This paper analyses the production of a gay identity within a context of strict gender and sexuality norms that exclude homoeroticism. Because of heteronormativity, any identities outside this system suffer from stigma. We analyse Mexico’s gay movement to understand how ‘gay’ and ‘homosexual’ have become identity categories that help understand where the gay movement in Mexico stands, and its impact on identity development. Through a literary revision and critique, we conclude that gay identity makes the stigma against homoeroticism visible, but moves towards the normalisation of sexual expression. Because of this normalisation, ‘gay identity’ must be a temporary term that should be questioned and deconstructed since it assumes that all people who identify with it are homogenous, and does not recognise sexual fluidity.

I use my doctoral thesis, carried out in the Department of Psychology of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, as an excuse to explain the importance of subjectivity and interviews in health research with sexual and social minorities. I also discuss the epistemological (or how it is that we come to construct knowledge as researchers and social individuals) and methodological implications behind the project and land on the importance of interviews to question hegemonic knowledge on the concepts of “health,” “sanity,” and “disease.”

For monosexual individuals, only being in a relationship and gender were significantly associated with parenting aspiration whereas for plurisexual individuals, gender, LGBTQ community connectedness, and internalized homo/transnegativity were associated with parenting aspiration. Plurisexual women and transgender individuals reported the lowest level of parenting aspiration, significantly differing from plurisexual men, who reported the highest. Nevertheless, the average score on parenting aspiration was low for the sample as a whole. These findings are discussed in light of Mexico’s current social context and political transformations around family and gender.

We analyse the experiences of 15 gay men reported through semi-structured in-depth interviews and how they incorporate sexuality through socialisation with primary social institutions in Mexico's contemporary educational political context. The sample was divided into three generations, and was selected through maximum variability. Results show that men incorporate negative meanings around same-sex sexuality, and themselves from institutions such as school and family. Men are able to deconstruct these meanings through interactions with educational tools such as the Internet and interactions with gay friends. These results are discussed using post-structuralist perspectives to understand how identity is fluid and changing constantly, as well as the need to incorporate stigma-free curricular content in educational contexts.

A qualitative study with focus groups and in-depth interviews was conducted with 26 young gay men from three geographic areas of Mexico to explore their experiences of microaggressions based on sexual orientation and their impact on mental health. Results showed that microaggressions are present in all stages of life, mainly with family, friends, school, and in public and private spaces, and have behavioral, cognitive, and emotional effects such as sadness, shame, fear, crying, and concealment. The experience of these events and their consequences continue throughout all stages of life. The results suggest the importance of creating inclusive contexts within family and educational environments where gay youth can develop free of discrimination, especially in childhood and adolescence.

recogidas en 17 entrevistas alrededor de la salida del clóset a jóvenes lgbt y a nueve familias de la Ciudad de México con al menos un* integrante lgbt. Usamos el concepto de violencia simbólica de Pierre Bourdieu para explicar el proceso de inculcación que establece la heterosexualidad y la identidad cisgénero como régimen sexual en la familia en cuanto núcleo fundamental de aprendizaje y disciplinamiento corporal y sexual.
La salida del clóset es el momento en que l*s jóvenes nombran un deseo silenciado o altamente estigmatizado, primero para sí mism*s y luego para otr*s. Este proceso es un quiebre frente a los aprendizajes adquiridos previamente. El concepto de violencia simbólica muestra aspectos de dicho proceso que no explican nociones como la de homo-lesbo-bi-transfobia internalizada o la de homo-lesbo-bi-transfobia como la implicación de quienes son objeto de la violencia en su sostenimiento.
