A quebec university has received $450,000 from the Quebec government in order to create a Research Chair on Homophobia. The position will study the impact of homophobia on mental, physical, and sexual health. This is a great frist step, and I hope that other universities across Canada consider something similar. We need more studies looking at homophobia's effect on the lifecourse of queer people --- research that looks at the negative effects of homophobia, and research that examines how the majority of queer people emerge later in life without lasting effects, despite extremely challenging lives (aka. Resilience).
