Searching for a third
Despite the high prevalence of couples looking for a third, the empirical research on this population is limited. Looking for a third can result in positive outcomes for both the couple and the pursued third – also known as the “unicorn” - as well as challenge harmful mononormative and heteronormative societal structures. Yet, couples who look for a third may encounter stigma from both monogamous and non-monogamous communities. This exploratory s…
Social Correlates of Social Capital Access Among Gay and Bisexual Men in Japan
Significant health disparities exist between gay and bisexual men (GBM) and the general population in Japan and internationally. Social capital is recognized as a key factor for positive health and well‐being outcomes, including HIV prevention behaviors, among GBM. However, limited research examines how the sexual orientation of alters (i.e., possessors of resources within social capital networks) impacts access to these resources. In this study,…

Asexual and aromantic inclusion in health education
Introduction: Asexuality and aromanticism describe forms of sexual and relational diversity in which individuals experience little or no sexual or romantic attraction, encompassing a wide range of identities across the asexual and aromantic (ace/aro) spectrums. Despite being legitimate and well-established forms of sexual and relational diversity, asexual and aromantic identities remain largely absent from mental and physical healthcare education…
Bi+ Cisgender People’s Mental Health, Smoking, and Alcohol Consumption as a Function of Their Relationship Configuration
Multigender attracted (Bi+) people potentially face different experiences and challenges depending on the gender of their relationship partner/s. While those in same-gender relationships may be subject to anti-LGBTQA+ discrimination or abuse, those in opposite-gender relationships may experience greater distress associated with the invisibility or erasure of their sexual identities. These experiences may in turn impact the mental health of Bi+ pe…
Transactional Intimacy and Structural Vulnerability
Very little is known about the practice of compensated dating among LGBTQA + youth in Japan. This is a critical gap in research, as compensated dating (enjo kōsai) is more commonly reported among young people experiencing economic hardship, social exclusion, or housing instability. LGBTQA + youth in Japan are disproportionately affected by structural vulnerabilities, yet their experiences remain underexamined in national data. This study examines…
Sexual Violence and Mental Health Among a National Australian Sample of Bisexual and Pansexual Cisgender Women
This study examines sexual violence and mental health among a national sample of 1,072 bisexual and pansexual cisgender women in Australia. Differences and similarities in demographics, perpetrator characteristics, sexual violence prevalence, and mental health outcomes are explored. Bisexual and pansexual women reported high levels of lifetime (63.3%) and past-year (13.9%) sexual violence, with pansexual women at higher risk. Significant associat…

Delineating the Distribution and Impact of Homelessness Among a Large Sample of LGBTQ + People in Australia
Introduction LGBTQ+ adults in Australia experience disproportionately high rates of homelessness, a major source of morbidity in this population. Despite this, research into the social distribution and structural drivers of homelessness among LGBTQ+ people remains limited. Methods We analyzed data from a nationwide survey of 6045 LGBTQ+ adults in Australia. Using logistic regression models adjusted for age and income, we examined the prevalence a…
Exploring trans youths’ future orientations as a product of experiences of dis/affirmation
Trans youths’ future orientations are important but seldom discussed within the literature. Compared to their cisgender peers, the developmental trajectories of this group are characterised by considerable change, and highly subject to prevailing political climates. Here, we explore trans youths’ future orientations as a product of present-day experiences of identity-affirming factors. Some 1679 trans youth aged 14–21 responded to two open-ended …
Experiences of Intimate-Partner Violence and Violence from a Family Member During Covid-19 Among LGBTQ Adults in Australia
Purpose The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unique challenges and concerns regarding the potential exacerbation of violence against lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse and queer people from intimate partners and family members. The impacts of the pandemic may have been disproportionately felt by LGBTQ communities who already experienced high rates of intimate-partner violence and violence from family members entering the pandemic. Me…

Anti-Queer Violence in Australia
Anti-queer violence is a significant criminological, public health, and social justice concern. While international research has shown that LGBTQA+ people generally experience higher rates of victimization compared to their heterosexual and cisgender peers, knowledge about these patterns in the Australian context remains limited. Moreover, most existing research focuses on overall rates of victimization, rather than on violence specifically relat…

Psychological distress mediates the link between bullying and truancy in Australian LGBQ+ adolescents with experiences of homelessness
Homelessness is a high prevalence experience among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ+) youth, and potentiates both significant morbidity and future homelessness. While educational attainment is cited as a structural solution to homelessness, limited research exists on homeless LGBQ+ youths' schooling experiences. A nationwide, cross-sectional survey involving 4,370 cisgender LGBQ+ participants aged 14–21 was conducted to address this gap. R…

The present study examined and compared the importance of a variety of traits for self-perceived sexual attractiveness. Self-identified heterosexual, gay, and bisexual men (N = 1,801) and heterosexual, lesbian, and bisexual women (N = 1,092) completed an …

The findings further highlight a need to target education institut…
Health intervention experiences and associated mental health outcomes in a sample of LGBTQ people with intersex variations in Australia
People with intersex variation/s have sex characteristics determined by reproductive anatomy or chromosomal, gonadal, or hormonal expressions that are not typical of medical and societal norms for male or female bodies and are widely subjected to irreversible medical interventions at an early age to reinforce sex assignment. These interventions may be accompanied by experiences of lack of autonomy for the individual and, at times, lack of fully i…
Family Violence Within LGBTQ Communities in Australia
Background While prior research has documented intimate partner violence (IPV) and family of origin violence (FOV) experienced by LGBTQ communities at rates at least comparable to heterosexual and/or cisgender populations, little knowledge exists of how this experience occurs within intersections of these communities and who is most at risk. Methods This study utilised data from a from a large nationwide Australian survey of the health and wellbe…
