“…Self-identification allows an individual to determine which labels they would like to be applied to themselves [31]. Once an individual has chosen to identify as LGBTQIA+, the inability to find peers or role models within the LGBTQIA+ community can lead many to feelings of isolation [32,33]. Given the consequences of LGBTQIA+ individuals becoming marginalized, there is value in facilitating LGBTQIA+ visibility in online social spaces such as Twitch.…”

Video Game Live Streaming (VGLS) has become increasingly popular in recent years. Twitch, one of the largest streaming sites, has implemented measures to protect and promote marginalized groups, including the LGBTQIA+ community.One example is the "LGBTQIA+" tag -a tag a streamer can attach to their steam. However, little is known regarding how the Twitch VGLS community actually reacts to this design feature and how such a feature affects LGBTQIA+ streamers' online presence and experiences of visibility. By qualitatively analyzing 381 threads and comments from the Twitch subreddit (r/Twitch), in this paper we identify the impacts of the Twitch Tag system on the VGLS community's perceptions of gender and sexuality in streaming, the streaming community's ability to find LGBTQIA+ streamers, and harassment towards LGBTQIA+ streamers. We not only expand existing knowledge of LGBTQIA+ gamers' unique experiences of online presence and visibility in streaming but also provide potential design recommendations for future live streaming platforms to better support LGBTQIA+ streamers and viewers.

“…Saltzburg's (2004) qualitative study was the first to examine the experience of parents concurrent to the time adolescent offspring were coming out; this study was then followed by a second examining parents' experience of social support during the period that immediately follows disclosure (Saltzburg 2009). In many ways, the emergent themes capturing parents' adjustment in the 2004 study closely match the progressive stages of LGB youth-identity formation (Mallon 2001;Plummer 1989;Troiden 1989) creating a parallel coming out process (Boxer et al 1991) for youth and parents. These themes included awareness of difference, knowing with certainty, detachment as they grapple with emotions, fears of estrangement, and adjustment through information, peer support, mentorship, assimilation, and selflabeling.…”

Caffeine intoxication results from the excessive ingestion of substances containing caffeine, such as coffee, tea, coca, soft drinks, and a variety of foods. The content of caffeine in drinks and foods varies considerably; for example, the content of caffeine in energy drinks varies broadly based on brand, which can range from 2.5 to 171 mg per ounce (see Reissig et al. 2008). Depending on body weight, an intake of more than 250-300 mg of caffeine can produce intoxication symptoms, such as restlessness, insomnia, excitement, muscle twitching, rambling speech, ringing in the ears, psychomotor agitation, and, at extremes, convulsion, respiratory failure, and death. Caffeine use has been reported to be increasing, possibly as a result of energy drink marketing targeted toward adolescents (Temple 2009). Excessive intake of caffeine can result in caffeine dependence, and the inability to meet that dependence can result in caffeine withdrawal and link to negative outcomes (see Whalen et al. 2008).

“…It is not uncommon for lesbians and gay men to lie about their romantic relationships, indicating that they are single, even if they have been in a relationship for many years. Youths (Plummer, 1989) and adults (Caron & Ulin, 1997) may refer to their relationship partners as a "roommate" or a "friend," rather than a "lover" or "life partner. "…”

According to the positive illusions model (Murray, Holmes, & Griffin, 1996a), people in romantic relationships are more satisfied when they view their partners more favorably than the partners see themselves. By contrast, shared reality theory (Hardin & Conley, 2001) emphasizes the benefits of perceiving a partner as the partner sees himself or herself. We analyzed archived data from the American Couples Study (Blumstein & Schwartz, 1983) to test the applicability of the positive illusions model to gay and lesbian relationships. Structural equation models demonstrated that the positive illusions model effectively explains relationships among lesbian, gay, heterosexual cohabitating, and married couples.
