The OCD Center of Los Angeles discusses common challenges seen in the treatment of HOCD, also known as Gay OCD or Sexual Orientation OCD.  Part four of a five-part series.

In our previous article on HOCD, we looked at some of the potential sub-types that appear in this condition.  While they are all treated with various Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) strategies, crippling fear can head people toward convictions that impede therapy.  Here are some thoughts about treatment issues we commonly hear from HOCD clients.

My Big Same-sex attracted Secret Self

Many HOCD sufferers, regardless of sub-type, become preoccupied with the notion that other people might think that they somehow “appear” gay.  As a result, some men with HOCD may over-attend to the way they dress, opting for baggy, neutral choices rather than fitting, modern choices that they might associate with homosexuality.  They may pay special attention to the way they speak or even the way they hold a drink, trying to eradicate any possibility that a person may mistake them for being gay.  Women with HOCD may over-attend to the length of their hair, or whether their clothes are “feminine” enough.  Both men and women

Visualizing the unequal treatment of LGBTQ people in the criminal justice system

LGBTQ people are overrepresented at every stage of our criminal justice system, from juvenile justice to parole.

by Alexi Jones, Protest 2, 2021

The data is clear: lesbian, gay, double attraction, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ 1) people are overrepresented at every stage of criminal justice system, starting with juvenile justice system involvement. They are arrested, incarcerated, and subjected to community supervision at significantly higher rates than unbent and cisgender people. This is especially true for trans people and gay women. And while incarcerated, LGBTQ individuals are subject to particularly inhumane conditions and treatment.

For this briefing, we’ve compiled the existing research on LGBTQ involvement and experiences with the criminal justice system, and – where the data did not yet exist – analyzed a recent national data position to fill in the gaps. (Namely, we provide the only national estimates for lesbian, gay, or bisexual arrest rates and community supervision rates that we know of.) We present the findings for each stage of the criminal justice system with availab

LGBT Issues and the Church: Problems With a ‘Gay Christian’ Identity

This is part one of an progressing series on problematic trends in the church regarding LGBT issues.

There’s a movement in Christian circles where those struggling with queer attractions identify themselves with terms like “gay Christian” or “gay celibate Christian.”

Others use terms like “sexual minority Christians,” “queer Christian” or even “trans Christian.”

Many who describe themselves this way – but by no means all – say they are embracing chastity or celibacy and pursuing a relationship with Christ. That is, they believe the historic, biblical Christian sexual ethic, that God created humans male and female, and sexual expression is reserved for the marriage relationship of a husband and wife.

A number of Christian writers and ministries have adopted this nomenclature, with some of them training churches and other ministries to follow their lead.

Focus on the Family does not believe these terms are biblical or helpful for same-sex-attracted strugglers. Although these groups and individuals grip to biblical teaching that transgender and homosexual lust and behavior are false, they fail to perform

New research shows almost 40% of LGBTQ+ employees still hide their individuality at work

As LGBTQ+ History Month begins, our recent research has highlighted the extent of workplace discrimination faced by LGBTQ+ people in the UK.  

The statistics come as the new US administration has rolled back federal commitments to DEI programmes, and threatened future action on intimate companies. 

The research shows that: 

  • Two in five (39 per cent) LGBTQ+ employees still feel the desire to hide the fact they are LGBTQ+ at work 
  • Over a third of employees (36 per cent) have heard discriminatory comments made about an Queer colleague 
  • More than 1 in 4 Diverse people (26 per cent) experienced negative comments or behavior from customers or clients because of their identity 
  • 12 per cent of Diverse employees believed they were fired or dismissed because they are LGBTQ+ 
  • Nearly a third of Gay employees (31 per cent) did not agree they could be themselves at work. Of these, 53% have experienced discrimination, such as receiving verbal or physical abuse, or feeling excluded  
  • Three in ten LGBTQ+ employees (31%) wouldn’t notice comfortable

    Variables with a negative impact on the quality of life of gays and lesbians in Spain: evaluation of homophobic and lesbophobic indicators to guide youth education

    1 Introduction

    The LGTB collective is a collective made up of lesbian, male lover, bisexual, transgender, intersex, homosexual and others. This explore will only focus on attitudes towards homosexual men and women, i.e., gays and lesbians.

    One of the main contributions of the 20th century was the consolidation of the welfare state, which consists in the intervention of the public authorities in the economic and social being of the country, with the aim of correcting the functioning deficiencies of the market, redistributing the resources and creating a legal system for the protection of the citizen against the severe social problems that are generated in society (Briceño and Gillezeau, 2012).

    When referring to the term welfare, it is important to retain that the WHO (Organización Mundial de la Salud, 2006), in its constitutive act of April 7th 1948, defined health as a complete state of physical, mental and social welfare, and not merely as the absence of affectations or diseases.
