Abstract:
Long-term, in-depth interviews with 11 abused lesbians and 10 domestic violence advocates reveal how lesbian victims struggle to define the relationship's abuse, their lesbian identity, and their own understanding of gendered violence in the context of cultural and institutional stigmatization of lesbians. By understanding abused lesbians’ silence as constitutive of their definitional dialogues about their relationships and the abuse, researchers and advocates can begin to determine who asserts definitional hegemony in the relationship. The author concludes by suggesting practical strategics that researchers and advocates can deploy to include abused lesbians in domestic violence theory, praxis, and services.

Abstract:
The article by Jenny, Roesler, and Poyer in this issue of Pediatrics takes a look at a purported link between homosexuality and the sexual abuse of children. They find no such evidence. The study was prompted by the passage of a constitutional amendment in Colorado in 1992 that prohibited communities from enacting laws including homosexuals in antidiscrimination statutes. The amendment has subsequently been ruled unconstitutional by the Colorado Supreme Court, but other states are considering such legislation as of this writing. Part of the argument used by proponents of these amendments has been that children are at risk of being sexually abused by homosexuals, and therefore the inclusion of gays and lesbians as a class in antidiscrimination statutes would be hazardous to children and would protect molesters.

Abstract:
Objectives: To describe the mental health of lesbians in New Zealand, and to document their accounts of their experience of mental health services. Method: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. A postal questionnaire, the Lesbian Mental Health Survey, was distributed via lesbian newsletters to 1222 women throughout New Zealand. Mental health measures included the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), Interview Schedule for Social Interaction (ISSI), and respondents' histories of sexual abuse and psychiatric histories. Experiences of mental health services were sought. Results: The estimated response rate was 50.8%%. The respondent group were predominantly New Zealand European, highly educated, urban women between 25 and 50 years of age. Three-quarters had identified as lesbian for more than 5 years. Recent self-identification as lesbian was associated with higher GHQ score, as was being younger than 35, having a history of sexual abuse, and not living with a partner. Eighty percent of respondents had used mental health services sometime in their lives and nearly 30 percent of users had received ‘lesbian-unfriendly’ treatment at some point. One-sixth of respondents had experienced discrimination from service providers in the previous 5 years. Conclusion: While the mental health of lesbians is influenced by factors similar to those influencing women's mental health in general, because of social factors, such as stigma and isolation, lesbians may be more vulnerable to common mental illnesses. Health professionals, mental health professionals in particular, need to raise their awareness of the issues lesbians face in dealing with their sexuality, therapeutic relationships and mental health services. Increased training about sexuality for health professionals, as well as further research into areas such as stress and stigma, sexual abuse and attempted suicide among lesbian women, is recommended.

Abstract:
The dialogue between image and text in Riana Scheepers's Dulle Griet This article examines the way in which the content and theme of Riana Scheepers’s Dulle Griet (1991) interact with the “manneplot” (traditional and/or stereotypical portrayal of female characters within novels) and with the cover illustration of the book – a detail of “Mad Meg” (as she is often referred to) from Pieter Brueghel’s Dulle Griet (1562). It explores how the women in Scheepers’s short stories are portrayed – not only as vulnerable, but also as evil and corrupt. They are abused victims; but they are also tyrannical abusers. They are innocent maidens and mothers, but also lovers, prostitutes, lesbians and murderers. The way in which the gradual degeneration of the anonymous central female character relates to Brueghel’s image of “Mad Meg” on her way to the jaws of hell is discussed in this article. But the article also demontrates Scheepers’s concern with feminist issues by using the cover as an ironic “frame”, and shows that the moral decline of the women portrayed in the text seems to be as a result of the actions of chauvinistic men, who appear in different forms throughout the text. Female degeneracy can thus be seen as a survival mechanism, in a world – and a text – dominated by the masculine paradigm, the “manneplot” of traditional male attitudes to women.

Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to lay a conceptual foundation for understanding and studying lesbians in sport. To begin to understand lesbians in sport, it is necessary to critically examine the socialization process. Lesbians are socialized within a homonegative and heterosexist society, where they learn homonegative attitudes. The sport environment is even more hostile toward lesbians, thus escalating the negative impact of homonegativism experienced by lesbians in sport compared to nonsport lesbians. These reactions to homonegativism will be manifested through individuals’ mental states (e.g., low self-esteem, low confidence, low satisfaction, high stress) or behaviors (e.g., poor sport performance, substance abuse). However, through exposure to positive social support and successful role models, a positive lesbian identity will be developed. The goals of this framework are to consolidate previous empirical literature about lesbians and apply it to sport and to encourage further conceptualization about lesbians in sport.

Abstract:
Objective. To determine if recognizably homosexual adults are frequently accused of the sexual molestation of children. Design. Chart review of medical records of children evaluated for sexual abuse. Setting. Child sexual abuse clinic at a regional children's hospital. Patients. Patients were 352 children (276 girls and 76 boys) referred to a subspecialty clinic for the evaluation of suspected child sexual abuse. Mean age was 6.1 years (range, 7 months to 17 years). Data collected. Charts were reviewed to determine the relationships of the children to the alleged offender, the sex of the offender, and whether or not the alleged offender was reported to be gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Results. Abuse was ruled out in 35 cases. Seventy-four children were allegedly abused by other children and teenagers less than 18 years old. In 9 cases, an offender could not be identified. In the remaining 269 cases, two offenders were identified as being gay or lesbian. In 82% of cases (222/269), the alleged offender was a heterosexual partner of a close relative of the child. Using the data from our study, the 95% confidence limits, of the risk children would identify recognizably homosexual adults as the potential abuser, are from 0% to 3.1%. These limits are within current estimates of the prevalence of homosexuality in the general community. Conclusions. The children in the group studied were unlikely to have been molested by identifiably gay or lesbian people.

Abstract:
Research on lesbian health and health care is very limited, but is beginning to increase. Evidence of limited access to care, homophobic attitudes of health care professionals, and expected or actual negative experiences in interactions with health care professionals help to explain why lesbians are less likely than other women to seek health care. Lesbians have many of the same physical health needs that other women do, but the most prevalent topics on which research could be found were screening for breast and cervical cancer, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and HIV. More research has been conducted in areas related to mental health, such as stress, use of therapy, alcohol abuse and recovery, and violence. The chief conclusion from this review is that there is a need for all types of research in all areas of lesbian health.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between heterosexist events, internalized homophobia, and substance use and abuse among 824 lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals. Participants completed the Schedule for Heterosexist Events (SHE), Internalized Homophobia Scale (IHP), Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), and the Drug Abuse Screening Test (DAST). A MANCOVA with age as a covariate and sexual orientation as a cofactor indicated there were significant differences in how lesbians, gay males, and bisexuals experienced heterosexism and internalized homophobia. In particular, gay males and lesbians reported experiencing more heterosexism than bisexuals, and gay males and bisexuals reported experiencing more internalized homophobia than lesbians. Participants who were classified as having at least one alcohol or drug use disorder were significantly more likely to have experienced heterosexism and internalized homophobia than those who were not classified as having a substance use disorder. Implications for mental health counselors, counselor educators, and researchers are noted.

Abstract:
Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) older adults may be more vulnerable to elder abuse (EA) due to prior marginalization and trauma, lifelong discrimination, and health disparities. While characteristics of both victims and perpetrators can modify the risk for EA, few studies have focused on perpetrators. This study examined the number and type of perpetrator-victim relationships and perpetrator profiles for EA experienced in the prior year, by abuse type and sexual orientation and gender identity of the abused. Data are from community-dwelling Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging participants aged 65 or older at follow-up 1 (n = 23,466). Heterosexual men and women reported being abused psychologically and physically most often by spouses or partners. Gay and bisexual (GB) men reported being abused psychologically most often by non-family, non-friend “others”. Lesbian and bisexual (LB) women reported psychological and financial abuse most often by siblings or other family members, and physical abuse by non-family, non-friend “others”. Heterosexual women were abused financially most often by their children, and both heterosexual and GB men reported more financial abuse by “others” or friends. Overall, 15% and 5% of participants reported abuse by multiple perpetrators of psychological and financial abuse respectively. LB women experienced more EA overall (18.8%), by multiple perpetrators (31% for psychological abuse, 66.5% for financial abuse) including by their siblings and other family members. These results have important implications for mitigation and preventive measures. They also highlight the need for further research concerning sexual minorities experiencing multiple abuse types and/or abuse by multiple perpetrators.

Abstract:
Although existing literature is rich with descriptions of the process of coming out for lesbian women, the present study is distinctive in its systematic examination of coming out from the perspective of lesbian women who were sexually abused as children. Through the hermeneutic-phenomenological analysis of interviews with selected participants who identified as lesbian women, the objective of this study was to identify and describe participantsâ perspectives of childhood sexual abuse, coming out experiences, and their perception of how these experiences might interrelate. Within the complex layers that were common to all the participants, the researcher attempted to interpret and make sense of phenomena across all cases, while respecting and recognizing the meanings that each participant brought to the interview. The results of this study were consonant with findings from previous studies that suggested maintaining a lesbian identity is an ongoing task, continually informed by events and relationships that typically occur during the lifespan of an individual. However, in the course of this investigation, the findings pointed to a new understandingâ the coming out process becomes more complicated when histories of childhood sexual abuse need to be considered. While family and social factors had powerful influences on coming out for all the participants, the emotional and behavioral strategies that each woman adapted in order to cope with long-term sequelae of CSA, also appeared to have considerable impact on the coming out process as well.<br>Ph.

Abstract:
This study examines how lesbian domestic violence is constructed by various social actors from within a social representations framework. In particular, the study compares and contrasts the ways in which social representations on lesbian domestic violence are constituted by practitioners working within the spheres of both domestic violence and lesbian mental health in Quebec. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with workers from the shelter movement and with practitioners who work with lesbians. Findings indicate that proximity, either by identifying as a lesbian or by having lesbian friends or family members, is an important and central factor in understanding how social representations of lesbian domestic violence are constructed within and these social actors. The results also suggest that the silence surrounding lesbian domestic violence in Quebec reflects particular preoccupations within each group. Implications for practice research and policy in Quebec are considered in light of these findings.

Abstract:
Despite increasing interest on the topic of violence in intimate relationships, research exploring the experiences of same sex domestic violence among lesbians from "ethno-racial" communities remains considerably rare. In this qualitative study, semi structured interviews were conducted with four (4) lesbians (one experiencer, one aggressor and two community workers) and one heterosexual shelter worker. The aim was to explore the intersections of gender, "race"/ethnic group, and sexual orientation and their impact upon the experience of violence. The accounts of the participants demonstrated that converging identities and experiences of oppression, such as homophobia, heterosexism, sexism and racism, affect the nature of same sex domestic violence and negatively impact upon the conceptualization of the experience of violence. The attitudes of social workers and other professionals are also identified as being a significant barrier to the help seeking strategies of both experiencers and aggressors.

Abstract:
　　　1 January 2010 was a milestone for the survivors and victims of same-sex domestic violence in Hong Kong. After a hard fought legislative battle, the Domestic and Cohabitation Relationships Violence Ordinance (DCRVO) was extended to cover cohabitation relationships irrespective of sexual orientation. 　　　With the inclusion of same-sex cohabitants in the legislation, gay survivors are provided the same legal protection as different sex couples. It is believed that equality has been achieved for gay victims, in theory at least. Indeed, the topic of same-sex domestic violence seemed to vanish from the public sphere as soon as the Ordinance was enacted. Nevertheless, considering the cultural and social obstacles experienced by gay victims of domestic violence, e.g. social perception of homosexuality and the fear of being ‘outed’ by reporting the incidents, coupled with a lack of supplementary support services available to people with alternative sexual orientations, it is uncertain how effective this amendment will be to Hong Kong sexual minorities in practice. Therefore, the primary research question for this thesis is to what extent the DCRVO is effective in protecting in practice. 　　　This research question will be answered by a combination of qualitative and quantitative empirical research methods. This paper focuses on three areas particularly - the awareness amongst the gay community in Hong Kong of the legislation; the availability of same-sex domestic violence support services; and the subsequent complementary policies provided by the government. This study argues that without adequate complementary policies, the DCRVO will always remain to be a piece of work in progress, and not the ultimate solution for gay victims in Hong Kong.<br>published_or_final_version<br>Law<br>Master<br>Master of Philosophy

Abstract:
This is a study of relationship abuse patterns among lesbians that abuse substances. Victims of domestic violence usually do not report the crime, especially lesbian victims. Traditionally, societal norms identify domestic violence as being between a male and a female. Therefore, information describing the lesbian victim demographics and rate of occurrences are limited. Many lesbian do not go to the police because they do not feel they will be taken seriously since the abuser is another woman. In addition, some lesbians are afraid of being judged because of their lifestyle or because of the psychological affects the abuse has caused them; they feel that their situation is not serious. The lesbian population is underrepresented in domestic violence statistics. This study explores the physical, emotional, sexual relationship abuse, the prevalence of dominant and femme lesbian abuse patterns and the effects of substance abuse as it relates to domestic violence.

Abstract:
El abuso psicológico en parejas intragénero se conceptualiza como aquella violencia instrumental prolongada a lo largo del tiempo que busca la dominación sobre la pareja para conseguir su sometimiento, y que ocurre en una relación sexo-afectiva entre personas con la misma identidad de género. Este abuso sucede en un contexto cis-hetero-normativo de estigma hacia las personas lesbianas, gais, transexuales, bisexuales, intersexuales y queers que puede influir sobre la experimentación y la perpetración de dicho abuso. La presente tesis doctoral tiene como objetivo estudiar el abuso psicológico en relaciones de pareja intragénero en contextos hispano-hablantes, analizar la influencia de variables psicosociales sobre la experimentación y la perpetración del abuso, estudiar las consecuencias de su experimentación sobre la salud mental, y explorar las dificultades para identificarlo y denunciarlo. Para llevar a cabo tales objetivos, esta tesis doctoral incluye cinco estudios empíricos. En el primer estudio se adaptó y validó la Escala de Abuso Psicológico Aplicado en la Pareja (EAPA-P) para evaluar la experimentación de abuso psicológico en parejas intragénero. La EAPA-P es un cuestionario auto-administrado de 19 ítems que evalúa la frecuencia de experimentación de estrategias de abuso psicológico. La EAPA-P fue administrada a 372 personas lesbianas, gais y bisexuales o pansexuales mediante un cuestionario en línea. Los resultados muestran una estructura uni-factorial y una alta fiabilidad. El análisis discriminante permitió establecer un punto de corte para identificar a las personas víctimas de abuso psicológico. Se encontraron evidencias de validez externa de la EAPA-P. El segundo estudio incluido tenía por objetivo estudiar la prevalencia del abuso psicológico en parejas intragénero y examinar la relación entre la experimentación y la perpetración del abuso. Participaron 107 personas lesbianas y gais residentes en España. Se propusieron tres sistemas para estimar la prevalencia del abuso psicológico según la frecuencia de experimentación: detectado, ocasional y continuado. Las estimaciones de prevalencia variaron entre un 11,3% y un 56,6%. No se encontró relación entre la experimentación y la perpetración del abuso psicológico. El tercer y el cuarto estudio tenían por objetivo estudiar las variables psicosociales influyentes sobre la experimentación y la perpetración de abuso psicológico en relaciones de pareja intragénero. En el tercer estudio participaron 357 personas lesbianas y gais residentes en España. Este estudio probó un modelo de mediación moderada en que se planteaba que: (a) la interiorización del estigma sexual medió la relación entre la auto-estima colectiva privada y la sintomatología depresiva; (b) la experimentación de abuso psicológico moderó la relación entre la interiorización del estigma sexual y la sintomatología depresiva. El cuarto estudio contó con la participación de 305 personas lesbianas, gais, y bisexuales o pansexuales hispano-hablantes. Dicho estudio confirmó el modelo de moderación propuesto en que el grado de apertura con la orientación afectivo-sexual moderó la relación entre el estilo de apego inseguro y la perpetración de abuso psicológico en parejas intragénero. Finalmente, el quinto estudio tuvo como objetivo estudiar las experiencias de victimización y perpetración de abuso psicológico en relaciones de pareja intragénero. Se realizaron 12 entrevistas semi-estructuradas a personas lesbianas, gais y bisexuales residentes en España. Se realizó un análisis temático de las entrevistas y se identificaron: (a) estrategias de abuso psicológicas experimentadas; (b) explicaciones para el abuso psicológico; (c) y dificultades para la identificación del abuso. Esta tesis doctoral contribuye al conocimiento del abuso psicológico en relaciones de pareja intragénero aportando un instrumento para evaluar la experimentación del abuso; identificando las estrategias específicas experimentadas; contribuyendo en la comprensión de los mecanismos mediante los que variables psicosociales pueden influir sobre la experimentación y la perpetración del abuso; y analizando las dificultades para identificar y denunciar dicho abuso.<br>Research on psychological abuse in same-gender couples is a phenomenon that needs to be addressed because of its relevance and negative consequences. Psychological abuse in same-gender couples is an instrumental violence that seeks domination over the partner to achieve her or his submission, and that occurs within a sex-affective relationship between individuals with the same gender identity. This abuse occurs in a cis-hetero-normative context of stigma towards lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual, intersex and queer people that can influence over the experimentation and the perpetration of such abuse. This context also hinders the visibility and the denunciation of the abuse. This doctoral thesis aims to study the psychological abuse in same-gender relationships in Spanish-speaking contexts, analyze the influence of psychosocial variables over the experimentation and the perpetration of psychological abuse, study the mental health consequences of the experimentation of abuse, and explore the difficulties in identifying and denouncing the abuse. This doctoral thesis includes five empirical studies. In the first study, the Psychological Abuse in Intimate Partner Violence Scale (EAPA-P; by its initials in Spanish) was adapted and validated to evaluate the experimentation of psychological abuse in same-gender couples. The second study aimed to propose a system to estimate the prevalence of psychological abuse in same-gender couples and examine the relationship between the experimentation and the perpetration of abuse. The third and fourth studies aimed to investigate the psychosocial variables –some of them related to the heteronormative context of stigma- that could influence on the experimentation and the perpetration of psychological abuse in same-gender relationships. Finally, the fifth study aimed to study the experiences of victimization and perpetration of psychological abuse in same-gender couples and detect the difficulties in identifying the abuse. This doctoral thesis contributes to the knowledge of psychological abuse in same-gender couples by providing an instrument to evaluate the experimentation of abuse; identifying the specific strategies experienced; contributing in the understanding of the mechanisms through which psychosocial variables (some included in the model of the minority stress) can influence the experimentation and the perpetration of the abuse; and analyzing the difficulties in identifying and reporting such abuse.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the degree of substance use (alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs) among members of the lesbian community. Additionally, the investigator attempted to determine if there was a relationship between negative social identity and low selfesteem that is reflected in higher rates of substance abuse. The data collection method employed in this study was a type of nonprobability sampling procedure referred to as a purposive sample. The questionnaire was derived from instruments used by other researchers and validated by an expert panel. In order to select respondents from the lesbian population to be included in the sample, the survey was placed on a web page and posted on the Internet. Data were collected on 76 lesbian and bisexual female respondents during a seven-month period. Results from a Pearsons Correlation, one-tailed test of significance determined that there was a significant, positive relationship (pc.0001) between social identity and selfesteem. Though no significant relationship existed between social identity and substance abuse, respondents with higher levels of self-esteem reported significant uses of sedatives (pc.05), tranquilizers (p<.05), speed (pc.Ol), and inhalants (p<.05).

Abstract:
This rapid review synthesises evidence on the bilateral and multilateral donors promoting and protecting the human rights of LGBT+ people on a global scale. It focusses on those donors that have policies, implementation plans and programmes on LGBT+ rights. This review also examines the evidence on the impact of their work. The bilateral donors providing the most support for LGBT+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, +) communities in 2017-18 are the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), UK Department for International Development (DFID), The Netherlands Development Cooperation, Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad), and the European Commission (EC). Whilst the multilateral donors providing the most support for LGBT+ are the UN and World Bank. The United Nations (UN) is doing a huge amount of work on LGBT+ rights across the organisation which there was not scope to fully explore in this report. The UN Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights (UNOCHR) in particular is doing a lot on this theme. They publish legal obligation information, call attention to rights abuses through general assembly resolutions. The dialogue with governments, monitor violations and support human rights treaties bodies. The work of the World Bank in this area focuses on inclusion rather than rights. A small number of projects were identified which receive funding from bilateral and multilateral donors. These were AMSHeR, International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA), and Stonewall. This rapid review focused on identifying donor support for LGBT+ rights, therefore, searches were limited to general databases and donor websites, utilising non-academic and donor literature. Much of the information comes directly from websites and these are footnoted throughout the report. Little was identified in the way of impact evaluation within the scope of this report. The majority of projects found through searches were non-governmental and so not the focus of this report.
