“…For example, LGBTQ participants in the present study found community and a sense of belonging on the internet and through online platforms. Consistent with findings from the literature, the internet is often utilized by minority communities in order to find connections with the larger LGBTQ community (Cserni & Talmud, 2015). Within LGBTQ communities, non-normative identities are becoming more widely accepted, and recently, spaces that are more accessible to the LGBTQ community have been established (Skirpan, 2018; Stenros, 2015).…”

The present study explored strategies that LGBTQ people used to cope during the U.S. presidential administration of Donald Trump. Coping strategies can buffer the impact of identity-related stigma and decreased psychological well-being, however, little is known about the ongoing coping strategies used by LGBTQ people during Trump’s presidential administration. This research addresses this gap in the literature. Participants included 335 LGBTQ individuals who were negatively impacted by the discriminatory policies of the Trump administration. Participants completed an online survey where they discussed the coping strategies they used during the Trump administration. Thematic analysis revealed five coping-related themes, including: (a) Coping Through Connecting With People, (b) Coping Through Self-Care and Self-Preservation Activities, (c) Coping Through Relational Disengagement, (d) Coping Through Activism, and (e) Coping Through Outness Decisions. Our discussion explores how counseling psychologists can work with LGBTQ clients to maximize coping strategies for managing distress during anti-LGBTQ presidential administrations.

“…As a result, they may be more likely to report greater LGBT community connectedness. Compatible with this explanation, researchers have posited that sexual minority individuals navigating the coming out process may seek support from the greater LGBT community in an effort to address difficulties, such as internalized homophobia, that may arise (Corrigan & Matthews, 2003; Cserni & Talmud, 2015; Miller, 2016). Further research, particularly longitudinal studies that examine whether LGBT community connectedness may decline over time once an individual no longer experiences the same degree of internalized homophobia, are needed to evaluate the plausibility of this explanation.…”

Individuals identifying as sexual minorities are at heightened risk for suicidal ideation and attempts. Meyer’s (1995, 2003) minority stress model proposes that external minority stressors (i.e., harassment, rejection, discrimination) result in the internalization of these negative attitudes and beliefs, which then leads to psychological distress (e.g., suicidal thoughts). However, the role of potential resiliency factors, such as connectedness to the LGBT community, remains less explored. This study aimed to (a) replicate previous work demonstrating that internalized homophobia accounts for the relationship between external minority stressors and suicidal ideation; and (b) examine whether LGBT community connectedness moderates these associations, above and beyond more general connectedness. A sample of 329 adults (58.4% cisgender male, 36.8% cisgender female, 2.4% transgender female, 1.2% transgender male, 0.9% gender nonconforming, 0.3% other gender) identifying as sexual minorities (86.3% gay/lesbian, 10.0% bisexual/pansexual, 0.3% asexual, 3.3% another sexual orientation), aged 18 to 74 years (M = 30.94, SD = 7.18), completed a battery of self-report measures online. Results of a moderated mediation model using path analysis indicated that internalized homophobia accounted for the association between greater external minority stressors and more severe suicidal ideation. Further, associations between greater external minority stressors and greater internalized homophobia, and between greater internalized homophobia and more severe suicidal ideation, were stronger at high, rather than low, levels of LGBT community connectedness. These findings contribute to a better understanding of how minority stress, community connectedness, and internalized homophobia may contribute to suicide risk among sexual minority individuals.

“…Although there are studies focusing on media cultures of queer identities (Pullen, 2014) and media usage/media creating patterns of LGBTI people (Cserni and Talmud, 2015;Bryson, 2007) in terms of the opportunities and threats caused by new communication technologies; gender performances and patterns on MDAs is a relatively new academic field of study.…”

This study examines gender performances and communication styles on mobile dating applications (MDAs) in the context of queer theory with the help of netnography methodology. The research was conducted with Wapa users from Turkey. Wapa can be defined as a popular, location-based, and realtime dating application for lesbians. The research examines the self-presentation narratives from the contents of user accounts and focuses on the user experiences that were obtained via online interviews. Based on the findings, this study contributes to the literature about communication, technology, and gender studies by revealing both male and female masculinity in a mobile communication environment. Although MDA technology is considered an opportunity for users to specify their preferred age range, proximity and sexual orientation, the mobile environment is also an area where stereotyping about queer identities is reproduced and circulates.
