本文借鉴心理学和社会学文献，探讨在引出和提出难民叙事时出现的问题，索赔是基于性取向。对同性恋身份的僵化观念可能会有意识或无意识地影响决策者在这一领域的做法。首先，我们确定了对女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋索赔人特别重要的心理社会问题，这些问题可能会成为引发他们自我认同叙述的障碍，包括：不愿透露团体成员身份作为索赔的基础，传递或隐藏策略的经验，羞耻和抑郁对记忆的影响，性侵犯的共同经历，以及法律的过程中身份叙述的性别化。其次，我们探讨了在法律的程序中抑制接受此类叙述的因素。特别是，我们探讨了心理的“阶段模型”的性身份发展和研究的普遍影响，这种模式已经对决策者的“前理解”的性身份发展作为一个统一的和线性的轨迹。
This article draws upon psychological and sociological literature to explore the issues that arise in eliciting and presenting a refugee narrative when the claim is based upon sexual orientation. Rigid notions of homosexual identity may consciously or subconsciously shape decision-makers’ approaches in this field. First, we identify psycho-social issues of particular significance to lesbian, gay and bisexual claimants which may act as barriers to eliciting their narrative of self-identity, including: a reluctance to reveal group membership as the basis of a claim, the experience of passing or concealment strategies, the impact of shame and depression on memory, common experience of sexual assault, and sexualisation of the identity narrative in the legal process. Secondly, we explore factors which inhibit the reception of such narratives in the legal process. In particular we explore the psychological ‘stage model’ of sexual identity development and examine the pervasive impact this model has had upon decisionmakers’ ‘pre-understanding’ of sexual identity development as a uniform and linear trajectory.
