“…Our findings indicate that many LGBTQ young people's needs are not being adequately met by existing services across Sussex, and that this is compounded in part both by their invisibility and the normalization of homophobic language and bullying, which results in incidents not being reported to the appropriate authorities. Such findings resonate with recent empirical research investigating the bullying of LGBTQ youth (e.g., Birkett, Espelage, & Koenig, 2009;Mishna, Newman, Daley, & Solomon, 2009;Poteat & Rivers, 2009;see also Mishna, 2004).…”

“…Similarly, others have also argued for the necessity of tailored social and institutional level initiatives. Mishna et al (2009) and Poteat and Rivers (2010) argue that individual initiatives are not only likely to be ineffective but they may even contribute to the problem if LGBTQ youth become identified as the locus of the problem, and argue instead for the value of multilevel (including institutional level) interventions that include and/or focus on families, schools, cultural norms, exclusionary policies, and so on.…”

This qualitative study explores the experiences and support needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) young people living in Sussex (UK), and the associated training needs of community practitioners working with LGBTQ young people. The aims were to explore the experiences of young people including bullying, ‘‘coming out,’’ and social service and educational needs, and to investigate how practitioners view the needs of LGBTQ young people. Twenty-nine interviews were conducted and analyzed thematically. Participants stressed the social and health impact of discrimination andbullying on LGBTQ young people as well as barriers faced in accessing services. Young people require support, yet practitioners lack the training to provide that support. Practitioners are open to this training and both groups of participants believe effective training should include youth in the development and delivery. There is an urgent need for the development of appropriate and dedicated LGBTQ youth training for all practitioners working with young people

“…Previous research has investigated bullying, such as physical or verbal abuse, with regards to sexual orientation (Berlan et al 2010, Mishna et al 2009, Pilkington and D'Augelli 1995, Swearer et al 2008). These studies have indicated that those who identify as non-heterosexual are at a higher risk of victimisation than others.…”

(2015) The lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community online: discussions of bullying and self-disclosure in YouTube videos.Behaviour AbstractComputer-mediated communication has become a popular platform for identity construction and experimentation as well as social interaction for those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). The creation of user-generated videos has allowed content creators to share experiences on LGBT topics. With bullying becoming more common amongst LGBT youth, it is important to obtain a greater understanding of this phenomenon.In our study, we report on the analysis of 151 YouTube videos which were identified as having LGBT and bullying related content. The analysis reveals how content creators openly disclose personal information about themselves and their experiences in a non-anonymous rhetoric with an unknown public. These disclosures could indicate a desire to seek friendship, support and provide empathy.

“…Assim, fica clara a limitação de dados empíricos no contexto brasileiro que sustentem essa relação entre esses dois fenômenos. Diferente desse cenário,na literatura internacional são observados dados que demonstram uma maior vitimização entre jovens LGBTs, as consequên-cias negativas dessa prática e o impacto positivo do suporte parental na diminuição das consequências emocionais negativas desencadeadas a partir da vivência do bullying homofóbico (António, 2011;Birkett, Espelage, & Koenig, 2009;Hong, & Garbarino, 2012;Méndez, 2008;Mishna, Newman, Daley, & Solomon, 2009).…”
