“…76,77 In qualitative research, these patterns of neighborhood formation do not parallel the formation of lesbian neighborhoods. 32,33,78,79 Alternatively, declining residential segregation for same-sex couples 12 and rural and suburban neighborhood selection [80][81][82] as well as the feasibility of returning to communities of origin with growing social acceptance 83 could be different by gender and result differences in our models. Regardless of the different mechanisms, our findings show both the rate of male and female same-sex couples are associated with greater tobacco retailer density.…”

Background: Tobacco use is markedly higher among lesbian, gay, and bisexual populations than heterosexuals. Higher density of tobacco retailers is found in neighborhoods with lower income and more racial/ethnic minorities. Same-sex couples tend to live in similar neighborhoods, but the association of this demographic with tobacco retailer density has not been examined. Methods: For a national sample of 97 US counties, we calculated the number of tobacco retailers per 1000 persons and rates of same-sex couples per 1000 households in each census tract (n = 17 941). Using spatial regression, we examined the association of these variables in sex-stratified models, including neighborhood demographics and other environmental characteristics to examine confounding. Results: Results from spatial regression show that higher rates of both female and male same-sex couples were associated with a higher density of tobacco retailers. However the magnitude of this association was small. For female couples, the association was not significant after controlling for area-level characteristics, such as percent black, percent Hispanic, median household income, the presence of interstate highways, and urbanicity, which are neighborhood correlates of higher tobacco retailer density. For male couples, the association persisted after control for these characteristics. Conclusion: Same-sex couples reside in areas with higher tobacco retailer density, and for men, this association was not explained by neighborhood confounders, such as racial/ethnic composition and income. While lesbian, gay, and bisexual disparities in tobacco use may be influenced by neighborhood environment, the magnitude of the association suggests other explanations of these disparities remain important areas of research.

“…As Cresswell () argues, narratives and meanings around ‘being on the move’ are socially and culturally encoded; they are specific to the peoples and places entrained within movement and mobilities. In recent years, scholarship has been more attentive to ‘queer migrations’, although not within a mobilities approach (Knopp and Brown, ; Gorman‐Murray, ; Lewis, ). The ability to be mobile can be understood as fundamental to citizenship; some movements may be represented as authentic or real, others as transgressive or resistive, and still others as a possibility for only a privileged few (e.g.…”

In this article we apply insights from ‘new mobilities’ approaches to understand the shifting sexual and gendered landscapes of major cities in the global North. The empirical context is the purported ‘demise’ of traditional gay villages in Toronto, Canada and Sydney, Australia, and the emergence of ‘LGBT neighbourhoods’ elsewhere in the inner city. We reinterpret the historical geography of twentieth century LGBT lives and the associated ‘rise and fall’ of gay enclaves through the lens of the ‘politics of mobility’. In this reading, it is apparent that multifaceted movements — migration, physical and social mobility, and motility — underpin the formation of gay enclaves and recent transformations in sexual and gendered landscapes. After the second world war, LGBT communities in the global North were embedded in specific historical geographies of mobility and we trace these in the Canadian and Australian contexts. The ‘great gay migration’ from the 1960s to the 1980s has been joined by new LGBT constellations of mobility in the 2000s, and these have imprinted upon the sexual and gendered landscapes of Toronto and Sydney.

“…Against this background of "coming-out journeys" (Lewis, 2012), it can be assumed that gay men and lesbians who do not work in the same place where they grew up and where their family resides, are also more open about their sexual orientation in the workplace.…”

Management Research Review, 38 (9). pp. 992-1015992- . ISSN 2040 This version is available at: http://epub.wu.ac.at/4654/ Available in ePub WU : September 2015 ePub WU , the institutional repository of the WU Vienna University of Economics and Business, is provided by the University Library and the IT-Services. The aim is to enable open access to the scholarly output of the WU. This document is the version accepted for publication and -in case of peer review -incorporates referee comments. Findings -Results indicate that being in a relationship is related to increased openness about one's homosexuality at work. Furthermore, it appears that the older and the more religious lesbian and gay employees are, the more open (and therefore less hidden) about their sexuality they are. Having a migratory background is related to being more guarded about one's sexual orientation, whereas personal mobility within the country is not related to the way one manages one's sexual orientation at work. Lesbians tend to be a little more open and less guarded about their homosexuality compared to gay men. Research limitations/implications -The focus of this research (and the related limitations)offers several starting and connecting points for more intersectional research on workforce diversity and diversity management.Practical implications -The study's findings indicate the need for an intersectional approach to organizational diversity management strategies. Exemplified by the dimension "sexual orientation" it can be shown that the impact each dimension has for an employee's everyday workplace experiences and behavior in terms of a certain manifestation of one dimension of diversity, can only be understood in terms of its interplay with other dimensions of diversity.Theoretical implications -The intersectional perspective on employees' stigma-related minority stress allows a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the experiences of individuals in workplace settings. This theoretical framework proposed in this article can therefore be a connecting point for theoretically framing future studies on workforce diversity and diversity management.Originality/value -It is shown that manifestations of demographic factors that tend to broaden the individual's coping resources for stigma-relevant stressors, lead to more openness about one's homosexuality in the workplace.
