Abstract:
Bullying and cyberbullying have negative consequences on adolescents’ mental health. The study had two objectives: 1) to analyze possible differences in sexual orientation (heterosexual and non-heterosexual) in the percentage of victims and aggressors of bullying/cyberbullying, as well as the amount of aggressive behavior suffered and carried out; 2) to compare the mental health of adolescent heterosexual and non-heterosexual victims, aggressors, cybervictims, and cyberaggressors. Participants included 1,748 adolescents from the Basque Country, aged between 13 and 17 years (52.6% girls, 47.4% boys), 12.5% non-heterosexuals, 87.5% heterosexuals, who completed 4 assessment instruments. A descriptive and comparative cross-sectional methodology was used. The results confirm that: 1) the percentage of victims and cybervictims was significantly higher in non-heterosexuals, but the percentage of heterosexual and non-heterosexual aggressors and cyberaggressors was similar; 2) non-heterosexual victims and cybervictims had suffered significantly more aggressive bullying/cyberbullying; 3) non-heterosexual victims and aggressors of bullying exhibited significantly more depression, social anxiety, and psychopathological symptoms (somatization, obsession-compulsion, interpersonal sensitivity…) than heterosexuals; 4) non-heterosexual cybervictims and cyberaggressors displayed more depression and more psychopathological symptoms, but no differences were found in social anxiety. The importance of intervening from the family, school, and society to reduce bullying/cyberbullying and enhance respect for sexual diversity is discussed. Acoso y ciberacoso tienen consecuencias muy negativas en la salud mental de los adolescentes. El estudio tuvo dos objetivos: 1) analizar si existen diferencias en función de la orientación sexual (heterosexuales y no-heterosexuales) en el porcentaje de víctimas y agresores de acoso y ciberacoso, así como en la cantidad de conducta agresiva sufrida-realizada; 2) comparar la salud mental de adolescentes heterosexuales y no-heterosexuales que han sido víctimas, agresores, cibervíctimas y ciberagresores. Participaron 1.748 adolescentes del País Vasco, entre 13 y 17 años (52,6% chicas, 47,4% chicos), 12,5% no-heterosexuales, 87,5% heterosexuales, que cumplimentaron 4 instrumentos de evaluación. Se utilizó una metodología descriptiva y comparativa transversal. Los resultados confirman que: 1) el porcentaje de víctimas y cibervíctimas fue significativamente mayor en el grupo no-heterosexual, sin embargo, el porcentaje de agresores y ciberagresores heterosexuales y no-heterosexuales fue similar; 2) víctimas y cibervíctimas no-heterosexuales habían sufrido significativamente más cantidad de conductas agresivas de acoso/ciberacoso; 3) víctimas y agresores de acoso no-heterosexuales comparados con heterosexuales tenían significativamente más depresión, ansiedad social y síntomas psicopatológicos diversos (somatización, obsesión-compulsión, sensibilidad interpersonal…); 4) cibervíctimas y ciberagresores no-heterosexuales también presentaban más depresión y más síntomas psicopatológicos diversos, sin embargo, en ansiedad social no se hallaron diferencias. El debate se centra en la importancia de intervenir desde la familia, la escuela y la sociedad, para reducir el acoso/ciberacoso y estimular el respeto por la diversidad sexual.

Abstract:
We aim to characterize sexual behavioral aspects of heterosexual Neisseria gonorrhoea (NG) acquisition in two Sexually Transmitted Diseases clinics in Sydney, Australia, in 2008–2012. Of 167 NG cases, 102 were heterosexually acquired with a trend of increasing NG prevalence in heterosexuals from 1.1% (95% CI 0.6–2.1) in 2008 to 3.0% (95% CI 2.0–4.0) in 2012 (P=0.027). Of heterosexual male cases, unprotected fellatio was the likely sexual activity for NG acquisition in 21/69 (30.4%) and commercial sex work (CSW) contact the likely source in 28/69 (40.6%). NG prevalence overall in CSW (2.2%) was not significantly higher than in non-CSW (1.2%) (P=0.15), but in 2012 there was a significant increase in NG prevalence in CSW (8.6%) compared to non-CSW (1.6%) (P<0.001). Pharyngeal NG was found in 9/33 (27.3%) female cases. Decreased susceptibility to ceftriaxone (MIC ≥ 0.03 mg/L) occurred in 2.5% NG isolates, none heterosexually acquired. All were azithromycin susceptible. A significant trend of increasing prevalence of heterosexual gonorrhoea in an urban Australian STD clinic setting is reported. We advocate maintenance of NG screening in women, including pharyngeal screening in all women with partner change who report fellatio, as pharyngeal NG may be an important reservoir for heterosexual transmission. Outreach to CSW should be enhanced.

Abstract:
Kinsey argued that sexuality exists along a continuum from exclusive attraction to one sex or the other, with degrees of gradations of nonexclusivity in-between. Other than bisexuality and, recently, mostly heterosexuality, possibilities within the nonexclusive spectrum are seldom investigated, especially among men. In two studies presented here, an additional point, primarily heterosexual, in-between exclusively heterosexual and mostly heterosexual, is proposed. The three were distinguished among 92 young men based on self-reports of three sexual indicators (attraction, fantasy, genital contact); two romantic indicators (infatuation, romantic relationship); and sexual identity. Exclusively heterosexuals differed from the other two in having lower levels of pupil dilation to same-sex (but not other-sex) pornographic stimuli and of gender nonconformity, a proxy for sexual orientation. Primarily and mostly heterosexuals did not differ from each other on either measure but did differ in the extent to which mostly heterosexuals were considerably more likely to endorse same-sex sexuality. Results supported the uniqueness of mostly heterosexual men and, descriptively, primarily heterosexual men. The second longitudinal study found the exclusively heterosexual point was the most stable. Across the three, there was greater movement toward same-sex than other-sex sexuality. This is interpreted in light of the increasing acceptance of same-sex sexuality within the millennial generation.

Abstract:
US blacks carry a disproportionate risk of heterosexually transmitted HIV. This study aimed to evaluate the association between self-reported heterosexual anal intercourse and HIV. Using respondent-driven sampling (RDS), we recruited and interviewed 909 blacks from areas of high poverty and HIV prevalence in Houston, Texas, and who reported heterosexual sex in the last year. All individuals were tested for HIV. Weighted prevalence values were calculated to account for non-random recruitment associated with RDS. The weighted population prevalence of HIV infection was 2.4% and 2.5% among men and women, respectively. Education, employment status, income and crack cocaine use were not associated with HIV infection. Lifetime injection drug use (odds ratio [OR] 3.31, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.31–8.33%) and heterosexual anal intercourse (OR 2.41, 95% CI 1.02–5.73%) were associated with HIV infection. Individuals who reported both injection drug use and heterosexual anal intercourse had 6.21 increased odds of HIV (95% CI 2.47–15.61%). Our results suggest that heterosexual anal sex may be a vector for HIV transmission, especially in the context of injection drug use. Prevention strategies directed at curbing the HIV epidemic among black heterosexuals require that we correctly identify the risks so that appropriate interventions can be developed.

Abstract:
How many heterosexuals are ‘ex-homosexuals’? In 1984, a random sample of Dallas adults indicated that 8 (2.7%) of 294 currently heterosexual men and 4 (1.0%) of 393 currently heterosexual women said that they were ex-homosexual. Of an urban sample from 5 additional cities, 0.5% of current heterosexuals reported that they had been homosexually ‘married’. It thus appears that perhaps 1–2% of heterosexuals are ex-homosexuals. Proportionately more adults than teenagers and more men than women moved from homosexuality to heterosexuality. Of the 18 who changed, 12 became heterosexual and 6 bisexual, suggesting that perhaps two-thirds of those who abandon “being” homosexual ‘become’ heterosexual and a third ‘become’ bisexual. Because labeling oneself ‘homosexual’ is so mutable and value-laden, the term ‘omnisexual’ is suggested.

Abstract:
There is increasing recognition of the importance of social and cultural differences in shaping the diversity of the ageing experience in contemporary Britain. Various social and cultural factors, such as those associated with class, ethnicity, gender and disability, influence people's living circumstances and sources of support in later life. While they have been the subject of considerable speculation, ageing in a non-heterosexual context remains remarkably under-studied. This paper examines the difference that being non-heterosexual makes to how people experience ageing and later life. It draws on quantitative and qualitative data gathered for a British study of the living circumstances of non-heterosexuals aged between the fifties and the eighties. Previous work has overwhelmingly emphasised how individuals manage their sexual identities, but this paper focuses on the factors that shape the non-heterosexual experience of ageing and later life. Particular attention is paid to the relational and community contexts in which non-heterosexuals negotiate personal ageing. This not only provides insights into the specific challenges that ageing presents for non-heterosexuals, but also offers insights into the challenges faced by ageing non-heterosexuals and heterosexuals in ‘detraditionalised’ settings.

Abstract:
This study delves into heterosexual identity–behavior discordance, exploring the interaction between sexual identification and behavior in the UK. Analyzing representative 2010 data from the British population (N = 12,472), this research categorizes participants into different groups: nonheterosexual, concordant heterosexual, and three discordant heterosexual categories (closeted, experimenters, and desisters). These groups were compared in terms of sociodemographics, attitudes toward sexuality, risk behaviors, and health indicators. Discordance was associated with permissive social attitudes, including behaviors such as adultery and one-night stands, and with increased substance abuse and risky sexual behaviors, especially among the closeted. Surprisingly, the physical and mental health of discordant heterosexuals was similar to concordant heterosexuals, in contrast to the poorer health of nonheterosexuals. Due to the significant variations in lifestyles and health indicators among different groups, this study highlights the importance of providing targeted services and interventions.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to extend the “think manager, think male” research paradigm by examining managerial stereotypes as a function of both gender and sexual orientation, thus comparing the similarity of managerial stereotypes against the stereotypes of male (heterosexual and gay) and female (heterosexual and lesbian) managers. Design/methodology/approach – In total, 163 heterosexual participants used the 92-item Descriptive Index attribute inventory to rate one of five target groups: successful managers, heterosexual male managers, heterosexual female managers, gay male managers, and lesbian female managers. Intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated to assess the degree of correspondence between ratings of the target groups. Findings – The findings showed a higher correspondence between the descriptions of heterosexual male or female managers and the successful manager prototype than between the descriptions of gay male managers and the successful manager prototype. Additionally, results showed that the stereotypes of lesbian female managers were seen as having a moderate level of fit with the successful manager prototype. Practical implications – The results of this study suggest that heterosexuals’ beliefs about gay male and lesbian female managers’ abilities are important. In particular, heterosexuals’ stereotypes that gay males lack the qualities of being a successful manager can limit gay men’s access to positions with managerial responsibilities and impede their progress into leadership positions. Originality/value – This study addresses a critical gap in the management literature as it is the first empirical investigation to assess whether the “think manager, think male” phenomenon holds for managers who are members of sexual minority groups.

Abstract:
IntroductionRecreational drug use is widely reported in the MSM population, however its use in the male heterosexual population is less well-described. We undertook a short survey to determine the prevalence of chemsex use in all men.MethodsSelf-directed questionnaires were given to all male attendees at a GUM clinic for three weeks in December 2016. Data on demographics, level of education, sexual risk and drug use (including ‘chemsex’ drugs and other recreational drugs).Results268 questionnaires were returned. 70% (182/260) were heterosexual and 63% (155/246) were of white ethnicity. 41% of both the heterosexual and MSM groups had ever tried one drug. Prevalence of recent use (less than 1 year) was 27% (40/149) in heterosexuals and 35% (24/68) in MSM. There was much less use of ‘chemsex’ drugs in heterosexuals versus MSM (20% versus 9%, p=0.03). Use of crystal methamphetamine and GHB were much lower in the heterosexual population. The highest prevalence of any previous drug use was found in white men vs non-white men (73/133 (55%) versus 11/65 (17%), p <0.05) a pattern was seen in both heterosexual and MSM groups.DiscussionThere were surprisingly high levels of recreational drug use in heterosexual men, especially those of white ethnicity. ‘Chemsex’ drugs still seem to be much more common among MSM, especially crystal methamphetamine and GHB, but the difference in mephedrone use is much less marked. These data highlight the necessity of asking all patients that attend GUM clinics about their drug use, and not only MSM.Abstract P142 Table 1Recreational drug use in Heterosexual and MSM.Ever UsedMSM n (%)Heterosexual men n (%)All29/70(41)59/144(41)Cocaine21/66(32)47/139(34)MDMA23/67(34)42/134(31)GHB11/65(17)3/131(2)Ketamine9/63(14)15/130(12)Mephedrone9/65(14)11/131(8)Crystal methamphetamine5/64(8)2/130(2)Legal1/61(2)9/128(7)Steroids0-3/130(2)Other4/62(6)12/124(10)

Abstract:
The present study examined the viability of a model of biased language use (e.g., Maass et al., 1989; Maass et al., 1996) as a measure of anti-lesbian prejudice among heterosexual women. As a matter of methodological and psychometric exploration, four alternative methods of scoring linguistic abstraction were employed.One hundred eighty-one female university undergraduates provided abstraction ratings for a series of seven fictitious news clippings, adapted from von Hippel et al. (1997), four of which depicted either heterosexual or lesbian women engaging in behaviors that were either socially favorable or unfavorable and lesbian stereotypic or counterstereotypic. Participants also completed a "Memory Test" devised for this study, a demographic questionnaire, and the ATL Subscale of the ATLG (Herek, 1988, 1994).The prediction that the linguistic expectancy bias (LEB; e.g., Maass, 1999) would be observed in the present intergroup context was not supported. The overall pattern of results suggested some stability across scoring methods. A number of implications of the findings are considered, with a focus on methodological concerns and applications to practice.

Abstract:
The current research focuses on the study of power and commitment within heterosexual relationships. The research reviews, compares and contrasts the theoretical perspectives of Nietzsche through the work of Kaufmann and Gordon and utilises a qualitative research method of Narrative Inquiry. These theoretical epistemological and methodological perspectives are used in conjunction with the method of semi-structured interviewing to identify thematic phenomenological descriptions of participants stories. The three discourses of Fear Discourse, Protective Discourse and Detached Discourse have been used in conjunction with the writings of Nietzsche concerning the Will to Power as thematic guidance discourses for this study. To reveal these discourses the research question- How does an individual’s styles or themes of commitment change within and between three of their previous heterosexual relationships - was examined. The research found that commitment is understood as another name for responsibility, males are most often understood as behaving with a lack of responsibility, females in overly responsible ways. The research concluded that the production of a balanced responsible sharing approach achieved through creativity is the most desirable to accomplish self-overcoming independence and freedom within all situations

Abstract:
To further understand the predictors of condom use for HIV prevention, this cross-sectional study surveyed 276 heterosexually active couples, between the ages of 16 and 29, who had been dating for less than one year. Each partner completed a self-report, multidimensional survey package and returned it via mail. Study objectives were to examine: (1) whether variables previously associated with condom use in studies of individuals (i.e., communication, attitudes toward condoms, knowledge, relationship variables), were associated with condom use in the context of the couple relationship; (2) whether there were paired-gender differences on the predictor variables; and (3) whether attachment style was associated with condom use among the couples sampled. The unique and innovative aspects of the study were its focus on couples and its exploration of the influence of attachment. The study yielded several important results. First, congruence of partner scores regarding the perception of need for condoms safe relationships was of particular importance in predicting the likelihood of condom use. Consistent condom use was more likely to occur if both partners held a positive perception; inconsistent or non-condom use was more likely if both partners held a negative view. Second, the variables that had been previously identified as predictors in studies of individuals, taken together, helped to correctly classify inconsistent/no-condom use, but did not do so for consistent use. Third, although females reported asking questions about their partner's sexual history more often than did males, and also reported carrying the burden of the decision to use condoms, their decision was ultimately influenced by their male partner's perception of whether condoms should be used. Finally, although there were no significant relationships between attachment style and condom use, it is not possible to rule out the absence of an association owing to the inadequate representation of all attachment styles in this sample. Furthermore, significant correlations were observed between condom use predictor variables and attachment working models that represent the individual's image of other people, and the individual's image of self. Results are discussed with respect to decision-making heuristics and optimistic bias regarding HIV/STD risk perceptions, and implications for intervention strategies are suggested.

It is widely acknowledged that there are problems with the way in which heterosexual relationships are negotiated. A critical focus on heterosexuality has been particularly stimulated by feminist discourse on gender power relations and the global imperative to challenge HIV infection. In the South African contextthere has been a growing on researching and education about (hetero)sexuality, particularly in the wake of the continued increase in HIV prevalence rates which are highest among young black, South Africans.

Abstract:
Prostate cancer is one of the most prominent diseases in men’s health. It is inherently 'male', given the exclusivity of the prostate gland to men’s bodies and its physiological connection to testosterone and male sexuality. The biomedical complexities of prostate cancer continue to be unravelled and researched and are often connected to identifying causes, the virtues of screening and treatment modalities. However, despite the biological male 'sex' link, most of the prostate cancer research is not connected with research on gender relations, men and masculinities. The net outcome is that men’s lives and illness experiences are absent in much of the prostate cancer research. This PhD thesis Prostate cancer: Anglo-Australian heterosexual perspectives, is an ethnographic study of thirty-five Anglo-Australian men diagnosed with prostate cancer. Participants shared their experiences of living with prostate cancer in the context of health promotion, health services and in relation to their sexuality and intimate relationships. Through participant photographic novella and in-depth semi-structured interviews, rich cultural insights are provided. A social constructionist gender analysis is used in this research that shows how the social constructions of masculinity interconnect and occasionally collide with prostate cancer throughout the illness trajectory.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis was to investigate a broad variety of factors, in a cohort of EU heterosexual partners of HIV+ individuals (indexes), which may affect heterosexual transmission. The immune function of the EUs was assessed and compared to normal controls, by monitoring proliferative responses to mitogen, recall and alloantigens and a combination of recombinant HIV proteins. Cytokine responses to these stimuli were also monitored. The EUs were also confirmed to be uninfected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The EUs had similar proliferative responses to controls for both the allogenic and recall antigens and showed a minor difference in the response to the mitogen, phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), which may reflect differences in the kinetics of the response. An increase in the amount of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) produced in response to alloantigen was seen in EUs compared to controls, which could potentially inhibit HIV replication. The proportion of lymphocytes expressing the MHC Class II protein, human leucocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR), was also elevated in the EUs compared to controls and may reflect an overall increase in the activation status of the EU' lymphocytes. Genetic factors which were investigated included the HLA antigens and the recently reported mutations in the CC chemokine receptors (CCR), CCR-2 and CCR-5, utilised by certain strains of HIV as co-receptors for entry. The HLA allele DR5 was elevated in frequency in the EU cohort compared to population controls and to HIV+ individuals who were infected by heterosexual exposure.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Gruppen äldre icke-heterosexuella i Sverige beräknas omfatta 80 000 personer. I sjuksköterskeutbildningen existerar begränsad kunskap om äldre HBT-personer. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva upplevelsen av att vara äldre och icke-heterosexuell. Metod: I litteraturstudien sammanställdes åtta kvalitativa artiklar publicerade mellan 2001 och 2009. Litteratursökningar genomfördes i databaserna CINAHL, PsychINFO och PubMed. Efter genomläsning, kvalitetsbestämning och analys av innehållet sammanställdes artiklarna i fem kategorier och 16 subkategorier. Resultat: Äldre icke-heterosexuella såg på och hanterade sin sexuella identitet på olika sätt. Överlag tyckte många deltagare att de hade ett gott självförtroende samt kände att de var nöjda med livet. Många upplevde dock ålderism och kände sig dåligt bemötta i vården samt upplevde att de inte hade samma lagliga rättigheter som heterosexuella. Vissa icke-heterosexuella valde att medvetet dölja sin sexuella läggning exempelvis av rädsla för negativa attityder. Andra levde öppet med sin sexuella identitet. Slutsats: Ett synliggörande av äldre icke-heterosexuella är nödvändigt. Ökad kunskap och attitydförändringar är viktiga för att äldre homo- och bisexuella ska känna sig likvärdigt behandlade och trygga i vården. Resultaten kommer förhoppningsvis att leda till en ökad kunskap om och större förståelse för äldre icke-heterosexuella personer i vården. Vidare forskning om äldre HBT-personer behövs.
Background: The group of elderly non-heterosexuals in Sweden is estimated to include 80,000 people. Within the nursing programme, there is limited knowledge about older LGBT people. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the experience of being elderly and non-heterosexual. Method: In this literature study eight qualitative articles, published between 2001 and 2009, were compiled. Literature searches were performed in the databases CINAHL, PsychINFO and PubMed. After perusal, determination of the quality and analysis of the content, the articles were compiled into five categories and 16 subcategories. Results: Older non-heterosexuals viewed and dealt with their sexual identity in different ways. Overall, many participants in the studies experienced a high level of confidence and satisfaction with their lives but many experienced ageism and felt discriminated within nursing contexts. Several of the participants felt that they did not have the same legal rights as heterosexuals do. Some non-heterosexuals chose to deliberately conceal their sexual orientation due to fear of negative attitudes while others lived openly with their sexual identity. Conclusion: It is necessary to make the older non-heterosexuals visible. In order to make elderly non-heterosexuals feel secure and equally treated in health care, increased awareness and changes in attitudes are important. Hopefully, the findings will result in better knowledge and greater understanding of elderly non-heterosexuals in the nursing context. Further research is needed on older LGBT persons.

Abstract:
OBJETIVOS: Explorar la salud mental de los hombres y mujeres que hacen uso sexualizado de drogas (Chemsex) MATERIAL Y METODOS : Participantes: 1.181 personas entre 18 y 78 años (edad media = 24,47, DE = 7,47). (n = 795, 67%) mujeres, (n = 382, 32%) hombres, y (n = 4, <1%) no binarias. Medidas: Subescalas de depresión y ansiedad del Inventario Breve de Síntomas (BSI; Derogatis &Fitzpatrick, 2004). Procedimiento Encuesta transversal anónima autoadministrada en línea de febrero a mayo de 2021, con 2.293 visitas. La tasa de respuesta fue del 51,50% (N = 1181). Se invitó a participar a mujeres y hombres heterosexuales con edad igual o superior a 18 años. Criterios de inclusión : tener mínimo 18 años; ser hombre, mujer o persona no binaria heterosexual sexualmente activa; y haber residido la mayor parte de los últimos 24 meses en el territorio español. RESULTADOS Analizamos si el UDS se asocia a los resultados de salud mental (síntomas de depresión y ansiedad). Aquellos participantes que consumían drogas con fines sexuales presentaron puntuaciones significativamente más altas en depresión que aquellos que no consumían. La ansiedad de los participantes no difirió significativamente con respecto a involucrarse o no en el USD. No hubo diferencias significativas entre mujeres y varones que practican USD en depresión o ansiedad CONCLUSIONES: Este es uno de los primeros estudios en analizar el USD entre mujeres y varones heterosexuales. ‣ El USD en personas heterosexuales está significativamente relacionado con síntomas de depresión. ‣ Resulta necesario diseñar programas de identificación, educación y prevención específicos que reduzcan la incidencia de las consecuencias más indeseables del USD tanto en hombres como en mujeres, independientemente de su orientación sexual. Asimismo, promover un abordaje centrado en las necesidades de salud mental de los que hacen USD.

Abstract:
We assess the extent of discrimination against gay and transgender individuals in the rental housing markets of four Latin American countries. We conducted a large-scale field experiment based on the correspondence study methodology to examine interactions between property managers and fictitious couples engaged in searches on a major online rental housing platform. We find no evidence of discrimination against gay male couples but we do find evidence of discrimination against heterosexual couples with a transgender woman partner (trans couples). The latter receive 19% fewer responses, 27% fewer positive responses, and 23% fewer invitations to showings than heterosexual couples. We also assess whether the evidence is consistent with taste-based discrimination or statistical discrimination models by comparing response rates when couples signal being professionals with stable jobs (high SES). While we find no significant effect of the signal for high-SES heterosexual or gay male couples, trans couples benefit from this. Their call-back, positive-response, and invitation rates increase by 25%, 36% and 29%, respectively. These results suggest that discrimination against trans couples is consistent with statistical discrimination. Moreover, we find no evidence of heterosexual couples being favored over gay male couples, nor evidence of statistical discrimination for gay male or heterosexual couples.

We assess the extent of discrimination against gay and transgender individuals in the rental housing markets of four Latin American countries. We conducted a large-scale field experiment building on the correspondence study methodology to examine interactions between property managers and fictitious couples engaged in searches on a major online rental housing platform. We find evidence of discriminatory behavior against heterosexual couples where the female partner is a transgender woman (trans couples): they receive 19% fewer responses, 27% fewer positive responses, and 23% fewer invitations to showings than heterosexual couples. However, we find no evidence of discrimination against gay male couples. We also assess whether the evidence is consistent with taste-based discrimination or statistical discrimination models by comparing response rates when couples signal high socioeconomic status (high SES). While we find no significant effect of the signal on call-back rates or the type of response for high-SES heterosexual or gay male couples, trans couples benefit when they signal high SES. Their call-back, positive-response, and invitation rates increase by 25%, 36% and 29%, respectively. These results suggest the presence of discrimination against trans couples in the Latin American online rental housing market, which seems consistent with statistical discrimination. Moreover, we find no evidence of heterosexual couples being favored over gay male couples, nor evidence of statistical discrimination for gay male or heterosexual couples.

Abstract:
The brief outlines existing research on gambling among LGBTQ2+ communities. There is little research related to gambling and gambling harms within this community. Key findings in the brief include: Members of LGBTQ2+ communities are at greater risk problem gambling and gambling-related harms Sexual minority men gamble less often and spend less money when compared to heterosexual men Sexual minority women are at greater risk of problem gambling when compared to heterosexual women Experiencing stigma is associated with problem gambling and gambling harms among LGBTQ2+ individuals This brief can provide a starting point for further study on gambling within LGBTQ2+ communities.

Full text
Abstract:
We measure the extent of discrimination against same-sex couples by schools in Colombia using a matched-pair correspondence study. We send requests to visit private schools from several couples of different sexual orientation as conveyed by the names of the parents. We track the response rate from schools, the time to reply and the quality of the reply. We find that schools are 12 percentage points (22.3%) less likely to respond to a request sent by a homosexual couple with respect to one sent by a heterosexual one. When no information about sexual orientation is provided, the response rate decreases by 20pp. (37%) versus an explicitly heterosexual couple. Conditional on replying, we find no difference in the time schools take to respond or the quality of the reply across couples, a result plausibly driven by selection into responding. Our findings suggest that, despite a strong legal framework that protects LGBTQ rights, discrimination against same-sex couples is pervasive and can have intergenerational consequences.

This paper studies socio-economic disparities in Mexico based on sexual orientation and gender identity using data from a nationally representative survey collected in 2021. It finds pronounced levels of self-reported discrimination and workplace rejection experienced by LGBTQ individuals. It also reports different rates of labor force participation and unemployment compared to heterosexual and cisgender counterparts. Additionally, heterogeneity analysis provides new insights into nuanced disparities within LGBTQ groups.
