“…(Quinn & Dickson-Gomez, 2016) This authority granted to pastors may unintentionally perpetuate homonegativity if pastors teach their congregations about the sinfulness of homosexuality, especially for young people who may be more easily influenced. As one pastor explained (45 years old; Pentecostal), “Pastors are very influential and so I think that it’s important to be accessible to the people, especially the young people about sexuality and stuff like that.” Although pastors may not have complete authority in interpreting the scriptures, they are responsible for relaying messages to the broader congregation.…”

“…Yet the perceived influence of the pastor was nearly universal. The messages pastors deliver about homosexuality may become widely adopted and normalized by the congregation, including LGBT congregants and their friends and family, which may subsequently lead to stigma and homonegativity among the wider congregation (Quinn & Dickson-Gomez, 2016). …”

Young, Black men who have sex with men (YBMSM) are disproportionately affected by HIV and Black churches may be a source of stigma which can exacerbate HIV risk and contribute to negative health and psychosocial outcomes. Findings from this study are based on 21 semi-structured interviews with pastors and ethnographic observation in six Black Churches. Interview transcripts and field notes were analyzed in MAXQDA using thematic content analysis. Although pastors espoused messages of love and acceptance, they overwhelmingly believed homosexuality was a sin and had difficulty accepting YBMSM into their churches. The tension around homosexuality limited pastors’ involvement in HIV prevention efforts, although there still may be opportunities for some churches.

Abstract.BACKGROUND: Stigma and disclosure are important work-related issues for people living with HIV (PLWH). To gain better understanding and improve the position of PLWH in the labor market, further insight in these issues is needed. OBJECTIVE: This study reviews the scientific evidence related to work-related stigma and disclosure. METHODS: A sensitive literature search was performed in the databases of Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Cinahl and Psychinfo for articles published between 1996 and 2016. All studies on PLWH in western countries and investigating disclosure or stigma in relation to work were included. RESULTS: Of the 866 identified studies, 19 met the inclusion criteria: 4 addressed both disclosure and stigma (2 quantitative), 9 addressed only disclosure (4 quantitative) and 7 studies addressed only stigma (4 quantitative). CONCLUSION: This review provides a unique overview of the research on work-related disclosure and stigma, which will enable health care providers to support PWLH to make well-considered decisions. However, the available literature was heterogeneous and in most studies the topics of our interest were secondary outcomes and provided only basic insight.

“…High levels of stigma and discrimination are associated with a punitive social and legal environment for men who have sex with men [3][4][5]. Generalized homonegativity or heterosexism (both words have been used in the literature [6,7]) leads to and is reinforced by criminalization of sexual behaviors. Punitive laws incite deeper levels of stigma.…”
