“…This is consistent with what is represented in early literature stemming from Kinsey's (1948) original observation that there is a continuum of sexual attraction rather than a simple dichotomy in which everyone is either exclusively attracted to the same-sex or the opposite-sex. Advancing beyond Kinsey's linear and zero-sum scale of sexual attraction, Moe, Reicherzer, and Dupuy (2011) suggest that multiple scales are needed to represent sexual and relational identification adequately. In keeping with this idea, two continuums were used in this study to define and measure SSA and OSA as independently operating variables.…”

Studies on faith-based campuses are beginning to offer a glimpse into the real experience of sexual minority students in these unique settings. This study adds to this growing body of information by surveying 247 undergraduates, who describe themselves as sexual minorities at 19 Christian schools across the United States. They responded to questions related to attitudes regarding sexuality, sexual identity, religiosity, and sexual milestone events. The results from this sample suggest those who attend higher education at faith-based institutions are a distinctive group within Western culture when it comes to the development of religious/spiritual identity and sexual identity. Although diversity with regard to same-sex and opposite-sex attraction is present among those surveyed, common themes exist for this unique sample of undergraduates. Implications for mainstream culture and Christian educational institutions are discussed.

“…They regard selective visibility to be a type of ‘safe and comfortable participation’ for queer users (p. 1). The main cause of selective visibility outside China is social pressure in general and ‘stigma related to heterosexism and homo-prejudice’ (Moe et al, 2011: 229) in particular. Partly because of this pressure, some queer users choose to disclose sexual orientation only to some of their friends on Facebook (Jerome and Hadzmy, 2022).…”

The growth in video-sharing social media platform use has changed modes of communication, which has helped to improve the visibility of gender and sexual minority groups. This tendency became evident given the social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Likewise, the use of these platforms empowers LGBTQ individuals living in China to share knowledge and experiences, receive social and emotional support and so on. Previous studies rarely interrogate Chinese queer groups’ socially sanctioned performance of identities on popular video-sharing platforms such as Douyin. This article undertakes a preliminary discussion of that research gap. It examines the conditions that enable such activities and concludes with a discussion of the strategies and methods that Chinese queer uploaders use in the process. Simply put, this article explores how the queer uploaders accommodate and negotiate their identity performances within a heterosexual and mainstream popular social media environment.

“…Multiple Continua Model of Sexual and Relational Orientations. One of the few scales to represent multiple ways that sexual orientation may be conceptualized by the individual, the Multiple Continua Model of Sexual and Relational Orientations is also a measure specifically designed for clinical populations (MCM; Moe, Reicherzer, & Dupuy, 2011). Five continua are assessed: desire of sex characteristics (ranging from strong preference for male genitalia to female genitalia, and male secondary sex characteristics to female secondary sex characteristics), desire of gender expression (masculine to feminine), sexual and relational interest (low interest to high interest), relational orientation (same gender to other gender preference), and community identification (low identification with LGBT community to high identification).…”

“…Authors suggest selecting five questions from each sub scale to be an appropriate solution to shorten this scale. Multiple Continua Model of Sexual and Relational Orientations (Moe et al, 2011) This scale, while not simple for statistical analysis, provides a thorough yet concise approach to assessing multiple aspects of sexual orientation. However, more evidence is needed to support its validity, and alterations have been suggested.…”

In this article, we review basic research on sexual orientation for a clinical scientist-practitioner audience. We present contemporary and evolving approaches to defining and measuring sexual orientation, and we provide suggestions for how to translate psychological theory into best practices (i.e., how to select appropriate sexuality measures in both research and clinical settings). Our focus is on evaluating currently available measures of sexual orientation in terms of comprehensiveness and feasibility: How thoroughly are components of sexuality captured and how feasible it is to use such measures in research and clinical settings? Basic research in sexuality has progressed beyond our current clinical practices and should be used as a guide to more responsibly conceptualize participants and clients. While we determine that the current options are far from perfect, the critical clinician will find that contemporary measures of sexual orientation prove more useful than more simplistic predecessors. This review will elucidate best strategies for translating sexual orientation research and theory into clinical practice and provide clinicians and researchers alike with theoretically grounded support for tools of measurement and assessment.
