  • Why Indiana Should Pass a Conversion Therapy Ban to Protect and Promote Mental Health Outcomes for Lgbtq Youth
    EXTENDING HOOSIER HOSPITALITY TO LGBTQ YOUTH: WHY INDIANA SHOULD PASS A CONVERSION THERAPY BAN TO PROTECT AND PROMOTE MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES FOR LGBTQ YOUTH WARREN CANGANY* I. INTRODUCTION My sessions . focused on becoming a “proper woman.” I was told to become more submissive. I remember her saying, “It’s really a blessing we took you out of your leadership roles so guys will be more attracted to you.” The [other] woman focused on changing my physical appearance through feminine clothing and makeup. I soon developed an eating disorder: I don’t have a choice in attending these sessions, I thought, but at least I can control what I eat and throw up.1 Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender youth, as well as adolescents questioning their gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation (“LGBTQ”) “experience significant health and behavioral health disparities. Negative social attitudes and discrimination related to an individual’s LGBTQ identity contribute to these disparities, and lead to individual stressors that affect mental health and well-being.”2 “Today’s LGBTQ youth face a variety of stressors – harassment, family and peer rejection, bullying from their peers, isolation and a lack of a sense of belonging – that have a major impact on their overall well-being.”3 Along with these challenges, LGBTQ youth also face the same age-related developments that accompany adolescence for all youth.4 These challenges include, but are not limited to, processing and expressing gender identity, romantic attraction, and physical changes experienced through puberty.5 However, unlike their heterosexual peers, LGBTQ youth must navigate * J.D.

  • Pride Month BOOKS for ADULTS
    Pride Month BOOKS FOR ADULTS Boy Erased Garrard Conley ©2016 The son of a Baptist pastor and deeply embedded in church life in small town Arkansas, as a young man Garrard Conley was terrified and conflicted about his sexuality. When Garrard was a nineteen-year-old college student, he was outed to his parents, and was forced to make a life-changing decision: either agree to attend a church-supported conversion therapy program that promised to "cure" him of homosexuality; or risk losing family, friends, and the God he had prayed to every day of his life. Through an institutionalized Twelve-Step Program heavy on Bible study, he was supposed to emerge heterosexual, ex-gay, cleansed of impure urges and stronger in his faith in God for his brush with sin. Instead, even when faced with a harrowing and brutal journey, Garrard found the strength and understanding to break out in search of his true self and forgiveness. By confronting his buried past and the burden of a life lived in shadow, Garrard traces the complex relationships among family, faith, and community. At times heart-breaking, at times triumphant, this memoir is a testament to love that survives despite all odds. 92 CONLEY,G Untamed Glennon Doyle ©2020 There is a voice of longing inside each woman. We strive so mightily to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends. We hope all this striving will make us feel alive. Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We look at our lives and wonder: Wasn't it all supposed to be more beautiful than this? We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful, hiding our discontent--even from ourselves.

  • The Paradox Behind the Existence of Gay Conversion Therapy As Depicted in Garrard Conley's Memoir Boy Erased
    Volume 7/ Number 2 (122-134) September 2020 https://jurnal.ugm.ac.id/rubikon THE PARADOX BEHIND THE EXISTENCE OF GAY CONVERSION THERAPY AS DEPICTED IN GARRARD CONLEY’S MEMOIR BOY ERASED Sekar Yolanda Azza e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Article information The issues of minorities still become an interesting topic to be discussed Received: 12 August, 2020 since practically the laws sometimes cannot protect the rights of the Revised: 26 August, 2020 minorities. Homosexuals are one of the minority groups in the United Accepted: 09 September, 2020 States struggling with homophobia. The existence of gay conversion therapy is a paradox in the multicultural country. This research is conducted to examine how the portrayal of homophobia in gay conversion therapy and how the paradox of multiculturalism depicted in Conley‟s memoir entitled Boy Erased. The primary data of this research are the dialog and narration in the memoirpublished in 2016,which contains the irony behind the existence of gay conversion therapy. The secondary data are taken from articles and current news that relates to the issues. The post-nationalism approach, homophobia theory, and multiculturalism theory are used to analyze the data. The study found institutionalized homophobia at Love in Action (LIA) as the gay conversion therapy institution. The reasons behind the existence of gay conversion therapy are the paradox of toleration, lack of equal recognition, and the inability to provide positive accommodation for homosexuals. The existence of gay conversion therapy proved that the struggles of homosexuals in the United States still need to be overcome. Keywords: gay conversion therapy; homophobia; homosexuality; multiculturalism DOI : https://doi.org/10.22146/rubikon.v7i2.62749 Available at https://jurnal.ugm.ac.id/rubikon/article/view/62749 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License INTRODUCTION ethnicity in the United States (Jacobs, 2004).
