Vietnamese society: the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community. I have collected data from opinions and comments on different means of social media as representation of public opinion toward LGBT, which seem to most expressed in three aspects: lack of knowledge, stereotype, and prejudice; the categorization and labeling as Third World; and advocacy for LGBT equality. With the quite strict tradition and high stress on family ties, the challenge for the members of this community to advocate for their rights is quite high. Even though it is not easy to transform people's minds and change moral values, recent changes on positive side in this discourse allow us to hope for the best.

▼ Gender stereotyping of sport has a profound impact on sport activity selection. Men and women alike are found to restrict participation to activities that are societally deemed to be gender appropriate. Despite pressure to engage in to masculine-typed sport, and the societal rewards of doing so, research shows that gay men are underrepresented in masculine-typed, team sports. Instead, some gay men seek alternative, sexual minority-specific sport environments. The current research proposes that gay men may also be more likely than heterosexual men to participate in feminine-typed sport and suggests that gender atypicality and/or sense of belonging may be factors that help to explain this gender-typed sport selection.
Drawing on theories of gender atypicality and the minority stress model, the current study tests the relationship between sexual orientation and gender-typed sport participation using nationally representative sample of gay and straight men. Contrary to expectations, sexual minority status was negatively and significantly associated with feminine-typed sport participation and sense of belonging was not a significant mediator of the association of interest. However, as hypothesized, to the extent that gay men did participate in feminine-typed sport, gender atypicality was found to be an explanatory factor. Findings of this study bridge, challenge, and build upon the bodies of literature focused on sexual orientation and gender atypicality, the experiences of sexual minorities in sport, and the gendered nature of sport.

▼ Bullying in schools has significant negative implications for the academic, social, and emotional wellbeing of all students involved. Students who identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB), or who are perceived to behave in gender non-conforming ways, are at greater risk of being bullied than their heterosexual or gender conforming peers. In an effort to reduce instances of general bullying in school, recent research has focused on altering the behavior of student bystanders to encourage them to take action in support of victims (e.g., get a teacher, etc.). Bystander potential behaviors include assisting or reinforcing the bully, remaining an outsider, or defending the victim. Despite empirical support for the influence bystander behavior can have during school bullying, information about bystander behavior during bias-based bullying remains limited. Using thematic narrative analysis, this research reviewed high school bystanders’ experiences with bias-based bullying, their perceptions of bystander behavior in their school, and their social norms related to
sexual orientation and gender identity. Results suggest bystanders experience four primary types of bias-based bullying. Additionally bystanders can enact a range of responses that are motivated by internal and external factors. Normative expectations for gender split into expected roles and dress, while
sexual orientation assumptions are based on
sexual behavior and gender non-conforming behaviors. Future directions for research and practice are included from the perspective of the researcher as well as the students involved.

▼ The current study examined and attempted to converge two existing models of identity, as well as provide quantitative data that support longstanding assumptions and hypotheses regarding gay and bisexual Latino men. Using contemporary models of ethnic identity and
sexual orientation identity development as a conceptual framework, the study examined the convergence of these identities, the influence of cultural factors, and how this influences mental health, specifically depression. Participants were 276 self-identified gay or bisexual, Latino men, between the ages of 18-26 yrs old. Ninety three percent of the study’s sample (n = 257) self-identified as gay, where the other 7% (n = 19) self-identified as bisexual. Thirteen Latino ethnicities were represented in the sample, including, but not limited to, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Guatemalan, Cuban, and Ecuadorian. Participants completed a demographic form, the Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Identity Scale (Mohr & Fassinger, 2000), the Outness Inventory (Mohr & Fassinger, 2000), the Ethnic Identity Scale (Umana-Taylor, 2003), the Beck Depression Inventory-II (Beck, Steer, & Brown 1996) and a questionnaire on Managing Multiple Identities modeled after Chen’s (2005).
The results of this study indicated that gay and bisexual men do struggle with integrating the two identities, ethnicity and
sexual orientation. Cultural factors such as importance of family, religion, and homophobia, appear to contribute to endorsing symptoms of depression. Results indicated that many participants of the sample also struggled with managing the conflict they experienced through the convergence of the two identities, reporting Avoidance and Not Knowing as coping strategies for managing this conflict.
This study provides evidence that supports some of the longstanding assumptions and hypotheses and assists in shedding new light on identity development conceptualization, identity convergence, and identity management between two identities as it relates to self-identified gay and bisexual Latino men. Additionally, through examining the convergence of ethnic identity and
sexual orientation identity, this study was able to expand on the identity development literature.

▼ Identity development or formation is a complex process that varies depending upon the individual and context (Evans, et al., 2010). Although
sexual identity development certainly takes place for all individuals, individuals with minoritized
sexual identities must often face additional layers of potential barriers and complexities (both internal and external). Knowing that the collegiate experience plays a formative role in the identity development process for many students (Evans, Forney, Guido-DiBrito, Patton, & Renn, 2010), this study sought to better understand identity development in relation to
sexual orientation and spirituality/faith of LGBQ+ undergraduate students.
Utilizing intersectionality as the primary framework and queer theory as a secondary framework, this study addressed the following research questions: For students who identify as LGBQ+ and with a spiritual/faith identity: 1) What tensions, if any, do students experience between their spiritual identity and
sexual orientation? 2) In what ways do students perceive the campus environment to affect their ability to explore their
sexual orientation and spiritual identities? Drawing from phenomenological interviews and photovoice techniques with 16 undergraduate students who identify with a spiritual/faith background as well as a
sexual minoritized identity at one predominately White research institution located in a Southern metropolitan area, six key findings were identified.
Students experienced exploration of their spirituality/faith and
sexual orientation in one of three ways at the time of data collection: 1) resolution of tension, 2) exploration of tension, and/or 3) living within dissonance. Other key findings included: 4) queering spirituality and
sexual orientation, 5) finding support, and 6) universal hesitation to be fully known in all spaces. Findings from this study can be utilized to better understand the experiences of how LGBQ+ students explore both spirituality/faith and
sexual orientation in the context of college campuses. In addition, findings from this study can be helpful to higher education administrators to identify ways in which students access and utilize (or do not utilize) available campus resources in relation to identity exploration and support of multiple marginalized
sexual orientations and spirituality/faith.

▼ In this correlational study, the connection between
sexual orientation microaggressions and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been evaluated. This researcher measured the perception and impact of homonegative microaggressions, utilizing the Homonegative Microaggression Scale (Wright & Wegner, 2012), as well as the severity of posttraumatic symptoms, utilizing the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist - Civilian Version (Weathers, Litz, Huska, & Keane, 1994). The sample size of 90 lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) participants was based on a population size of eight million, with a confidence level of 95% and a confidence interval of +/- 5%. These participants were recruited through public and semi-private LGB organizations. Completion of the measures occurred through an online survey system at the convenience of the participants. The results of the study revealed a positive correlation between reported posttraumatic symptoms and microaggressive experiences and between posttraumatic symptoms and their perceived impact on participants. Additionally, a statistically significant difference between LGB and heterosexual participants' experiences of microaggressions was seen, as well as a statistically significant difference in reported posttraumatic symptoms related to homonegative experiences. The findings suggested that there may be a link between homonegative microaggressions and traumatic stress symptoms, which may demonstrate the potential for insidious trauma to be a factor in LGB minority stress.

▼ Bullying is a pervasive social issue that occurs in numerous contexts and is particularly recognized in populations that are easily targeted. Individuals who identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Questioning (LGBQ) are at an increased risk of victimization. Using mixed methodology involving 40 participants (N= 20) LGBQ and (N = 20) non-LGBQ and 10 subsequent in-depth interviews, this study examined prevalence rates of (cyber)bullying on the basis of sexual orientation. Results indicate a high frequency of direct and indirect bullying of LGBQ as compared to non-LGBQ youth. Ten interviews revealed themes that precipitate victimization such as the lack of understanding of LGBQ issues, educational shortfalls, societal and stereotypical beliefs. Results highlight the importance and need of formal and informal support (i.e. peer and online support).

▼ “Outness” about
sexual orientation is colloquially understood to refer to the extent to which others know about one’s
sexual orientation. However, conceptualizations of outness vary widely in research (Orne, 2011). Existing measures of outness, including the Outness Inventory (OI; Mohr & Fassinger, 2000) and the Nebraska Outness Scale (NOS; Meidlinger & Hope, 2014), may have limitations that affect their utility. The purpose of the present study was to investigate how participants conceptualized outness about
sexual orientation and whether they believed it can be measured and to explore how well the OI and the NOS aligned with those conceptualizations. Participants were 170 women and men recruited via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. Nonheterosexual participants were oversampled; 122 participants identified as nonheterosexual, and 48 identified as heterosexual. I used thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006) to identify themes in the qualitative data. I identified several different ways in which different participants conceptualized outness, as well as identified several concerns about the OI and the NOS. I investigated patterns in the relationships among participants’ self-estimated outness scores, OI scores, and NOS scores. I also investigated heterosexual participants’ responses to the same survey. Nonheterosexual participants described varying conceptualizations of outness. Most mentioned making decisions about disclosing or concealing their
sexual orientation and assessing their own outness based on who in particular knew about their
sexual orientation. Nonheterosexual participants also mentioned several concerns about the OI and the NOS, including that the scales overemphasized talking about
sexual orientation and that the scales either included irrelevant social groups or did not include relevant social groups. Heterosexual participants mentioned many of the same themes that nonheterosexual participants did; however, many also stated or implied that outness is not relevant to heterosexual individuals because their
sexual orientation is almost always correctly assumed. Researchers have investigated relationships between outness and numerous other variables (e.g., physical health variables, relationship satisfaction, internalized homonegativity). However, different people conceptualize outness differently, and some conceptualize outness as nonlinear or as fluid. Simply quantifying outness may not be sufficient for describing the experiences of nonheterosexual individuals.

▼ College is a significant stage that heavily contributes to who and what citizens become after degree attainment. During career development, college students’ interests develop through taking part in coursework and employment based occupational exploration. It has been speculated that because
sexual identity development and vocational identity development are active during the same phase of life, these processes might exert influence on each other (Chen, Stacuzzi, Ruckdeschel, 2004; Fassinger, 1996; Morrow, 1997). With the changing socioeconomic climate over the past decade, individuals of varying
sexual orientation identities have found it necessary or desirable to be more open regarding their identity in their career. Currently, a lack of research exists that examines LGBQ+ students’ career development (Datti, 2009; Degges-White & Shoffner, 2002; Chung, 1995; Morrow, 1997; Schneider & Dimito, 2010).
The purpose of this research study was to examine the career development of LGBQ+ students. Through a qualitative, phenomenological approach utilizing nine participants, the researcher examined how a LGBQ+
sexual orientation impacts a student’s career development. Four themes emerged from the study: the participant coming out process, awareness of intersectionality of identities, navigating their career as an LGBQ+ individual, identifying potential employers, and the role of career counselors. Recommendations are shared to further support LGBQ+ individuals in their career development. As a result of this study, leaders in post-secondary education as well as policymakers are able to gain insight into the career development of this population.
