Abstract:

Defining and describing health has traditionally been the role of medical experts. Although a rich literature has recently established the importance of lay accounts of health, one important gap relates to gay men’s accounts of health. Data from 11 focus groups involving 45 gay men were thematically analyzed to investigate gay men’s views of health. Two contrasting positions on a possible relationship between sexuality and health—there is no link or there is a definite link—were identified. In addition, five key ways gay men talked about health were identified: health is the absence of disease, is functional ability, is fitness and exercise, is psychological, and is multifaceted. Although there are similarities in the ways gay and other men talk about health, important differences exist, which suggest that issues of sexuality need to be considered by health policy and service planners so that responsive health services can be provided.

Abstract:

The argument that children require role models of both sexes is a central theme in opposition to lesbian parenting. Challenges to this opposition have emphasised the ways in which children in lesbian families are compensated for the alleged deficit of a father. In this paper I provide an antidote to gender normalising discussions of male role models by exploring critical accounts of ‘gays as role models’. The first half of the paper examines the deployment of traditional, liberal and critical discourse on male role models in relation to lesbian families. The second half provides a discourse analysis of excerpts from an interview with a lesbian couple raising three children, examining tensions in claiming gay men as positive role models for children in a lesbian family. I conclude by considering the costs and benefits of liberal and critical responses to claims about the necessity of male role models.

Full text

Abstract:

Objectives: To determine any differences in HIV-risk and drug-use behaviour among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander gay men and other gay men in Australia. Methods: The Gay Community Periodic Survey is a repeated cross-sectional prevalence study of the sexual and drug use behaviours of Australian gay men conducted since 1996. Responses from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) gay men were compared with those from non-ATSI gay men for the years 2000–2004. Results: Of 34 708 responses collected in major Australian cities over a 6-year period, 1208 identified as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. There was little difference between ATSI and non-ATSI men in the reported prevalence of HIV, though ATSI gay men were more likely than non-ATSI gay men to engage in unprotected anal intercourse with casual partners and to inject illicit drugs but were more likely to have been recently tested for HIV. Conclusions: These ATSI gay men were at increased risk of HIV and other blood-borne viruses, though this may be due to differences in socio-economic status as much as cultural background. These findings indicate the continued need for targeted sexual and injecting-drug-use health interventions among this population.

Abstract:

Objective: The prevalence of mental and sexual health problems is high among gay men. They often co exist and do so amongst a certain subgroup of gay men. What kind of mental and sexual health problems are so prevalent? Do mental and sexual health issues interrelate and if so, in what way? Can we define gay men ‘at risk’ for developing sexual and mental problems? How to address the specific health care needs of gay men in psychotherapy? What are the specific characteristics of psychotherapy for gay men? The aim is to learn about and understand these issues. Design and Method: An oral presentation will be given, based on the outcome of international research, literature and clinical practice. Psychiatric interviewing, assessment of sexual functioning, gay specific history taking and aspects of gay specific development are discussed. Interactive discussion with the audience sharing knowledge and clinical experience will deepen our understanding. Results: Mental and sexual health among gay men remains surprisingly poor. Anxiety, depression, mood disorders, suicidality are more common than among heterosexual men. 4/5 of gay men suffer from at least one sexual dysfunction. Treatment focusses on symptom relief and supports gay development. Conclusions: Gay men development is characterized by developmental tasks, challenges and risks. Some gay men get clinical problems: mental, sexual or both for which appropriate treatment is needed. Contemporary issues in psychotherapy with gay men are best addressed by a developmental approach.

Abstract:

Understanding the perception of internalized and community homophobia reported by gay men living with HIV is especially important because it contributes to the production of knowledge that can support public health policies aimed at caring for this population doubly exposed to the burden of stigma. The objective of the study was to evaluate internalized homophobia and perceived social oppression by a sample of gay men living with HIV/AIDS and to verify associations between homophobia and sociodemographic variables of the participants. This is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. Participants were 138 gay men with HIV, mean age of 36 years. The survey was conducted online, in the second semester of 2022. The Internalized Homophobia Scale and a sociodemographic questionnaire were used. High scores were found both on the subscale of social oppression, which verifies the perceived stigma in the community, and on the internalized homophobia, which refers to the stigma of gay men in relation to homosexuality. More than 93% of the participants believe that society punishes homosexual people, 98.55% that discrimination against homosexual people is still common, 22% do not like to think about their own sexuality and 22% prefer to have anonymous sexual partnerships. A greater perception of homophobia was verified among retirees and unemployed. The alarming scores of internalized and perceived homophobia in the community point to the urgency of intersectoral actions in Brazil aimed at reducing stigma, especially among individuals belonging to key populations, such as those living with HIV.

Full text

Abstract:

In his thoughtful introduction to Making, Out, Robert Wallace presents the publication of this volume as a political action: “this books makes available, in a clear and unambigous manner, work by an invisible minority that is usually ignored in mainstream curricula” (12). He correctly observes that literary works by minorities are rarely studied in classrooms until those works become available in book form. Publication, therefore, becomes a first step in creating a literary canon. Rejecting the definitionally fuzzy notion of a “gay play”, which seeks to link sexual orientation to a literary genre, Wallace anchors his volume in the statement that these are plays by “out” gay men, who by being both “out” and active in theatre, “help construct gay subjectivities in Canada” (13). As such, Making, Out is a public statement of the gay presence in contemporary Canadian theatre, and a conscious contribution to a growing canon of plays by Canadian gay men.

Abstract:

This article focuses on how health practitioners can better understand and intervene with gay men. Gay men’s health is situated within 3 prominent theoretical models (ie, minority stress, gender socialization, and identity development) and associated with 3 constructs (ie, internalized homonegativity, internalized homophobia, and internalized heterosexism) to contextualize gay men’s health concerns. Throughout the article, the authors draw particular attention to research that emphasizes the strengths of gay men, as this is a notable gap in the extant literature. Furthermore, HIV/AIDS is a central concern of gay men, and this article focuses on how cultural identities and factors may intersect with HIV/AIDS status among gay men and have implications for health decision making. Affirmative clinical interventions based on theory and research are presented throughout the article, which can be applied by health professionals in various settings. Given the confusion around terminology, lack of knowledge of available resources, and prevailing negative societal myths about gay men, the article provides a glossary of definitions for unclear terms, actively disputes myths that are not empirically supported, and provides a list of available resources.

Abstract:

We examined the relationship between verbal disclosure of sexual orientation and mental health among gay Latino and gay White men. In Study 1, we recruited 164 gay Latino ( n = 81) and gay White ( n = 83) men via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk). Participants completed measures assessing the degree to which they verbally disclosed their gay identity to others, as well as their depression and anxiety symptoms. Increased verbal disclosure predicted better mental health among gay White men only; no statistically significant relationships emerged among gay Latinos. In Study 2, we recruited 281 gay Latino ( n = 130) and White ( n = 151) men via MTurk, in which feelings of shame and guilt independently mediated the relationship between verbal disclosure and mental health. Among gay White men, increased verbal disclosure predicted less shame and guilt, which predicted better mental health. These relationships did not emerge for gay Latinos.

Full text

Abstract:

Social networks are increasingly recognised as being beneficial to health and wellbeing. This paper, drawing from a qualitative study into health services targeted at gay men in London, explores the facilitation by service providers of social networks among gay men. Networks are dependent upon reciprocity among their participants and the study examines how shared narratives can generate a sense of the reciprocity that contributes to the development of networks. The networks discussed here promote instrumental support or communication or emotional well-being or a combination of those. The paper explores the diversity of narratives among the thirty eight gay male service users who were informants to this study. While narratives around experiencing same sex desire, encountering social isolation and making decisions about coming out were articulated by all these informants, there were other organising principles in their lives which also shaped their narratives and their decisions about whom they shared these narratives with. The paper focuses on the development of social networks among three groups of gay men: young South Asian men accessing HIV prevention services, men seeking to give up smoking in relation to their experiences in the commercial venues which constitute the gay scene and carers of gay men and lesbians suffering from a chronic disease. The paper seeks to generate opportunities for reflection about the means to promote health and well-being among members of this marginalised population group.

Abstract:

To examine whether there were any ethnic-racial differences among 144 HIV-infected gay men (47 Caucasian, 48 African-American, and 49 Puerto Rican) on psychological stressors related to the gay lifestyle, responses to the Gay Lifestyle Hassles scale were analyzed. The African-American and Puerto Rican men reported significantly higher scores on frequency of Gay Lifestyle Hassles and cumulated severity of Gay Lifestyle Hassles over-all than Caucasian men. The results suggest that HIV-infected ethnic-minority gay men were more prone to psychological stress related to the gay lifestyle than HIV-infected Caucasian gay men, which may have negative consequences for their mental and physical health.

Abstract:

This study explored differences in meaning-in-life indicators, namely purpose in life and personal growth, among 76 community-dwelling middle-aged and older Israeli gay men, who had become fathers through a heterosexual relationship (mean age = 59.42, SD = 6.15, range: 50-78), 110 gay men that were not fathers (mean age = 60.37, SD = 9.69, range: 50-84), and 114 heterosexual fathers (mean age = 62.27, SD = 8.09, range: 50-87). As hypothesized, after controlling for 10 sociodemographic characteristics, personal growth was higher among middle-aged and older gay fathers compared with heterosexual fathers. No difference emerged for purpose in life. In line with a second hypothesis, both purpose in life and personal growth were higher among middle-aged and older gay fathers compared with middle-aged and older gay men that were not fathers. The ﬁndings emphasize the possible strengths, manifested by elevated levels of meaning in life, which fatherhood embodies for gay men.

Abstract:

The extent of gay-related discrimination in New York City (NYC) and the demographic and behavioral factors correlated with experiences of gay-related discrimination are not well understood. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention–sponsored National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System, a cross-sectional study, was conducted in NYC in 2011. Men who have sex with men were venue-sampled, interviewed, and offered HIV testing. Frequencies of types of gay-related discrimination experienced in the past 12 months were calculated. Associations between types of discrimination and demographic and HIV risk variables were examined through the estimation of prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). More than half (53.2%) of all study participants reported having experienced any gay-related discrimination in the past 12 months; 45.0% reported that they had been called names or insulted; 23.6% reported receiving poorer services than other people in restaurants, stores, other businesses, or agencies; 22.0% reported being treated unfairly at work or school; 15.1% reported being physically attacked or injured; and 6.7% reported being denied or given lower quality health care. HIV-positive status (adjusted PR [aPR] = 2.9; 95% CI = 1.5, 5.6) and drug use in the past 12 months (aPR = 0.3; 95% CI = 0.1, 0.7) were independently associated with reports of having been denied or given lower quality health care. High rates of reported gay-related discrimination suggest that greater efforts are needed to reduce gay-related discrimination in affected communities. Future research is needed to better understand the extent of gay-related discrimination in NYC, particularly with regard to the relationship between HIV status and health care access.

Regarding last-week suicidality: 1.9% were highly likely to attempt suicide, 7.5% reported having threatened to commit suicide, 19.7% reported suicidal ideation, and 80.28% revealed no suicidality. Last-week mental health symptoms and last-week suicidality were correlated in gay men to a high degree.ConclusionsWhen descriptively comparing the SCL-90 and BSSI scores with those in the general Iranian population reported in previous studies, gay men reported more serious mental health symptoms, and more suicidal ideation, threats, and attempts. The decriminalization of same-sex sexual encounters and accepting social attitudes towards gay men are needed in Iran to help improve this population's mental health and reduce their suicidality.

Abstract:

Research suggests that the development of close, opposite-sex friendships is frequently impeded by men’s often one-sided sexual attraction to women. But what if this element were removed? The current research tested the hypothesis that women engage in more comfortable and intimate interactions with a gay (but not a straight) man immediately after discovering his sexual orientation. In two studies, female participants engaged in imagined or actual initial interactions with either a straight man or a gay man. After the man’s sexual orientation was revealed, women (particularly attractive ones) who were paired with a gay man reported greater anticipated comfort, which was mediated by their reduced worry about his sexual intentions (Study 1). Further, once women discovered that they were interacting with a gay man, they displayed more intimate engagement behaviors with him (Study 2). These findings reveal how, and why, close relationships often form quickly between women and gay men.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to estimate the relative importance of gender discrimination and differences in household responsibilities as determinants of the male–female pay gap. Design/methodology/approach It parses out the relative importance of those two factors by using the pay between gay men vs lesbian women as a comparison group that should reflect only gender discrimination. Subtracting the pay gap between gay men and lesbians (reflecting only gender discrimination) from the male–female pay gap for their heterosexual counterparts (reflecting both gender discrimination and household responsibilities) provides evidence of the relative importance of gender discrimination and household responsibilities in explaining the male–female pay gap. Findings The results show that essentially all of the male–female pay gap is attributed to differences in household responsibilities. Originality/value This paper advances the literature of gender wage gap by using a novel comparison group – gay men vs lesbian women – to estimate the relative importance of gender discrimination and differences in household responsibilities as determinants of the male–female pay gap.

Abstract:

Understanding how people in any given population think about and experience their sexuality is fundamental to developing and implementing good health policy, research, and practice. Yet despite several decades of focus on sexual identity and HIV risk within health research, gay men as a category are often treated in an uncomplicated way. This article reports on focus group discussions held with 45 gay and other men who have sex with men in New Zealand to identify how they talked about issues of gay identity and gay community/ies. The men negotiated and renegotiated their gay identity and being gay was reported as just one part of most men’s lives. Many men did not like to be labeled as gay and downplayed aspects of their gay identity. Only a few men proclaimed being gay. Men reported very mixed experiences with the gay community/ies. Understanding how men experience being gay, provides information vital to enhancing policy, research and practice responses to gay men’s health issues. A major challenge for health service provision to appropriately engage with men who have sex with other men but resist being labeled as gay was identified.

Abstract:

Abstract Men who have sex with men (MSM) report greater body dissatisfaction compared with heterosexual men, which increases with age. This may result from internalized gay community values regarding ideal physiques and youth. Using structural equation modeling, we examined these relationships among 1,118 MSM men age 40 and older from the Healthy Aging Study (M age=59.9 years/50.1% HIV+/69.8% non-Hispanic White). We hypothesized gay community attachment would be related to self-appraisals (body dissatisfaction/internalized ageism), and that this relationship would be mediated by developmental regulation strategies (physical activity/exercise intentions). The model fit the data well (RMSEA = .048, 90% CI 0.017-0.079). Contrary to our hypothesis, connection to the gay community was related to positive self-appraisals (-.40, p<.001), with significant indirect effects via regulation strategies (-.12, p<.002). Thus, gay community connections are related to positive self-appraisals in older GB men and enhance strategies supporting physical and psychological health. Implications for practice will be discussed.

Abstract:

Abstract This study aimed to quantify human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine Twitter messaging addressing gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GB+MSM) and describes messaging by vaccine sentiment (attitudes towards vaccine) and characteristics (topic of messaging). Between August 2014 and July 2015, we collected 193 379 HPV-related tweets and classified them by vaccine sentiment and characteristics. We analysed a subsample of tweets containing the terms ‘gay’, ‘bisexual’ and ‘MSM’ (N = 2306), and analysed distributions of sentiment and characteristics using chi-square. HPV-related tweets containing GB+MSM terms occupied 1% of our sample. The subsample had a largely positive vaccine sentiment. However, a proportion of ‘gay’ and ‘bisexual’ tweets did not mention the vaccine, and a proportion of ‘gay’ and ‘MSM’ tweets had a negative sentiment. Topics varied by GB+MSM term—HPV risk messaging was prevalent in ‘bisexual’ (25%) tweets, and HPV transmission through sex/promiscuity messaging was prevalent in ‘gay’ (18%) tweets. Prevention/protection messaging was prevalent only in ‘MSM’ tweets (49%). Although HPV vaccine sentiment was positive in GB+MSM messaging, we identified deficits in the volume of GB+MSM messaging, a lack of focus on vaccination, and a proportion of negative tweets. While HPV vaccine promotion has historically focused on heterosexual HPV transmission, there are opportunities to shape vaccine uptake in GB+MSM through public health agenda setting using social media messaging that increases knowledge and minimizes HPV vaccine stigma. Social media-based HPV vaccine promotion should also address the identities of those at risk to bolster vaccine uptake and reduce the risk of HPV-attributable cancers.
