In light of this, we have decided to continue on with other community building events to draw in the queer community and connect them in the Western New York and surrounding region! We feel that these events should interest a wide range of the community. We will continue to have game nights, but also bring in other activities or points of connection. For our next event, we will hold a poetry night on September 3rd during our normal meeting time, 5:30-7, at 31 Water St. Suite 7, Door 14, Jamestown NY. Anyone will be welcome to come and read poem whether original or not, or just to listen to others read. There will be time limits to allow everyone a chance to read, and we will allow for some mingling and discus- sion time as well. Any inquiries should go to Sheridan A. Smith, 716-490-4438 or [email protected] if you have questions regarding this event, future events, or the group in general.

Soenyun Master of Music School of Music and Dance June 2019 Title: Identity Formation and Well-Being in LGBT Community Bands The purpose of this study was to determine what relationships exist, if any, between psychological well-being, psychosocial well-being, internalized homonegativity (IH), and LGBT community band participation, as well as to holistically investigate these constructs, with identity formation, through participant experiences. Participant responses to survey data (N = 100) were analyzed via Pearson correlation. Significant relationships emerged between psychological and psychosocial well-being (r2 = .12), as well as between psychological well-being and IH (r2 = .05) at both the p < .01 and p < .05 levels, respectively. No significant relationships were found between any of the constructs with years of participation, or between psychosocial well-being and IH.

  • Intersections of Dress, Identity, and Anxiety in the Queer Women's
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Kelly L. Reddy-Best for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Design and Human Environment presented on June 10, 2013. Title: Fashioning Queer Bodies: Intersections of Dress, Identity, and Anxiety in the 4XHHU:RPHQ¶V Community Abstract approved: Elaine L. Pedersen The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship of dress and queer women and how their sexual identity influences their appearance management behaviors. I answered the following research questions: (1) How is gender identity constructed and negotiated in different spaces for queer? (2) Does sexual identity influence dress choices of queer women? (3) Where do queer women look for fashion styles and trends? (4) :KDWDUHTXHHUZRPHQ¶VH[SHULHQFHV with shopping for clothing and accessories? (5) Do queer women feel anxiety, pressure, or discrimination from the fashion system and the appearance management behaviors in which they participate due to their sexual identity? To answer my research questions I conducted 20 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 20 queer women living in the United States. After the first interview, each participant completed a short survey and took a picture of their outfit for 14 days. At the end of each week, the participants completed a follow-up interview. I coded the interviews in three phases and looked for emergent themes and patterns. Based on the results of this study I found that there is not one single way of being or becoming a queer women. Most women in the sample did not feel a strong connection to masculinity or femininity. Fourteen women explained they felt in-between or androgynous.
