Özet

Bu çalışma, LGBT bireylerin damgalanma deneyimlerinin derinlemesine bir analizini içeren fenomenolojik nitel bir çalışmadır. LGBT bireylerle kartopu örnekleme yöntemiyle iletişime geçilmiştir. 33 katılımcıdan veriler, fenomenolojik görüşme tekniği ve yarı yapılandırılmış anketler kullanılarak yüz yüze derinlemesine görüşmelerle toplanmıştır. Katılımcıların damgalanma deneyimlerinin içerik analizi, üç tema ve dört alt tema olarak belirlenmiştir: 'LGBT olmak ötekilik, rol yapma, dolapta yaşam, kendini damgalama, çözülmesi gereken bir sorun gibi hissetmek. LGBT bireyler yoğun bir damgalanma yaşamakta, şiddete maruz kalmakta ve hasta, sapık veya tehlikeli olarak algılanmaktadır. LGBT bireyler kendilerini damgalamayı da deneyimler. LGBT bireyler öteki değilmiş gibi davranır fakat gizli bir hayat yaşarlar. Bu çalışmada, aile ve toplumdan zarar gören katılımcıların damgalanmaya maruz kaldıkları veya bu damgalamayı içselleştirdikleri, ısrarlı ve gizli bir hayat yaşadıkları tespit etmiştir.
