“…It helps them to gain their lost confidence which strengths them to take decisions of their life. The findings confirm the perception of Manalastas & Torre (2016) about LGBT psychology in the Philippines. The findings also indicate the need for further research in the identification of the therapy effects on different LGBT (Manalastas & Torre, 2016).…”

The society has zero tolerance in the name of religion and the conservative norms do not allow these people to live their life as normal people. They commit suicide or get into depression because of unending suffering. However, the LGBTs that received counseling improved their condition as compared to those that could not receive counseling services. Counseling helped these people to come out of depression and live a normal life by accepting the reality.

“…There is a great interest in reclaiming LGBT local history and communicating expectations for mental health within one's own cultural context. Recent LGBTI treatment guidelines crafted by the Psychological Society of South Africa (2017) and the nondiscrimination statement of the Psychological Association of the Philippines are exemplary cases in point (Manalastas & Torre, 2016). In addition, activist initiatives condemning conversion therapy, such as those described in China and India, are raising awareness of harmful practices more broadly.…”

Sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE) and gender identity change efforts (GICE) occur in all regions of the world and have been documented in at least 68 countries (OutRight Action International, 2019; United Nations Human Rights Council, 2020). In a national survey of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) participants in the United Kingdom, over 2,640 individuals (approximately 2% of the sample) reported undergoing conversion or reparative therapy and reported physical abuse, forced pregnancy, kidnapping, and other abuses (United Kingdom Government Equalities Office, 2019). Religious leaders and faith institutions appear to be primary perpetrators of SOCE/GICE in Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean, but private and public mental health professionals are the most common perpetrators in Asia and many other regions of the world (OutRight Action International, 2019). SOCE/GICE by religious practitioners often involve exorcism or ritual cleanings via beatings or burnings during prayers, force-feeding, or food deprivation (Alempijevic et al., 2020). When SOCE/GICE are practiced by mental health professionals, these efforts typically take one of the following forms: psychotherapy; behavioral conditioning; electroconvulsive therapies 10

“…Distinctive geo-temporal historical events and overlapping religious influences (e.g., Catholicism, Islam, postsocialism, neoliberal policies or coloniality) shape the contours of LGBTQ-related stigma and LGBT experience (Horne & Manalastas, 2020; Maldonado-Torres, 2007; Pettit & Hegarty, 2014). For example, filial responsibility in China influenced by the one-child rule (Wang et al, 2019); the patriarchal family structure and authority of the Catholic religion in Latinx contexts (Perez-Brumer et al, 2020); the backdrop of apartheid, reconciliation, and homophobia-related violence in South Africa (Judge, 2018; Nel, 2014); colonialism and the indigenization movement in the Philippines (Manalastas & Torre, 2016); and, the effects of British colonization, including associated sodomy laws, in tension with indigenous movements in Nigeria, Kenya, and other countries in Africa (Ireland, 2013), and India (Chakrapani et al, 2020) all have shaped how LGBTQ stigma is constructed in transnational contexts.…”

This article explores the influence of psychology developed in WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich, and democratic) contexts and its relationship to transnational lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) concerns. It covers several points associated with an LGBTQ movement forward fallacy, including the limitations of identitarian methods of analysis; presumption of visibility as a necessary aspect of LGBTQ emancipation; the centering of oppression narratives in LGBTQ international scholarship; the assumption of the relevance and desirability of WEIRD concepts; and the difficulties in applying human rights discourses to achieve LGBTQ emancipation. A transnational LGBTQ psychology that honors the authentic lives of LGBTQ people and decolonizes and dismantles context-specific homophobia/transphobia-related stigma is discussed. Finally, the promising directions of transnational LGBTQ psychology through research directions, networking, and advocacy are described. Public Significance StatementThis article suggests that there are ways that psychology, with its origins primarily in Western and industrialized countries, is thought to influence and sometimes limit how we understand lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) transnational experiences. International LGBTQ concerns are complex and often impacted by regional, political, and cultural factors, and this article discusses variations in LGBTQ rights around the world, and the ways psychology can unite globally to support LGBTQ emancipation.
