The coming out process has been conceptualized as a developmental imperative for those who will eventually accept their same-sex attractions. It is widely accepted that homophobia, heterosexism, and homonegativity are cultural realities that may complicate this developmental process for gay men. The current study views coming out as an extra-developmental life task that is at best a stressful event, and at worst traumatic when coming out results in the rupture of salient relationships with parents, siblings, and/or close friends. To date, the minority stress model (Meyer, 1995; 2003) has been utilized as an organizing framework for how to empirically examine external stressors and mental health disparities for lesbians, gay men, and bisexual individuals in the United States. The current study builds on this literature by focusing on the influence of how gay men make sense of and represent the coming out process in a semi-structured interview, more specifically, by examining the legacy of the coming out process on indicators of wellness. In a two-part process, this study first employs the framework well articulated in the adult attachment literature of coherence of narratives to explore both variation and implications of the coming out experience for a sample of gay men (n = 60) in romantic relationships (n = 30). In particular, this study employed constructs identified in the adult attachment literature, namely Preoccupied and Dismissing current state of mind, to code a Coming Out Interview (COI). In the present study current state of mind refers to the degree of coherent discourse produced about coming out experiences as relayed during the COI. Multilevel analyses tested the extent to which these COI dimensions, as revealed through an analysis of coming out narratives in the COI, were associated with relationship quality, including self-reported satisfaction and observed emotional tone in a standard laboratory interaction task and self-reported symptoms of psychopathology. In addition, multilevel analyses also assessed the Acceptance by primary relationship figures at the time of disclosure, as well as the degree of Outness at the time of the study. Results revealed that participant’s narratives on the COI varied with regard to Preoccupied and Dismissing current state of mind, suggesting that the AAI coding system provides a viable organizing framework for extracting meaning from coming out narratives as related to attachment relevant constructs. Multilevel modeling revealed construct validity of the attachment dimensions assessed via the COI; attachment (i.e., Preoccupied and Dismissing current state of mind) as assessed via the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) was significantly correlated with the corresponding COI variables. These finding suggest both methodological and conceptual convergence between these two measures. However, with one exception, COI Preoccupied and Dismissing current state of mind did not predict relationship outcomes or self-reported internalizing and externalizing symptoms. However, further analyses revealed that the degree to which one is out to others moderated the relationship between COI Preoccupied and internalizing. Specifically, for those who were less out to others, there was a significant and positive relationship between Preoccupied current state of mind towards coming out and internalizing symptoms. In addition, the degree of perceived acceptance of sexual orientation by salient relationship figures at the time of disclosure emerged as a predictor of mental health. In particular, Acceptance was significantly negatively related to internalizing symptoms. Overall, the results offer preliminary support that gay men’s narratives do reflect variation as assessed by attachment dimensions and highlights the role of Acceptance by salient relationship figures at the time of disclosure. Still, for the most part, current state of mind towards coming out in this study was not associated with relationship quality and self-reported indicators of mental health. This finding may be a function of low statistical power given the modest sample size. However, the relationship between Preoccupied current state of mind and mental health (i.e., internalizing) appears to depend on degree of Outness. In addition, the response of primary relationships figures to coming out may be a relevant factor in shaping mental health outcomes for gay men. Limitations and suggestions for future research and clinical intervention are offered.

Difficile à manier, le thème de l’homosexualité est peu exploité dans le domaine des arts. Dans la littérature jeunesse québécoise, on trouve peu de personnages principaux homosexuels constituant des représentations positives pour les adolescents. Double échappée, le premier volet de ce mémoire en recherche-création, résulte d’une volonté de contribuer à ce secteur en braquant le projecteur sur deux protagonistes adolescents qui vivent leur homosexualité en parallèle. L’un doit apprendre à vivre avec cette réalité qui est toute nouvelle pour lui tandis que le second, sorti du placard et censément à l’aise avec son homosexualité, se voit obligé de réaffirmer son identité lorsqu’il arrive dans un nouvel environnement. Leurs parcours s’entremêlent, leur relation grandit et on assiste à leurs prises de conscience, diverses certes, mais aussi complémentaires. Le second volet du mémoire, intitulé Se dire, se comprendre : l’homosexualité dans les romans québécois pour la jeunesse, sert en quelque sorte de cadre contextuel à Double échappée. Adoptant un parcours en grande partie sociologique, cet essai examine le traitement des enjeux identitaires soulevés par l’homosexualité dans quelques romans québécois. Y est brièvement analysée la manière dont six ouvrages récents destinés à la jeunesse portent le sujet, particulièrement en ce qui a trait à la prise de conscience identitaire et son expression. Cette étude se penche sur la façon dont ces récits proposent la découverte de l’homosexualité par des adolescents en s’attardant à la présentation des personnages homosexuels et leur cheminement. Il s’agit de mettre en lumière la manière dont le texte montre et fait entendre la voie/voix des protagonistes gays et lesbiens.

Esta pesquisa é um estudo transversal realizado junto a 2282 estudantes de ambos os sexos que cursavam as três séries do ensino médio em três cidades do interior do oeste paulista. O instrumento de coleta de dados empregado foi um questionário autoaplicável com 131 questões. Neste artigo, abordamos as trajetórias sexuais de adolescentes de ambos os sexos que mantêm práticas sexuais homoeróticas ou não. Discutimos as relações desses adolescentes com seus familiares e grupos de pares e a questão de sair do armário como ferramenta política. Tendo como base as concepções de Sedgwick, analisamos os momentos em que sair do armário pode ser uma entre tantas maneiras de manifestação das diferentes sexualidades em relação à heteronormatividade. Apoiando-nos nas colocações de teóricos pós-estruturalistas, abordamos também as construções teóricas e as produções discursivas sobre a adolescência, apontando novas manifestações da juventude na contemporaneidade. Por fim, percebemos a existência de amplos fatores que afetam as decisões de jovens não heterossexuais quanto a sair (ou não) do armário para além da homofobia: eventos pessoais, histórias de vida e mesmo a revelação de sua sexualidade aos pais e/ou a outras pessoas.

A gestão de energia é um dos factores chave do sucesso de uma empresa e como qualquer outro factor de produção deve ser gerido continuamente e eficazmente. A gestão correcta do consumo de energia assume-se como crucial nas empresas do sector cerâmico pois exigem grande consumo de gás natural. Também a tendência de aumento do custo do gás natural tem induzido a necessidade de minimização do consumo de combustível nas indústrias e favorecido o desenvolvimento de novas abordagens para a optimização deste recurso natural. O trabalho apresentado nesta tese teve como objectivo a optimização da energia nas estufas de secagem na Fábrica de Cerâmica de Valadares S.A. A actividade desta empresa consiste na produção de louça sanitária envolvendo um consumo elevado de energia. Realizou-se um levantamento das condições técnicas/operacionais dos equipamentos em estudo e elaborou-se uma ferramenta de simulação que foi aplicada para realizar um balanço energético detalhado e diagnóstico da situação existente. No seguimento, foi efectuada uma análise de mercado, para elaboração do estudo económico da implementação das medidas sugeridas, nomeadamente, a recuperação dos gases de combustão que saem das três estufas que secam os moldes para as estufas de louça cerâmica. Optou-se por esta medida uma vez que reduzirá significativamente, em cerca de 50%, o consumo de combustível (gás natural) nas estufas de secagem. O tempo de retorno do investimento necessário para adquirir o equipamento é de, aproximadamente, 10 meses.
