  • “ It felt like walking in the dark ”

    Open AccessMuhamad Alif Bin Ibrahim, A H G Pamoso et al.ARTICLEJournal of Homosexuality2026

    The extant literature has shown that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) communities face considerable barriers in pursuing higher education and achieving their academic aspirations. To date, a critical gap remains in scholarly understandings of the enablers and barriers faced by researchers conducting LGBTQ+ research in Southeast Asia (SEA). This study aims to illuminate the challenges of conducting LGBTQ+ research in Indones…

  • Beyond Acceptance and Rejection

    Open AccessJun Wei Liow, Yu-Te HuangARTICLEJournal of Family Theory & Review2025References: 8

    We introduce a triadic caregiving model—matched care, misguided care, and withdrawn care—to complement the parental acceptance and rejection conceptualization.

Gaining insight into these motivations can enhance engagement strategies and identify opportunitie…

    Jun Wei Liow, Amirul Hakim Shamsudin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Homosexuality2025References: 11

    There are scant LGBT+ studies in Southeast Asia exploring mental health differences across multiple social identities. Using data from the Malaysian KAMI Survey (n = 718), we conducted bivariate regression analyses to investigate the association between sociodemographic backgrounds and the prevalence of depression, anxiety, non-suicidal self-injury, and suicidality. Results showed that younger participants, those questioning their sexual orientat…

This study adopted a constructivist grounded theory research design to explore sexual identity development in 36 Malaysian gay males of varying ethnicities and religious affiliations. We proposed a five-stage Systemic Interaction Model (SIM) that theorizes sexual identity developmen…

A qualitative approach was adopted to seek depth of understanding of clinical year medical students' perceptions …
