“…However, prior research documents that law enforcement and antiviolence programs and services may be unprepared to effectively serve LGBT victims and address the full scope of their needs [ 40 , 41 ]. In addition, the extant research on bias crime victim responses have demonstrated significant gaps and inadequate services that can further victimize people a they seek assistance [ 42 ], and very few countries offer trained specialist support for the unique needs of victims of hate crimes [ 43 ].…”

We estimate the prevalence and characteristics of violent hate crime victimization of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in the United States, and we compare them to non-LGBT hate crime victims and to LGBT victims of violent non-hate crime. We analyze pooled 2017-2019 data from the National Crime Victimization Survey (n persons = 553, 925;n incidents = 32, 470), the first nationally representative and comprehensive survey on crime that allows identification of LGBT persons aged 16 or older. Descriptive and bivariate analysis show that LGBT people experienced 6.6 violent hate crime victimizations per 1,000 persons compared with non-LGBT people’s 0.6 per 1,000 persons (odds ratio = 8.30, 95% confidence interval = 1.94, 14.65). LGBT people were more likely to be hate crime victims of sexual orientation or gender bias crime and less likely to be victims of race or ethnicity bias crimes compared to non-LGBT hate crime victims. Compared to non-LGBT victims, LGBT victims of hate crime were more likely to be younger, have a relationship with their assailant, and have an assailant who is white. Compared to LGBT victims of non-hate violence, more LGBT hate crime victims reported experiencing problems in their social lives, negative emotional responses, and physical symptoms of distress. Our findings affirm claims that hate crimes have adverse physical and psychological effects on victims and highlight the need to ensure that LGBT persons who experience hate crime get necessary support and services in the aftermath of the crime.

“…Since the 20th century, homophobic violence (HV) has been a relevant issue for academicians, society, and politics (Goldberg et al, 2019; International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association [ILGA], 2019). At present, greater acceptance is observed toward homosexuality than decades ago (Goldberg et al, 2019). This is shown by more positive attitudes toward homosexuals in some countries of Europe and America (Barrientos, 2015; Donaldson et al, 2017).…”

Homophobic violence and corporality among homosexual men: A theoretical proposal.

This article deals with a theoretical proposal problematizing the participation of corporal materiality as a subject's analytical and constituent dimension via the phenomenon of homophobic violence (HV) among homosexual men. This proposal emerges from two stages: first, the identification of two gaps: the invisibility of the processes of HV in research and the invisibility of the constitutive role of the body in the processes of HV, as well as of the homosexual subject. The second stage is to cause tension between the analytical tools of cognitive social psychology and two feminist standpoints that suggest addressing corporal materiality, such as Sara Ahmed's concept of "orientation" and Judith Butler's "performativity," to examine HV processes. And then, a proposal is constructed, which gives light on the body as a materiality that empowers or depowers the subject, together with the phenomenon of violence from its shape and movement. Second, it visibilizes a HV process scarcely addressed by social sciences. Finally, this article proposes, from a political and situated standing, that future studies can take charge of HV, corporality, and the present negative consequences of this phenomenon on LGBT subjects (gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgender individuals). Public Significance StatementIn this theoretical study, we present a proposal for an approach to corporality, thinking of it through its physical structure in conjunction with movement, as constitutive of the subject, in this case homosexual, and of the processes of homophobic violence that emerge in homosexual men's relationships. This is a contribution to the understanding of the human being as well as a contribution to rethinking corporality and the processes of homophobic violence.

“…Queer relationships raise similar concerns—I return to this in the first case study. The fact that queer and trans relations are often raced and classed calls for an intersectional approach particularly as it relates to passing institutional judgment on specific relationships (Goldberg et al, 2019; Mogul et al, 2011).…”

The limits of limit cases: Sexual ethics and graduate student–staff relationships

This article examines whether, and if so how, the alternative model of sexual ethics, namely, a pleasure and care-centred ethic of embodied and relational sexual Otherness, performs when given scenarios or case studies that push up against its ethico-political limits. I focus here on the case of intimate relationships that emerge between graduate students and their supervisors. The two case studies examined are the Avital Ronell case and a composite case constructed from the lived experience and personal stories of women who have what they deem are/were successful intimate relationships with their PhD supervisors-sometimes resulting in marriage. Following a critique of sexual consent, the article engages in a close critical analysis of each case in line with the pleasure and care-centered ethic of embodied and relational sexual Otherness and, in doing so, engages with issues of power, ethicality, pleasure, justice, and gender norms before offering ways forward.
