* queer development studies *
Around the world lbian, gay, bisexual, trans, tersex and queer dividuals are subjected to vlence and timidatn based on their real or perceived sexualy, genr inty or exprsn. For example, people who intify as lbian, gay, bisexual, or another sexual mory inty (e. Acrdg to Sigmund Frd’s theory of psychosexual velopment, humans were nately bisexual and beme heterosexual or homosexual based on childhood experienc wh parents (Frd, 1905).
Frd theorized that homosexualy was a rult of problems that arise durg psychosexual velopment, such as boys beg overly attached to and intifyg wh their mother stead of their father, feelg tense stratn anxiety that leads boys to reject women bee they are “strated, ” and narcissistic self-obssn that leads boys to choose an object of attractn that rembl themselv (Lew, 1988). In later wrgs, Frd (1935) asserted that homosexualy was not a “vice, ” “gradatn, ” or “illns.
” Rather, he seemed to view homosexualy as an atypil variatn sexualy due to unrolved trapsychic nflicts durg childhood psychosexual velopment.
This paper is a systematic review and meta-analysis on sexual orientatn inty velopment ton among people who are lbian, gay, bisexual, or another sexual mory inty (LGB+). Common ton measured the 30 studi reviewed were beg aware of queer attractns, qutng one’s sexual orientatn, self-intifyg as LGB+, g out to others, engagg sexual activy, and iatg a romantic relatnship. Milton occurred different sequenc, although attractn was almost always first, often followed by self-intifitn and/or sexual activy; g out and iatg a romantic relatnship often followed the ton. Meta-analysis rults showed that the mean effect siz and 95% nfince tervals varied by tone: attractn [Mage=12.7 (10.1, 15.3)], qutng one’s orientatn [Mage=13.2 [12.8, 13.6]), self-intifyg [Mage=17.8 (11.6, 24.0)], sexual activy [Mage=18.1 (17.6, 18.6)], g out [Mage=19.6 (17.2, 22.0)], and romantic relatnship [Mage=20.9 (13.2, 28.6)]. Nohels, rults also showed substantial heterogeney the mean effect siz. Addnal meta-analys showed that tone timg varied by sex, sexual orientatn, race/ethnicy, and birth hort. Although patterns were found LGB+ inty velopment, there was nsirable diversy tone trajectori. * queer development studies *
Psychoanalysts who followed Frd, cludg Sandor Rado, Irvg Bieber, and Charl Soris, took pathologil views regardg homosexualy and asserted that homosexualy uld be cured through psychoanalysis (Drcher, 2015). Bieber (1962, 1967, 1969) claimed that male homosexualy was ed by boys havg a posssive and overly volved mother, as well as a hostile or distant father; the dynamics led boys to bond wh their mother and prevented them om velopg their masculy, which led him to effemate homosexualy. For female homosexualy, Bieber (1967, 1969) claimed was ed by var parent-child relatnship dynamics, such as mothers beg overly rejectg and cril of their dghters, showg ltle warmth and affectn; this, bed wh “femizg” behavrs, such as not drsg their dghter pretty cloth and not teachg her okg and hoekeepg skills, ntributed to homosexualy.
Bieber (1962) also claimed that 27% of the patients his clil study were cured of their homosexualy. Soris (1968) also mataed that homosexualy was an “illns” and “perversn” (p.
Soris (1978) found a 44% succs rate curg patients of their homosexualy. Soris also helped found the Natnal Associatn of Rearch and Therapy of Homosexualy, which stated that “homosexualy is a treatable velopmental disorr” (as ced Mondimore, 1996, p. The pathologil views of homosexualy supplanted Frd’s theori and domated psychology om the 1940s to the 1970s.

Homosexualy was classified as an illns 1952 wh the ial publitn of the Diagnostic and Statistil Manual of Mental Disorrs (DSM). Counterg the psychopathology perspective was the work of Aled Ksey, which forward that homosexualy was a normal variatn human sexualy. Unlike prr psychoanalytic studi, Ksey and his lleagu ed non-psychiatric sampl and found that homosexualy was not unmon among men and women the Uned Stat (Ksey et al., 1948, 1953).
Likewise, the work of Evelyn Hooker was also signifint unterg the abnormaly narrative of homosexualy. Hooker (1957) gathered psychologil tt rults om heterosexual and gay men livg the muny and then asked psychologists to appraise their psychologil adjtment whout knowg the participants’ sexual orientatns. The psychologists classified the heterosexual and gay participants to equal levels of mental adjtment and they uld not distguish which participants were gay or heterosexual based on the tt rults.
Hooker nclud that homosexualy was not herently psychopathologil. In 1973, members of the Amerin Psychiatric Associatn voted on the removal of homosexualy om the DSM, which succeed by a narrow majory of 58% (Drcher, 2015).
