“…Because of the controversy surrounding homosexuality in today's society (Bayer, 1987;Eliason, Donelan, & Randall, 1992;Hamlin & Tarala, 1995;Herman, 1997;Stevens, 1992;Stevens & Hall, 1988Thompson & Andrezejewski, 1988), some occupational therapists may believe that the disclosure of sexual identity is not relevant to establishing patient-therapist rapport. In some situations, this is true.…”

Since 1917, when the occupational therapy profession was first established, the therapeutic value of occupation has been questioned, researched, valorized, and even trivialized. This article discusses one typical occupation-centered treatment, namely a community outing, the shopping spree. The purpose is to articulate the value of occupation-centered intervention and particularly (a) its importance for building rapport between patient and therapist so that genuinely meaningful treatment can be carried out; (b) its role in providing opportunities for patients to imagine futures through felt meanings and future images; and (c) its integrative qualities with respect to identities and performance components.

“…As a feminist, I felt guilty about not challenging sexism, but I was anxious about criticizing a marginalized group. These emotional tensions prompted me to consider the broader social milieu in which lesbian and gay Christians (especially Southern evangelicals) were seen as enemies of traditional morality (Herman 1997). I began to recognize that, in a society where masculinity is coded as a way to gain power and respect, these black lesbians and gay men may be using it to overcome the stigma of homosexuality (Chesney-Lind and Eliason 2006).…”

In this article, the concept of emotional labor is used to capture dilemmas of critical ethnographic research. We frame our experiences not simply as "confessional tales," or personalized accounts of how researchers experience their fieldwork, but as part of critical methodology itself. We identify three strategies for transforming our emotional labor into an analytic tool: contextualizing emotions, using emotions to unmask power in the research process, and linking emotions to personal biographies. Following ethnographers who question the separation between data and analysis, we explore how emotions and power intersected in two key ethnographic "moments": collecting data and writing the research narrative.

“…For decades, the Christian Right has amassed recruits and resources in the United States through anti-gay politics. 21 In the twenty-first century, it is using gender and sexuality as prime vehicles to consolidate power on a global scale. The ex-gay movement is a vital component of its domestic public policy strategy and its evangelical strategy abroad.…”

“…The claim that gays seek ''special rights'' is a well-worn rhetorical tactic of the Christian Right. 38 The exgay movement elevates this approach by promoting the belief that gays and lesbians are wealthier than the rest of society. Marco alleges that ''[h]omosexuals have an average household income of $55,340 versus $32,144 for the general population and $12,166 for disadvantaged African-American households.''…”

Genocidal Intentions: Social Death and the Ex-Gay Movement

Genocide Studies and Prevention

In this article, the authors contribute to the literature on predicting and preventing genocide in an international context, focusing on social death practices elaborated in articles II(b)-(e) of the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (UNCG). Analyzing ex-gay movement texts, the authors apply James Waller's theoretical framework, which explains how ordinary people commit extraordinary acts of brutality, to the rhetoric and public policy advocacy of prominent ex-gay movement organizations and entrepreneurs. Further, they examine the extent to which this new religious movement promotes public policies in the United States and globally, and argue that these policies constitute social death as genocide of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender peoples based on the UNCG definition. The authors conclude that emphasizing mass murder at the expense of social death constricts our view of genocide at an enormous human cost, including predicting and preventing mass murder, and accentuating the aftermath of genocide, leaving articles II(b)-(e) diminished, understudied, and, therefore, discounted in comparison. They suggest that revitalizing scholarship on social death will broadly enrich the field of genocide studies and enhance collective efforts to forecast and avert genocide in all of its manifestations.
