Han cross gay

I am happy to be in a generation where Asian American actors and actresses are being seen and heard more and more. I am a gay Asian male, but I feel that the way straight Asian men and gay Asian men are objectified is relatively the same.

It is not my orientation but rather more my race that affects how I feel about being objectified. The latest posts from @HanCrossXXX. In recent years, there are more and more gay Asian performers in the adult industry, and many have been successful in white-centered workspaces. In doing this series I am reminded of my own residual sexual repression and shame, even though I have been out for many decades and have a spouse of the same sex.

Sexual identity is a significant risk factor for triggering symptoms of depression, as well as for suicide attempts in lesbian, gay and bisexual LGB population compared to the heterosexual population.

To the best of our knowledge, data on the mental health of LGB persons in Serbia are lacking, and this is the first study to address this problem. The aim of the study was to examine the association between selected determinants and depression, and selected determinants and suicide attempts in LGB and heterosexual populations in the Republic of Serbia, as well as, their differences.

We conducted a cross-sectional study in of heterosexual and LGB respondents using the "snowball sampling" method. We used linear regression analyses to investigate the relationship between socio-demographic variables and different sexual identity categories with PHQ-9 scores. We assessed associations between suicide attempts, and socio-demographic characteristics, sexual identity, depression, and suicidal thoughts using logistic regression.

Depression symptoms were higher in female relative to male participants, in participants who were single, divorced or widowed in comparison to currently married, among people with a middle level of education compared to highly educated, and in respondents identified as bisexual or homosexual in comparison to heterosexual. The present study showed that LGB persons in Serbia have significantly more symptoms of depression and suicide attempts compared to heterosexuals.

Public health interventions should focus on the early detection of depression and on overcoming prejudicial and discriminatory attitudes. Also, intervention should emphasize that homosexuality and bisexuality are normal, equal and morally acceptable expressions of human sexuality.

According to the WHO, one in four people will develop a mental health problem in their lifetime, whereas over million people are currently suffering from depression [ 1 ].

It is predicted that by depression will be the most common cause of morbidity in the world, which indicates an ever-growing need for a more systematic approach to mental health improvement and protection [ 2 ]. According to a Serbian National Health Survey from , 4. Depression is the main cause of close to Suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth and the highest suicide rates are found in vulnerable groups exposed to discrimination [ 4 ].

Results from multiple studies indicated that the lesbian, gay, and bisexual LGB population is more prone to developing mental health problems, compared to the heterosexual population, because of chronic exposure to damaging effects of homophobia, heterosexism, prejudices, stigma and discriminatory attitudes held by the dominant heterosexual population [ 5 — 8 ].

They also face a higher prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders, higher risk for poor mental health, and higher rates of suicide attempts [ 5 ]. Studies showed that depression is influenced by numerous socio-demographic determinants and is more common in females, young people, those not married or living with a partner, as well as among people with lower educational attainment [ 10 — 12 ].

Conversely, suicide rates are higher in males [ 12 ]. The strongest predictor of suicide is a previous suicide attempt [ 4 ], whereas the most significant risk factor is an unrecognized or untreated mental health issue [ 13 ]. Sexual identity is a significant risk factor for triggering symptoms of depression [ 9 , 14 ], as well as for suicide attempts [ 15 ] in LGB compared to the heterosexual population.

Studies have found a higher prevalence of suicide attempts among LGB persons, although evidence is not conclusive [ 7 , 16 ]. Young homosexual and bisexual persons have a two times higher risk of suicide attempts than their heterosexual peers [ 17 ]. In Serbia, LGB relationships are not legally regulated. Significant physical and verbal violence, as well as, high rates of homophobia are present in public discourse [ 6 ].

These factors consequently make LGB relationships and persons nearly invisible. The non-governmental human rights organization Amnesty International, identified Serbia as a country where national legislation often fails to meet international standards. Further, when legislation does meet international standards, it is often poorly implemented. Government institutions demonstrate a marked lack of will to tackle homophobia and transphobia to protect LGB individuals and organizations from discrimination.

Both male and female same-sex sexual activities are legal, and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in areas such as employment, education, media, etc.
