Overlapping Conservative Fears: The Condemnation of Intersectionality and LGBTQ Issues in Online Conservative News Media
Intersectionality and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) issues have a significant and overlapping history. However, little is known concerning how adversarial arenas, such as online conservative news media, may condemn intersectionality and LGBTQ issues simultaneously. Using grounded theory methods, I examined how 427 online conservative news media reports, from nine widely searched websites in the U.S., linked intersectional…
Condemning Intersectionality: Online Conservative News Media and Intersectional Panic
Research has increasingly drawn attention to the role of online conservative news media in propagating disinformation and reinforcing social inequalities. Scholarship, however, has yet to explore how these media represent intersectionality. Using a grounded theory approach, I examined how 427 online conservative news reports, from nine widely searched websites in the U.S., portrayed intersectionality. The authors of the reports employed a complex…
Constructing hierarchies of victimhood: Queer male survivors' evaluations of sexual assault survivors
The author employs a critical sexualities approach and draws on feminist theories of sexual assault to examine queer male survivors’ constructions of hierarchies of victimhood. Results, based on in-depth interviews conducted with 60 queer male survivors, reveal that participants most commonly responded to questions concerning hierarchies of victimhood by arguing that sexual assault is taken more seriously when it happens to women than to men. The…
Racializing Emasculation: An Intersectional Analysis of Queer Men's Evaluations of Sexual Assault
This article focuses on how 60 queer men perceived emasculation in relation to their experiences of sexual assault, drawing particular attention to racial and ethnic differences. While previous scholarship has focused primarily on gender, the author of this article uses an intersectional approach to explore queer men's narratives. Results demonstrate that queer men of color with intra-racial experiences of assault typically denied feelings of ema…
An Intersectional Analysis of LGBTQ Online Media Coverage of the Pulse Nightclub Shooting Victims
This study illustrates the radical potential of intersectionality to offer a more deeply critical analysis of hierarchies in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) communities. The author examines how 377 reports from the five most-trafficked LGBTQ Web sites represented victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, FL. Findings support previous scholarship that has emphasized Latinx exclusion, as the articles generally faile…
Omar Mateen as US citizen, not foreign threat: Homonationalism and LGBTQ online representations of the Pulse nightclub shooting
This article focuses on how 377 reports from popular lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) websites represented Omar Mateen, the shooter of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida, drawing particular attention to the exclusion of Mateen's native-born status. Based on a grounded theory analysis of the five most-trafficked LGBTQ websites, results demonstrate that the reports generally decontextualized Mateen from his …
The Disregarding of Heteronormativity: Emphasizing a Happy Queer Adulthood and Localizing Anti-Queer Violence to Adolescent Schools
One Day I'm Going to be Really Successful: The Social Class Politics of Videos Made for the 'It Gets Better' Anti-Gay Bullying Project
The author examines the 'It Gets Better' (IGB) anti-gay bullying project, focusing particular attention on social class narratives in videos made for the campaign. Results, based on a content analysis of 128 videos, indicate that individuals most commonly began by describing negative experiences during adolescence before shifting to a narrative of progress, emphasizing how their life had improved since high school. In doing so, the makers of the …

Sexual Orientation and Fear at Night: Gender Differences Among Sexual Minorities and Heterosexuals
Using data from the 2000-2010 General Social Survey, a nationally representative sample of 5,086 adults in the United States, the authors examine sexual orientation and gender differences in reports of being afraid to walk alone at night. Results indicate that sexual minorities are significantly more likely to report fear at night than heterosexuals, and women are significantly more likely to report such fear than men. Further, our findings sugge…
An Intersectional Analysis of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) People's Evaluations of Anti-Queer Violence
The author uses an intersectionality framework to examine how lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people evaluate the severity of their violent experiences. Previous research focusing on the severity of anti-LGBT violence has given relatively little attention to race, class, and gender as systems of power. In contrast, results from this study, based on 47 semi-structured, in-depth interviews, reveal that Black and Latino/Latina respond…

Evaluating the Severity of Hate-motivated Violence: Intersectional Differences among LGBT Hate Crime Victims
This article employs an intersectional approach to examine the ways in which lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people evaluate the severity of hate-motivated violence. Previous studies of LGBT hate crime victims have typically focused on the psychological effects of violence. In contrast, this article explores the sociological components of hate crime by comparing the perceptions of poor and working-class LGBT people of colour with th…
She acts out in inappropriate ways: Students' Evaluations of Violent Women in Film
This qualitative research project examines the ways in which a sample of film viewers used gender ideology to evaluate, interpret, and understand violent female characters. The film Girls Town (1996) was shown to 22 students. After viewing the film, participants completed a six-page questionnaire in which they were asked to identify their favorite and least favorite character and to describe their reasons for liking or disliking the character. Re…
