Abstract
The current research investigated the endorsement of hegemonic masculinity, sexism, and homophobia, and the perceptions of discrimination, among samples of heterosexual male and female, and LGB students who had entered into traditionally male-dominated and female-dominated fields of study. Specifically, students from vocational and educational training in Swiss upper-secondary schools were recruited. Results revealed that adherence to hegemonic masculinity, sexism, and homophobia is higher in male-dominated fields of study (vs. female-dominated). Furthermore, heterosexual female and LGB students enrolled in male-dominated fields of study have been found to experience and anticipate more discrimination than heterosexual male students. Implications of these results are discussed.

Das sozialpsychologische Konzept internalisierter Homophobie ist vielfach präsent in Wissenschaft, Psychotherapie und politischem Aktivismus. Es erklärt psychische Belastungen Schwuler und Lesben durch die Übernahme abwertender gesellschaftlicher Werthaltungen und Stereotype. Damit assoziierte Folgen seien verminderter Selbstwert, Beziehungsprobleme, sexuelle Risikopraxen bis hin zur Suizidalität. Der Beitrag rekonstruiert dieses wissenschaftliche Konzept ausgehend von den verwendeten Messskalen. Die Operationalisierungen der gesellschaftlichen Beschädigung setzen ex negativo ein gesundes homosexuelles Subjekt voraus und vermessen dessen (in)kohärentes Selbst anhand der Integration lesbischer bzw. schwuler Identität. Indikator dafür seien der unerschrockene Wunsch nach einem Coming-out, der Stolz auf die eigene Sexualität und die Bewahrung der erwarteten Eigengruppe. Derartige Selbstverhältnisse bilden die politische Vision des wissenschaftlichen Diskurses und den Horizont der anvisierten, individuell zu verantwortenden Emanzipation. ; The social psychological concept of internalized homophobia is frequently featured in science, psychotherapy and political activism. It aims to explain psychic distress in gay men and lesbian women through their internalization of negative values and stereotypes. Possible consequences could involve a diminished self-esteem, relationship problems, sexual risk-taking and suicidal tendencies. The article reconstructs this scientific concept based on the measuring scales in use. These operationalizations of the societal damage presuppose ex negativo a sound homosexual subject and gauge its (in)coherent self, based on the integration of a lesbian or gay identity. The bold wish of a Coming-out, the pride in one's own sexual identity and the protection of the homosexual in-group are used as indicators of this integration. These relations to the self frame the political goals of scientific discourse and its emancipatory vision, for which each subject is individually responsible.

Abstract
This article analyzes how the Justice and Development Party's (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi; AKP) 2023 election propaganda utilized political homophobia as a populist tool to construct and reinforce political antagonisms and carry out a crisis-driven politics in search of continued hegemony. Relying on critical discourse analysis of qualitative data, it demonstrates that during the 2023 election period the AKP's antagonistic operationalization of anti-LGBTI+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex) discourse unfolded in three modalities: as a culturalist rhetoric and a nativist technology of othering at the intersection of Islam and anti-genderism; as a tool of defining and vilifying political opponents as "inner enemies"; and as a policy perspective and path towards legal action and institutionalization of political homophobia. Within this frame, the article demonstrates that the gendered performance of crisis-driven politics is a core mechanism of the current democratic erosion in Turkey. It argues that homophobic propaganda is a key tool for the AKP not only to enact the processes of othering through fearmongering and scapegoating, but also to restructure politics through crisis-driven imaginaries, post-truth epistemologies, and emergency legislation that lacks political responsiveness.

AbstractWhat relationships do same‐sex parent families foster daily at school? Do they feel as welcome as any other family? Up until now, few studies exist on this subject, not only in France but internationally. The objective of this paper is therefore to rectify this lack through exploring the relationships that lesbian‐parented and gay‐parented families foster with educational establishments. Qualitative and quantitative data analysis of the DEVHOM study reveals that these parents deploy a certain number of strategies with the aim of preventing homophobia to which they or their child could fall victim. These strategies are based on: (1) a well‐considered choice of school; (2) controlled strategies of exposure; and (3) active participation in school life. Certain moments in school life are critical when it comes to dealing with parents and teaching staff (the election of parent representatives, administrative registration, "mother's day, father's day"). All the strategies put in place by same‐sex parents seem to prove effective as these parents feel little discrimination and consider that their children foster a positive relationship with their school.
