Conservative Protestantism, Sexual Insecurity, and Masculine Discrepancy Stress
Are conservative Protestant men especially insecure about their sexual prowess and masculinity? A recent state-level analysis by Perry and Whitehead suggests that they are. In this study, we use national data from the 2021 Crime, Health, and Politics Survey to formally test whether conservative Protestant men are more concerned with their sexual abilities and masculinity than other men.

Who’s Getting the Best Sex? A Comparison by Sexual Orientation
Sexuality-Free Careers? Sexual Minority Young Adults' Perceived Lack of Labor Market Disadvantages
In recent studies, many young sexual minorities reported that their minority status has not undermined their career plans, despite the persistent heteronormativity in schools, workplaces, and family. By analyzing in-depth interviews of 34 sexual minority young adults, this article examines how they develop such a perception. Their explanations included five elements—distancing themselves from sexual minorities who conformed to stereotypes about t…
Construction and Management of Stigma Based on a Voluntary-Achieved Status
Previous research on stigma has focused on ascribed personal attributes that are either impossible or difficult to change. Less is known, however, about how people voluntarily join stigmatized groups and manage stigma based on an achieved status. This paper sought to answer this question by focusing on stigma management strategies used by a Humans vs. Zombies (HvZ) gaming organization in a southeastern university. Data were collected through four…
Does Internal Migration Impact Mental Health Differently for Sexual Minorities and Heterosexuals
Sexual Orientation, Internal Migration, and Mental Health during the Transition to Adulthood
Previous research has suggested that sexual minorities may have higher rates of migration than heterosexuals, indicating their effort to escape stigma in the currently residing areas. However, direct evidence for the migration pattern has been lacking, and mental health implications of such coping effort have been unclear. This study seeks to fill these gaps in the literature by analyzing the Add Health data, which include longitudinal measures o…
