The ethical challenges of supporting MSM (Men who have Sex with Men) in 21st- century CameroonPérez Fernández, Pablo January 2020 (has links)
Given the state and social homophobias one can encounter in Cameroon, it can be rightly assumed that MSM (men who have sex with men) constitute an extraordinarily vulnerable group. Such vulnerability, besides its legal nature, encompasses a number of sexual risk behaviours and psychological distress precisely derived from criminal prosecution and social discrimination. For that reason, and following the humanitarian imperative, humanitarian actors might want to launch an operation targeting such populations. Nevertheless, various ethical challenges linked to conflicting humanitarian principles, the post-colonial socio-political positions, and the diversity of queer identities might arise. This thesis will explore such ethical challenges, in an attempt to sensitise foreign humanitarians about the most sensible, yet effective, ways to support MSM in 21st- century Cameroon. The methodology used will include primary data collection through interviews and open- ended questionnaires, secondary data collection through articles and books, and the analysis and discussion of both. The theoretical framework utilised will be a combination of the Post-colonial and Queer theories, complemented with concepts borrowed from the advocacy and humanitarian ethics field.

Sexual Anxiety Among Non-Monogamous Men Who Have Sex with Men: A Phenomenological StudyPeixoto, Cayden 23 September 2020 (has links)
Sexual anxiety is a prevalent issue among men who have sex with men (MSM) that negatively affects sexual satisfaction and wellbeing. However, research investigating sexual anxiety among MSM has been scarce. This descriptive phenomenological study was conducted to address knowledge gaps and identify the predominant underlying causes of sexual anxiety among non-monogamous MSM. Using purposive sampling, eleven sexually active, non-monogamous MSM were recruited for this study (N=11). Data were collected using audio-recorded, semi-structured interviews, and analyzed using Moustakas’ (1994) structured approach to data analysis in phenomenological research. Participant descriptions of their lived experiences of sexual anxiety identified six prevalent causes among MSM individuals. These included performance anxiety, fear of HIV, fear of bacterial STIs, internalized homophobia, body image dissatisfaction, and history of sexual abuse. Not surprisingly, fear of HIV was the dominant cause of sexual anxiety among most participants. Recommendations to prevent and reduce sexual anxiety among MSM are provided.

Examining Earlier Sexual Debut Among Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM) in Kazakhstan at Elevated Risk of HIVLaughney, Caitlin Isabella January 2023 (has links)
As rates of HIV transmission have accelerated in Kazakhstan over the past ten years, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) in Kazakhstan have experienced a disproportionate burden of the HIV epidemic, including a seven-fold increase in HIV prevalence. Earlier age of first sexual activity (i.e., earlier sexual debut) has been associated with long-term health trajectories among MSM at risk of HIV, however, no previous research has examined associations between earlier sexual debut and HIV-related risk factors among MSM in Kazakhstan.
This dissertation tests hypotheses examining whether earlier sexual debut is associated with the following factors associated with HIV infection during adulthood among MSM in Kazakhstan: substance use, exchange sex, and experiences of anti-gay violence. Study data were obtained through a NIDA-funded clinical trial of a behavioral intervention seeking to increase the engagement of MSM who use substances in Kazakhstan in the HIV care continuum.
Findings indicate that earlier sexual debut is significantly associated with increased risk of substance use, exchange sex behaviors, and experiences of anti-gay victimization among MSM in Kazakhstan. Future research should examine the contexts of MSM’s sexual debut, including whether this experience was consensual or involved other forms of adverse childhood events. Policy recommendations include increased access to sexual and gender expansive-inclusive comprehensive sexual education, and anti-discrimination policies. Clinical considerations include trauma-informed HIV prevention resources for MSM that recognizes that individuals seeking care may have complex, intersecting, and marginalized life histories, including experiences of violence across the life course.

[pt] O CAMPO JORNALÍSTICO E A LEI ANTI-HOMOFOBIA: UMA ANÁLISE DAS CATEGORIZAÇÕES DE PERTENCIMENTO SOBRE O PROJETO DE LEI DA CÂMARA 122 NOS JORNAIS IMPRESSOS BRASILEIROS / [en] THE JOURNALISTIC FIELD AND THE ANTI-HOMOPHOBIA LAW: MEMBERSHIP CATEGORIZATION ANALYSIS OF THE BILL 122 ON BRAZILIAN NEWSPAPERSJULIANA DEPINE ALVES GUIMARAES 23 May 2019 (has links)
[pt] Uma das principais reivindicações dos movimentos brasileiros de minorias sexuais LGBT nas últimas duas décadas tem sido a aprovação de uma lei que criminalize a homofobia em âmbito federal. O Projeto de Lei da Câmara 122 (PLC 122), conhecido como lei anti-homofobia, foi proposto na Câmara dos Deputados em 2001 com o objetivo de incluir a discriminação por orientação sexual ou identidade de gênero no Código Penal. O projeto foi arquivado no Senado Federal no final de 2014. Considerando que o jornalismo é agente ativo na produção de enquadramentos específicos acerca dos acontecimentos, o objetivo da tese é investigar a cobertura jornalística sobre o PLC 122, entre 2001 e 2015. Nosso material de análise é composto por 619 reportagens de quinze jornais impressos, que cobrem as cinco regiões brasileiras, e utilizamos como ferramenta metodológica a Análise de Categorização de Pertencimento (Membership Categorization Analysis). Como resultado, nossa análise evidenciou quatro padrões analíticos, que englobam as categorizações de pertencimento utilizadas no âmbito dos discursos jornalísticos no período: acerca 1) dos sujeitos LGBT, formulados como minorias sociais, vítimas de crimes homofóbicos ou como militantes; 2) do projeto de lei, categorizado como censura ou como promotor de direitos; 3) da prática homossexual, categorizada como opção ou antinatural; e 4) das instituições brasileiras, definidas ora como fundamentalistas ora laicas. / [en] One of the main demands of Brazilian social movements of sexual minorities in the past two decades has been the approval of a law that deals with the criminal classification of homofobia at a Federal level. The Bill 122, also known as anti-homophobia law, aimed to include discrimination against sexual orientation or gender identity as identified in the criminal code (specifically Law 7716 from 1989, also known as the Racism Law). Proposed in 2001 in the House of Representatives, the bill was later filed in the Senate at the end of 2014. Assuming that the journalistic field is an active agent in producing frames about the bill and its related subjects, the primary objective of the dissertation is to investigate how the Brazilian printed newspapers frame the Bill 122 between 2001 and 2015. The dataset is composed of 619 news articles from 15 different papers, which encompass all five brazilian regions, and we use as a methodological tool the Membership Categorization Analysis (MCA). As a result, our analysis revealed four analytical patterns, composed of the categorizations used within the journalistic field during that period: about 1) the LGBT subjects, formulated as social minorities, victims of homophobic crimes or as militants; 2) the Bill 122, categorized as a type of censorship or as a promoter of human rights; 3) the homosexual practices, categorized as an anti-natural option and 4) the Brazilian institutions, defined sometimes as fundamentalist, sometimes as secular.

Les vidéos de gay bashing : des agresseurs à YouTubePineault, Laurent 08 1900 (has links)
La recherche portera sur la montée des vidéos de gay bashing depuis 2013. Par vidéo de
gay bashing, nous entendons des vidéos documentant l’abus physique ou verbal d’individus
perçus par les agresseurs comme étant gais, lesbiennes, bisexuels, transgenres ou queer, mais
nous nous concentrerons spécifiquement sur des vidéos montrant des agressions envers des
hommes. Ces vidéos peuvent être enregistrées par les agresseurs eux-mêmes ou par des témoins
de la scène. Il s’agira de situer cette montée dans un contexte politique de retour de lois et
sentiments anti-LGBT dans les pays d’où proviennent certaines des vidéos étudiées et par rapport
aux différentes théories anthropologiques et socio-historiques concernant les sources et
motivations derrière les actes de violence homophobe. Le corpus se composera de trois vidéos
venant de Russie («Putin’s Crackdown on LGBT Teens un Russia»), de Lybie («Gay torture and
violent in Lybia») et des États-Unis («Attack at gay pride event in Detroit»). L’analyse du corpus
se fera en trois temps : d’abord l’analyse de la forme et du contenu des vidéos en tant que tels,
ensuite, l’analyse de leur circulation et des différents utilisateurs qui distribuent les vidéos en
ligne, et, finalement, l’analyse de la réception des vidéos en portant attention aux commentaires
des utilisateurs. Il s’agira de montrer comment les vidéos de gay-bashing effectuent une rupture
par rapport à une vision de YouTube, et autres médias sociaux, comme libérateurs et comme lieux
d’expression de soi (particulièrement pour les membres des communautés LGBT) et les
transforment en lieux d’une humiliation triplée par l’enregistrement de l’humiliation physique et
sa diffusion sur le web. Il s’agira ensuite de voir comment la circulation et la redistribution de ces
vidéos par différents groupes et utilisateurs les instrumentalisent selon différents agendas
politiques et idéologiques, pour finalement se questionner, en s’inspirant du triangle de
l’humiliation de Donald Klein, sur le rôle ambivalent du témoin (physique ou virtuel) dont la
présence est nécessaire pour qu’il y ait humiliation. Finalement, nous nous intéresserons aux
vidéos de témoignages de gay-bashing, vidéos faites par les victimes elles-mêmes, racontant leur
traumatisme à la caméra, renouant ainsi avec les vidéos de coming out sous la forme de l’aveu et
de la spectacularisation du soi. La présente recherche sera également l’occasion de développer
des outils théoriques et méthodologiques propres aux nouveaux médias et aux nouvelles formes
et contenus qui s’y développent. / This research will study the rise of gay bashing videos since 2013. We define gay bashing
videos as videos documenting verbal or physical attacks against individuals perceived by the
abusers as being gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual or queer. We will however concentrate our
study on videos showing attacks against men. These videos can be recorded by the abusers
themselves or by witnesses. This rise in gay bashing videos will be situated within a comeback or
anti-LGBT feelings and laws in some of the countries where the videos come from and also
within anthropological and socio-historical theories about the sources and motivations behind
homophobic violence. The corpus will consist of three videos coming from Russia ((«Putin’s
Crackdown on LGBT Teens in Russia»), Lybia («Gay torture and violent in Lybia») and the
United States («Attack at gay pride event in Detroit») The analysis of the videos will be made in
three steps: 1. The analysis of the form and content of the videos. 2. The analysis of their
circulation and the different users circulating them online. 3. The analysis of their reception with
a particular attention given to the users’ comments on YouTube. We will show how gay bashing
videos are creating a rupture with a certain vision of YouTube and other social medias as
liberating and sites of self-expression (especially for LGBT people) and how they transform them
as sites of humiliations that are tripled by the recording of the event and its circulation on the
web. We will then see how the circulation of those videos by different groups and users
transforms them according to different political agendas and ideologies, to finally question
ourselves, by following the Humiliation Triangle from Donald Klein, on the ambivalent role of
the witness (physical or virtual) whose presence is necessary for a humiliation to take place.
Finally we will focus on videos of gay bashing testimonies made by the victims themselves who
narrate their trauma in front of the camera thus reviving the logic of avowal that we can find in
coming out videos. This research will also be an opportunity to develop new methodological and
theoretical tools for the study of new medias.

Les crimes motivés par la haine envers les homosexuels : une étude compréhensive du stigma homosexuel et de son impact sur la reportabilité des événements de victimisation criminelleRoy, Joey 04 1900 (has links)
Considérant la « nouveauté » du phénomène de dénonciation auprès des policiers et l’utilisation
croissante du concept social de « crime motivé par la haine », peu d’études ont été réalisées au
Canada sur l’incidence de ces crimes pour les personnes comme pour la société. Cette recherche
exploratoire a comme objectif de comprendre la façon dont ce type de crime se distingue des autres
manifestations de conflits ou d’incidents et de comprendre les impacts de ce type de victimisation
pour les homosexuels en particulier. Plus spécifiquement, ce mémoire vise à approfondir la
compréhension du stigmate homosexuel et son impact sur la reportabilité des événements de
victimisation criminelle aux autorités judiciaires. Pour ce faire, cinq intervenants communautaires,
deux policiers, un avocat et quatre victimes considérant avoir vécu des événements de violence
homophobe ont été interviewés. Cet échantillon diversifié a permis de mieux comprendre le
phénomène de sous-déclaration des incidents de violences homophobes de la part des victimes et
d’obtenir une vue d’ensemble des perceptions des acteurs clés qui peuvent être confrontés au
phénomène.
L’analyse des entretiens suggère d’importantes lacunes sur le plan de la formation des divers
intervenants qui entrainent des difficultés à reconnaître une violence homophobe. Les intervenants
confient ne pas se sentir pas suffisamment outillés pour intervenir auprès d’une victime de violence
homophobe, n’estiment pas tous posséder les compétences et une compréhension suffisante des
réalités des minorités sexuelles, de l'homophobie et de l'hétérosexisme, en somme, l’ensemble des
savoirs ultimement nécessaires à une assistance et un accompagnement efficaces pour la déclaration
aux autorités d’une telle violence vécue par les victimes. Du côté des victimes de violence(s)
homophobe(s), il ressort que la discrimination basée sur l’orientation sexuelle est encore prégnante
dans leurs interactions quotidiennes. De leur point de vue, la banalisation et l’impunité de certains
comportements homophobes par les instances judiciaires viennent renforcer l’idée chez les victimes
et la société d’une forme d’infériorité de l’orientation homosexuelle. L’apposition d’une étiquette
homosexuelle paraît ainsi avoir de multiples conséquences psychologiques et sociales sur les
victimes, notamment sur leur développement identitaire et sexuel. L’intégration des stigmates
homosexuels et l’autostigmatisation, qui les poussent à se déprécier, voire à déprécier l’ensemble de
la communauté homosexuelle, surgissent de leur perception de la présence de forts stéréotypes
homosexuels, d’une société majoritairement hétérosexiste et de l’opérationnalisation sociale d’une
distanciation entre le « nous » hétérosexuel et le « eux » homosexuel. Par leur marginalisation, leur
mise en infériorité historique, l’ambiguïté du concept de « crimes motivés par la haine », la noncompréhension
de la violence et des répercussions qu’ont les intervenants communautaires et
judiciaires de la situation et partant, dans bien des cas, de la prise en charge inadéquate qui en
découle pour les victimes des violences homophobes, il est possible de comprendre les
appréhensions mentales que les victimes entretiennent ainsi que leur réticence à solliciter de l’aide et
encore plus à rapporter la victimisation vécue aux autorités judiciaires. / Given the “novelty” of the denunciation phenomenon with the police and the increasing use of the
social concept of "hate crime", few studies have been conducted in Canada on the impact of these
crimes for individuals and for society. This exploratory research aims to understand how this type of
crime is different from other conflicts of events or incidents and to understand the impacts of this
type of victimization on homosexuals in particular. More specifically, this paper aims to deepen
understanding of the homosexual stigma and its impact on reportability of criminal victimization
events to judicial authorities. For those purposes, five community stakeholder, two policemen, a
lawyer and four victims who believes that they have experienced homophobic violence events were
interviewed. This diversified sample allowed a better understanding of the phenomenon of
underreporting of homophobic violence incidents by victims and a comprehensive overview of the
perceptions of key stakeholders who may face this phenomenon.
The interviews analysis suggests significant deficiencies in the training of the various stakeholders
that cause difficulties to acknowledge homophobic violence. Stakeholders entrust feeling not
sufficiently equipped to intervene with a victim of homophobic violence, acknowledge that they do
not have the necessary skills and a sufficient understanding of the realities of sexual minorities,
homophobia and heterosexism, in sum, all the knowledge ultimately necessary to provide assistance
and effective support to report to authorities such violence experienced by victims. As for victims of
homophobic (s) violence (s), it is clear that discrimination based on sexual orientation is still vivid in
their daily interactions. From their perspective, the trivialization and impunity of some homophobic
behavior by the courts reinforce the idea among victims and society of a form of inferiority of the
homosexual orientation. The affixing of homosexual label appears to have multiple social and
psychological consequences for victims, in particular on their identity and sexual development. The
integration of gay stigma and self-stigma that drive homosexuals to depreciate themselves or the
entire gay community, arise from their perception of the presence of strong homosexual stereotypes,
a predominantly heterosexist society operationalizing social distancing between "us" heterosexuals
and "them" gays. By their marginalization, their social inferiority position throughout History, the
ambiguity of the concept of "hate motivated crimes", the lack of understanding of violence and the
impact that community and judicial stakeholders of the situation and thus, in many cases, may be a
consequence of inadequate care for victims of homophobic violence, it is possible to understand the
mental apprehensions that victims have and their reluctance to seek help and even more, to report to
judicial authorities their victimization.

Previous issue date: 2018-03-19 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / The purpose of this research is to understand the concepts constructed by teachers who are
gay about the multiple violence and prejudices experienced in relation to their sexual
orientation and their expression approach types. To enable to comply with this, we seek to
understand the historical constitution of heterosexism and homophobia in the Brazilian
society. We have focused on studies that recall the trajectory of LGBTT movement and the
various forms of expression of homophobia, focusing especially on their expressions in
school. We also have reflected on the school as a powerful space for confronting
homophobia and how this institution can eventually also become a space for violence
Finally, the study also focused on understanding struggling strategies and homophobia
conflict. Hence, four sessions of conversation were held with teachers who identified
themselves as gays and who work in the basic education. The selection of the teachers who
participated of the r4esearched was based on the "snowball" strategy, according to May's
proposition, in which the first participant selected, which met the profile defined for the study
(being a teacher who defined him/herself gay in public schools of basic education indicated a
new entrant and so on. The analysis was done by Núcleos of Significação (Meaning Concept
Cell). The research concluded that prejudice and discrimination against the LGBTT
population, in most cases, result in situations in which these people are humiliated and / or
beaten, initially because their expression of gender / sexuality is considered to be outside of
the patterns of heteronormativity. This fact suggests that it is fundamental to face
conservatism, which is expressed in practices that accentuate prejudice and violence
addressed to the LGBTT population in the school environment. In this sense, when the
school does not define itself politically against homophobic violence, it can become a space
for the production of violence and a reaffirmation of the exclusions experienced by the school
actors. We have realized that the daily school life has not been conducive for teachers who
wish to have a practice committed to the transformation of reality to achieve it, especially
when they are engaged in a work involving education related to gender relations and the fight
against homophobia. We have concluded that the participants of this research as they were
classified themselves as "good students" and having faced violence in the school during their
initial school time and then as teachers, had to create tools and strategies by themselves to
face the challenges presented by the their gender condition. It is important to emphasize
that to overcome the difficulties experienced by the participants was only possible in the adult
life and that they survived in school through the establishment of partnerships and supports
(personal and institutional). Considering this scenario, such partnerships and supports were
fundamental to the participants to remain in school as teachers, developing their work in a
positive way. Thus, the results of this study suggest that it is essential that schools develop
projects, together with social movements, to devote themselves to understand, discuss and
accept differences in sexual orientation, so that these actions imply that students dropping
out of school out by fear and / or discrimination, and building professional settings in which
gay teachers also remain in school without violence / O propósito desta pesquisa é compreender as significações que professores gays constroem sobre as múltiplas violências e sobre os preconceitos vividos em relação à própria orientação sexual e suas formas de expressão. Para isso, buscamos compreender a
constituição histórica do heterossexismo e da homofobia na sociedade brasileira.
Debruçamo-nos sobre os estudos que recontam a trajetória de lutas do movimento LGBTT e
às diversas formas de expressão da homofobia, dedicando-nos, especialmente, às suas
expressões na escola. Refletimos, também, sobre a escola como um espaço potente para o
enfrentamento da homofobia e como em alguns momentos essa instituição também pode se
tornar um espaço de produção de violências. Por fim, o estudo também se dedicou a
compreender estratégias de enfrentamento e combate à homofobia. Para isso, foram
realizadas quatro sessões de conversação com professores que se autodeclaram gays e
que atuavam na educação básica. A seleção dos professores participantes ocorreu pela
estratégia “bola de neve”, segundo proposição de May, na qual o primeiro participante
selecionado, e que atendia ao perfil definido para o estudo (ser professor que se autodeclara
gay, em exercício em escolas públicas de educação básica) indicou um novo participante e
assim sucessivamente. A análise foi feita por Núcleos de Significação. A pesquisa permitiu
concluir que o preconceito e a discriminação contra a população LGBTT, na maioria das
vezes, resultam em situações nas quais essas pessoas são humilhadas e/ou agredidas,
inicialmente, por sua expressão de gênero/sexualidade considerada fora dos padrões de
heteronormatividade. Esse fato sugere que é fundamental combater o conservadorismo, que
se expressa em práticas que acentuam o preconceito e as violências direcionadas à
população LGBTT no ambiente escolar. Dessa maneira, quando a escola não se posiciona
politicamente contrária às violências homofóbicas, ela pode se tornar um espaço de
produção de violências e de reafirmação das exclusões vividas pelos atores escolares.
Apreendemos que o cotidiano escolar não tem sido propício para que os professores que
pretendem ter uma prática comprometida com a transformação da realidade consigam
empreende-la, em especial quando se dedicam a um trabalho envolvendo a educação para
as relações de gênero e para o combate à homofobia. Verificamos que os participantes
desta pesquisa, ao terem se constituído como “bons alunos” e por terem enfrentado
violências no espaço escolar durante sua escolarização inicial e depois como professores,
tiveram que forjar sozinhos as ferramentas e as estratégias para enfrentar os desafios
colocados em função da sua orientação sexual. É importante ressaltar que a superação das
dificuldades vividas pelos participantes só se concretizou na vida adulta e que eles
sobreviveram na escola por meio do estabelecimento de parcerias e apoios (pessoais e
institucionais). Diante disso, tais parcerias e apoios mostraram-se fundamentais para que os
participantes conseguissem permanecer na escola, como professores, desenvolvendo seu
trabalho de forma positiva. Sendo assim, os resultados deste estudo sugerem que é
essencial que as escolas desenvolvam projetos, em parceria com os movimentos sociais,
que se dediquem a compreender, discutir e acolher as diferenças de orientação sexual, de
maneira que essas ações impliquem a prevenção da evasão de alunos e alunas LGBTT por
medo e/ou discriminação e a construção de ambientes profissionais nos quais os
professores gays também permaneçam nas escolas sem que sofram violências
