摘要

本文探讨了部分非洲国家的女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人、双性人或同性恋者(LGBTIQ+)在法律、卫生和教育部门以及更广泛的社会中的多方面经历。报告进一步强调了为解决包容性和社会不公正问题所做的努力。在选定的非洲国家(如加纳、纳米比亚、肯尼亚和乌干达),与 LGBTIQ+ 相关的活动在宪法上是非法的,导致社会歧视或刑事定罪。各种机构中的歧视和污名化现象助长了仇视同性恋的情绪、LGBTIQ+人群的自我伤害和排斥。南非和莫桑比克等著名国家已将同性关系非刑罪化,但这并不一定能阻止整个非洲大陆持续存在的仇视同性恋、社会疏远和歧视事件。本文运用了同性恋理论和性少数群体压力理论作为背景工具,来阐释 LGBTIQ+ 在法律、教育和卫生等领域的日常经历。作为对非洲有关 LGBTIQ+ 人士的讨论和研究的贡献,本文进一步探讨了歧视、污名化、强迫性生存应对策略和立法如何阻碍 LGBTIQ+ 人士的整体社会心理健康。尽管本文的叙述主要局限于几个选定的非洲国家,但这些叙述对于具有集体主义文化取向的非西方国家也是适用的。

Psychosocial correlates of LGBTIQ+ experiences in selected African countries: Reimagining LGBTIQ+ research
This paper explores the multifaceted experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, or queer (LGBTIQ+) people in selected African countries within legal, health, and educational sectors, and the broader society. It further highlights efforts that address issues around inclusion and social injustice. In the selected African countries (e.g., Ghana, Namibia, Kenya, and Uganda), LGBTIQ+ related activities are constitutionally illegal, leading to social discrimination or criminalization. Discrimination and stigma occur in various institutions which promotes homophobic sentiments, self‐harm and ostracization among LGBTIQ+ people. Notable countries like South Africa and Mozambique, have decriminalized same‐sex relationships, but these have not necessarily halted incidences of homophobia, social alienation, and discrimination that persist across the continent. In this article, queer theory and sexual minority stress theory are applied as contextual tools to explicate the everyday experiences of LGBTIQ+ people in sectors such as law, education, and health. As a contribution to the discourse on LGBTIQ+ people and research in Africa, this article further explores how discrimination, stigma, compulsive survival coping strategies, and legislation impede the overall psychosocial wellbeing of LGBTIQ+ people. Although this paper's narrative is primarily restricted to a few selected African countries, the narratives are relatable to non‐Western states with collectivist cultural orientations.
