AIMS: This study aims to (1) understand the pattern of living arrangement and loneliness among sexual minority people during …

In China, while it has been understood that lesbians and gay men face mounting pressure to marry and have children, there is little empirical evidence on their experiences of violence from family of origin. This paper analyzes self-reported experiences of nega…

This article aims to study attitudes of medical students of the University of Hong Kong towards homosexuality and t…
