Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Abstract Uncovering the psychosocial dynamics of LGBT youth after global political equality in Portugal is the primary goal of this study. With qualitative research methodology, this study used purposive sampling techniques to recruit a final sample of 29 LGBT youth from 16 to 27 years of age. The methodological bases for this study was the identification of sources of oppression and the interpretation of content related to what it means to be young and nonheterosexual or transgender. Nine overarching themes (categories) encompassing 22 subcategories were reveled: Discrimination, Coming-out Issues, Values, Lack of Social Openness, Political Environment, Mental Health, Support System, Dating and Relationships, and Societal Characteristics. Despite global political equality, it is consistently documented the presence of high levels of perceived discrimination against LGBT youth in Portugal, indicating the need for further studies and social/political measures that really eradicate homophobia and transphobia from Portuguese society.
