Abstract:

This study is an examination of the identity formation of lesbians in sport and how lesbians interpreted the softball environment with regard to social support and the ability to be open about their lesbianism. Twenty four women on summer slow pitch softball teams, and 5 spectators, participated in qualitative interviews. Responses were consistent with a model of lesbian identity formation that included preconformist, conformist, post-conformist, lesbian conformist, and lesbian post-conformist levels. The support these women received from softball players helped them to come out to others and

Abstract:

Many white American women who came out as lesbians in the 1970s in the context of the feminist movement saw their lesbianism as part of their core identity. A tenet of that movement was that sexual/romantic involvements with men were incompatible with being a ‘true’ lesbian. Women who did were often ostracized. Changes in the lesbian-feminist community and larger society, including the viability and visibility of bisexuality and non-monogamy, have allowed some of these women to explore sexual and romantic involvement with men while holding onto the feminist aspects of their lesbian identificat

This article is entitled Becoming Lesbians: A Symbolic Interactionism Study of Lesbian Identity (Case Study in the City of Surabaya). Researchers focus on lesbian individuals not on the lesbian community. The problem raised by the researcher is how the whole process of choosing someone to be a lesbian and the symbols used for interaction with other lesbians. The purpose of this study is to know how a person chooses his life as a lesbian and to find out the symbols used to interact with lesbians.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to observe how the cohabiting lesbian earnings differential in the USA has changed since the early 2000s, a time period during which the lesbian, gay and bisexual rights movement has been very successful. Design/methodology/approach The author analyzes the 2012–2017 American Community Survey using Mincer-style income regressions. Findings The author finds that cohabiting lesbians earn approximately 11 percent less than married heterosexual women. The earnings penalty has emerged as a result of the disproportionately large penalty young lesbians’ experience.

This essay examines two tendencies in lesbian ethics as differing visions of community, as well as contrasting views of the relationship between the erotic and the ethical. In addition to considering those authors who make explicit claims about lesbian ethics, this paper reflects on the works of some lesbians whose works are less frequently attended to in discussions about lesbian ethics, including lesbians writing from the perspectives of theology and of literature.

The aim in this study was to examine personality differences within Chinese lesbian sexual self-labeled groups.

Abstract:

Lesbian is a term for women who have a sexual orientation to the same sex. The existence of lesbians in Indonesian society is not so prominent compared to gays. Quality of life (being, belonging, becoming) is crucial in lesbians because of the position of lesbians as minorities. Homosexuality is a bridge connecting the HIV virus to a wider population. They tend to have many sex partners and often have sexual relations without status with their partners.

Asking ‘What is lesbian Sydney?’ and ‘Where is it?’, this article traces the shifting spaces and places of lesbian Sydney in the first decades after the Second World War. In the 1940s and 1950s, when camp bars were overwhelmingly male, lesbians enjoyed a very limited public presence in the city. Many women created lesbian spaces in isolation from a wider community, discreetly setting up house with a female partner and gradually building up a small network of lesbian friends. Groups of women met in each other’s homes or visited the parks and beaches around Sydney and the Central Coast for socia

This review looks at Sarah Hoagland's Lesbian Ethics from the position of a lesbian who is also a cultural participant in a colonized heterosexualist culture (la cultura Nuevomejicana) within the powerful context of its colonizing heterosexualist culture (Angloamerican culture). From this position separation from heterosexualism acquires great complexity since the position described is that of a plural self. In Lesbian Ethics lesbian community is the community of separation where demoralization is avoided by auto‐koenonous selves. Because heterosexualism is not a Cross‐cultural or internationa

- The aim of this contribution is to analyse in which way gender stereotypes derived from heteronormativity have formed again in homosexual culture, with a strong influence on lesbian gender role. Lesbian "social invisibility" and the stigmatization of women sexual components will be studied as important variables in maintaining heteronormative categories in lesbian experience. Literature analysis shows how it is still common to find lesbians who label themselves in accordance with the "butch/femme" paradigm.

If they do, what factors motivate individuals to evaluate gays and lesbians differently from transgender people?

Abstract This article investigates the construction of sex advice for queer women as it features on the world’s most popular lesbian website, Autostraddle. Based in the United States, the website is a “progressively feminist” online community for lesbian, bisexual and other queer women. Using multimodal critical discourse analysis and corpus linguistics, this article explores how representations of sexual and gender identity facilitate the construction of homonormativity on the website. It argues that these representations involve a tension between exclusivity and inclusivity. On the one hand,

Abstract:

This article analyzes the watercolor and graffiti art of the Afro-Brazilian, lesbian visual artist Annie Ganzala. It argues that Ganzala’s focus on the erotic (Audre Lorde) and the centrality of black women’s pleasure contributes to a collective healing centered on sensorial and corporeal knowledges. Ganzala’s paintings and graffiti art augment a contemporary archive that privileges sensorial and embodied knowledges as a method to decenter the white Eurocentric focus on written texts for documenting and recounting colonial and contemporary histories. Simultaneously, her pieces reflect black le

Abstract:

In this article, the author analyzes the issues and standards facing mental health counselors (MHCs) when working with lesbians and gay men who have substance abuse problems. In order to provide professional and affirmative services to clients from this population, it is critical for MHCs to understand the social and historical context of the lives of lesbians and gay men. Therefore, some of the major factors that contribute to substance abuse problems in the gay community are explored. Finally, guidelines regarding legal protections for this population are provided.

Abstract:

Media representation of heterosexual alternatives is particularly salient for young people negotiating sexuality, more so for those with limited access to other cultural resources to inform their homosexual understandings. With the centrality of media as resource in mind, we present in this article findings from our focus group research with 25 high school students aged 16—18 in which we invited them to discuss representations of homosexuality in the media. Our analyses, which focus here on lesbian sexuality, used a thematic discursive approach. We found constructions of lesbianism as `heterof

Abstract:

In 2008, a monument to the gay victims of the Holocaust was erected that paid tribute only to its male victims, reigniting a long-running debate regarding the fate of lesbians in the Third Reich. Using four previously unanalyzed police investigation files at the Landesarchiv Berlin, this article opens a window into the lives of lesbians living in Nazi Berlin. The four case studies below highlight the capricious nature of Nazi rule and the surprising ways in which discourses of homosexuality appeared in the everyday lives of prostitutes and factory workers. At the same time, they demonstrate a
