LGBTQ+ Muslim Experience

<p><em>The LGBTQ+ Muslim Experience</em> presents an accessible applied discussion of transformative and intersectional approaches to LGBTQ+ Muslim research training and clinical practice. The book asserts that LGBTQ+ Muslims can agentively build resilience pathways as they negotiate multiple minority identities and stressors. Through consciously recognizing the power-laden contexts of both conflict and development scholars and clinicians can partner with multiple minority populations such as LGBTQ+ Muslims as they pursue social justice and enact their own transformative development. </p><p>To this end this book aims to address four goals: (1) to amplify the voices of both sexual and gender minority Muslims; (2) to acknowledge the intersectional challenges and stressors that LGBTQ+ Muslims encounter as a multiple minority group; (3) to highlight LGBTQ+ Muslims’ relational and cultural resilience tools and (4) to introduce transformative intersectional psychology frameworks for future research and clinical practice with sexual and gender minority people of faith. </p><p>The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the <i>Journal of Homosexuality</i>.</p>
