Homophobia — wh fai, schools, muni and even doctors and unsellors offic — is a key e, acrdg to the Still Here project wh the Men’s Health Rearch Program at the Universy of Brish Columbia. As a postdoctoral rearch fellow nursg at the Universy of Brish Columbia, I work on the Still Here project to engage gay and bisexual men who have prevly stggled wh suici (or who have lost another gay or bisexual man to suici) to tell their stori through photographs. Twenty-ne gay and bisexual men have participated Still Here th far, ntributg more than 300 photographs.
Together, the photos and stori are helpg better unrstand the multiple factors that lead gay and bisexual men to nsir suici. Homophobia a mon theme. Each story is unique and we are fdg that the reasons gay and bisexual rearch participants nsir suici are varied.
Homophobia is, however, a mon theme ung all the stori and photos. Others learned to ternalize society’s negative view of gay and bisexual people. Many Still Here participants also scribed how they were nonted wh homophobia and stigmatizg attus when they opened up to talk about their feelgs to their doctor or unsellor.
