AbstractDrawing on 90 interviews with men who identify as bisexual from London, Los Angeles and New York, this article examines how bisexual men from three different age cohorts remember first experiencing bisexuality, how they sexually identify today, and how this is changing with younger groups of men. By using an innovative recruitment strategy, the majority of participants are not affiliated with bisexual community groups or counseling services. Thus, it provides insight into how bisexuals outside of these specific institutional settings feel about their sexual identities. Findings support Savin-Williams's (2005) contention that sexual identities are becoming less central to the lives of younger generations,

“…The literature suggests that the psychological impact of microagressions for SGM groups includes chronic stress, anxiety, depression, and lowered self-esteem, to name a few (Nadal, Rivera & Corpus, 2010). In evaluating differences in the experiences of microaggressions among bisexuals and homosexuals, Sarno and Wright (2013) found significant differences between homosexuals and bisexuals for different types of microaggressions (e.g., assumed to be straight). Bisexuals had more difficulty than their homosexual counterparts with internalized homophobia, biphobia, and identity confusion.…”

“…Bisexuals may be at a higher risk than heterosexual individuals and, in some cases, at a higher risk than gay and lesbians for health and mental health problems, higher rates of mental health service utilization, substance use, as well as suicidality (e.g., Bostwick & Hequembourg, 2014;Case et al, 2004;Diamant & Wold, 2003;Jorm, Korten, Rodgers, Jacomb, & Christensen, 2002;Kerr, Santurri, & Peters, 2013;Ross et al, 2010;Sarno & Wright, 2013;Tjepkema, 2008). Meyer (1995) posits that such disparities are often attributed to stressors related to minority status, including experiences of prejudice and discrimination.…”

“…In such a context, the gay subject cannot make proper sense of his sexuality, owing to the fact that gay people as such were prevented from making a full contribution to collective resources for social meaning, with the result that the forms of understanding available for making sense of homosexuality were crucially uninformed and distorted. (p. 70) Similarly, bisexuals can experience testimonial and hermeneutical injustice in society (e.g., Bostwick & Hequembourg, 2014;Ross et al, 2010;2016;Sarno & Wright, 2013, which may be addressed through various methods in social work research and practice).…”

“…La recherche sur les antécédents et les conséquences des MAHT est encore à un stade embryonnaire (Bostwick et Hequembourg, 2014 ;Platt et Lenzen, 2013 ;Rivera, Nadal et Fisher, 2012 ;Sarno et Wright, 2013 ;Shelton et Delgado-Romero, 2011). Cependant, des études sur les micro-agressions envers les minorités ethnoculturelles montrent leur impact sur la productivité au travail ainsi que sur la santé psychologique et physique, puisqu'elles créent des environnements de travail hostiles et épuisent les ressources cognitives des victimes (p. ex.…”

Malgré les avancées législatives en matière d’égalité au travail pour les minorités sexuelles et de genre (MSG), les données disponibles permettent de constater la persistance des discriminations en milieu de travail envers les personnes lesbiennes, gaies et bisexuelles, et surtout, envers les personnes transsexuelles/transgenres. Cet article, basé sur une revue de la littérature, explore les liens entre les différents vécus de discrimination en milieu de travail et leurs impacts sur la santé mentale chez les MSG et chez différentes sous-populations : hommes ayant des relations sexuelles avec d’autres hommes, femmes non hétérosexuelles, parents lesbiennes et gais, et personnes trans. De plus, l’article explore certains facteurs de protection et de risque individuels et systémiques qui interviennent dans cette relation, entre autres le dévoilement de l’orientation sexuelle ou de l’identité de genre et le soutien organisationnel. Finalement, la littérature sur la discrimination en milieu de travail et la santé mentale des MSG met en lumière l’importance, dans le contexte actuel, des approches intersectionnelles et des études sur les micro-agressions. Pour terminer, l’article discute les implications pour les milieux de pratique, de recherche et de travail tout en formulant plusieurs recommandations.Despite legislative advances in terms of workplace equality for sexual and gender minorities (SGM), available data ascertains the persistence of workplace discrimination of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and especially of transgender/transsexual employees. This article, based on an extensive literature review, explores the relationship between different types of workplace discrimination experiences and their impacts on the mental health of SGM and of different sub-populations: men who have sex with men, non-heterosexual women, lesbian and gay parents, and trans people. Furthermore, the article explores certain individual and systemic protection and risk factors that have an impact on this relationship, such as coming-out at work and organisational support. Finally, the existing literature on workplace discrimination and mental health of sexual and gender minorities highlights the importance, in the current legal and social context, of intersectional approaches and of research on homo- and trans-negative microaggressions. The article ends with a discussion on the implications for practice, research, and workplace settings, as well as with several recommendations for these settings
