“…These laws entailed an advancement for LGBT rights, but studies on the perceptions of this population concerning heterosexism still identify patterns of felt discrimination and 6 perceived heterosexism (Nogueira and Oliveira 2010), despite the legal advances (Oliveira, Costa, and Nogueira 2013). As argued by Carneiro and Menezes (2007) and Santos (2012), the landscape of heterosexism in Portugal is contradictory since legal regulations that promote equality co-exist with discriminatory practices in daily life.…”

In the present article we analyze the polymorphous prejudice against Lesbians and Gays using a sample of Portuguese heterosexual individuals. We tested the differential importance of demographic, ideological, and psychological-level variables predicting this phenomenon. Results show that male Catholic right-wing respondents with less LG friends are the ones exhibiting higher polymorphous prejudice. Nevertheless, the introduction of psychologicallevel variables in the regression models increased the explained variance of polymorphous prejudice, above and beyond the remaining predictors. Also, different patterns of results are obtained when regression analyses are deployed at the level of the sub-scales of polymorphous prejudice. Results are discussed within the light of contemporary sexual prejudice frameworks, and the utility of results to intervention with discriminated LG individuals is reviewed.

“…This is potentially an important area for research and practice, not only because these activities are important for improving the collective social standing and well-being of sexual minorities, but also because there is evidence to suggest that activist/political participation is beneficial to mental well-being in sexual minority individuals (Cameiro & Menezes, 2007) and in young women affected by depression (Sanders, 2001). …”

The Internalized Homophobia Scale for Vietnamese Sexual Minority Women: Conceptualization, Factor Structure, Reliability, and Associations With Hypothesized Correlates

et al. 2016

We developed the first Vietnamese internalized homophobia (IH) scale, for use with Vietnamese sexual minority women (SMW). Drawing from existing IH scales in the international literature and based on prior qualitative research about SMW in the Viet Nam context, the scale covers two domains: self-stigma (negative attitudes toward oneself as a sexual minority person) and sexual prejudice (negative attitudes toward homosexuality/same-sex relations in general). Scale items, including items borrowed from existing scales and items based on local expressions, were reviewed and confirmed by members of the target population. Quantitative evaluation used data from an anonymous web-based survey of Vietnamese SMW, including those who identified as lesbian (n=1187), or as bisexual (n=641) and those who were unsure about their sexual identity (n=353). The scale was found to consist of two highly correlated factors reflecting self-stigma (not normal/wholesome and self-reproach and wishing away same-sex sexuality) and one factor reflecting sexual prejudice, and to have excellent internal consistency. Construct validity was evidenced by subscales’ associations with a wide range of hypothesized correlates including perceived sexual stigma, outness, social support, connection to other SMW, relationship quality, psychological well-being, anticipation of heterosexual marriage and endorsement of same-sex marriage legalization. Self-stigma was more strongly associated with psychosocial correlates and sexual prejudice was more associated with endorsement of legal same-sex marriage. The variations in these associations across the hypothesized correlates and across sexual identity groups were consistent with the Minority Stress Model and the IH literature, and exhibited context-specific features, which are discussed.

“…Embora tais avanços possam indicar, aparentemente, uma maior abertura para a aceitação social de pessoas homossexuais (Andersen & Fetner, 2008;Carneiro & Menezes, 2007;Costa et al, 2010), ainda persistem as manifestações explícitas de violência física e/ou violência psicológica, mediante falas e comentários discriminatórios, envoltos de preconceito e intolerância em relação à diversidade sexual.…”

Objetivou-se investigar e analisar o preconceito de médicos(as), enfermeiros(as), técnicos(as) de enfermagem e agentes comunitários de saúde que atuam em Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) contra usuárias lésbicas. Para tanto, foi elaborado um estudo exploratório e descritivo, de caráter transversal, com design qualitativo e amostragem não probabilística, realizado em diferentes Unidades Básicas de Saúde distribuídas entre os cinco distritos sanitários da cidade de João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brasil. Participaram do estudo 31 profissionais de saúde que, no momento da coleta, estavam trabalhando em uma das UBS visitadas. Para coleta dos dados foram utilizados um questionário sociodemográfico e a técnica do Priming, com questões posteriores ao estímulo. Como resultados, verificou-se que a desconsideração, por parte dos profissionais de saúde, da existência de situações de discriminação nos serviços de saúde, indicou a possibilidade de ocorrência de reforço na identidade social positiva do grupo. Já que ao negar a ocorrência da discriminação nos serviços em que atuam, os participantes demonstraram uma possível transformação na qualidade dos atendimentos, evitando possíveis julgamentos sociais. Percebeu-se também indicativos de preconceito sutil por parte dos participantes, já que, ao tentarem justificar a negação do direito ao atendimento em saúde às usuárias lésbicas, poderiam estar, na verdade, tentando suprimir seus próprios preconceitos em relação às usuárias. Por fim, concluiu-se que os dados obtidos podem servir de indicadores para gestores acerca da forma como profissionais de saúde concebem a saúde sexual de mulheres lésbicas, servindo de norteador para o surgimento de alternativas que favoreçam reflexões e transformações nas condutas dos profissionais.
