My proposed project is a research-based autoethnographic PhD (novel and 30,000 word dissertation) investigating the effects of homophobia on myself and LGBT+ communities in 1980s/90s Brighton after the government introduced the notoriously anti-gay Section 28 of the Local Government Act, stating that a local authority 'shall not intentionally promote homosexuality or publish material with the intention of promoting homosexuality' (Local Government Act, 1988).This legislation and consequent persecution of LGBT+ communities caused homophobic attacks to come into the mainstream in devastating ways, and LGBT+ communities in Brighton responded as never before (Brighton Ourstory Archive). Using local archives and self as archive, I trace the emergence of a local LGBT+ community of resistance (in which I participated), that assertively demanded change and acceptance (ibid). When coupled with the psychotherapeutic working-through of personal and collective homophobia-related trauma, collective maturity and wellbeing can emerge. (Firman and Gila 1997, pp.195 -199; Todd 2016, p.76). My work has relevance for LGBT+ communities in a current global crisis: 'LGBT people face discrimination everywhere' (Stonewall website). Drawing on my considerable experience as an award-winning novelist, journalist and psychotherapeutic counsellor, I am uniquely placed to offer a transdisciplinary (psychotherapeutic / autoethnographic / queer) narrative, a blueprint for resistance, as well as a forward-looking exploration of relevant community-based strategies of resistance and perseverance. The proposed study consists of two components: 1) An autoethnographic novel; 2) a dissertation. Firstly, my Brighton-based autoethnographic novel will emerge from an investigation of archival material (The Keep, Brighton's historical resource centre), narrating my own journey through a toxic moment in UK history. This project moves beyond criticisms of autoethnography as inward-looking to create a new methodology of archival and research-based, therapeutically orientated autoethnographic writing. Dissertation (30,000 words): covers research findings, my autoethnographic process, and theorises tangible, practical strategies of resistance for today's oppressed minorities.

我提议的项目是一个以研究为基础的自我民族志博士学位（小说和30,000字的论文）调查同性恋恐惧症对我自己和LGBT+社区在20世纪80年代/90年代布莱顿的影响后，政府推出了臭名昭著的反同性恋第28条的地方政府法案，地方当局“不得故意宣传同性恋或出版意图宣传同性恋的材料”（地方政府法，1988年）.这一立法和随之而来的迫害LGBT+社区造成同性恋恐惧症的攻击进入主流以毁灭性的方式，和LGBT+社区在布赖顿的反应前所未有（布赖顿我们的故事档案）.利用当地档案和自我档案，我追踪了当地LGBT+抵抗社区的出现（我参加了），坚定地要求改变和接受（同上）。当再加上心理治疗的工作，通过个人和集体的同性恋恐惧相关的创伤，集体的成熟和福祉可以出现。（Firman and Gila 1997，pp.195 - 199;托德2016，p.76）。我的工作在当前的全球危机中与LGBT+社区相关：“LGBT人群在各地面临歧视”（石墙网站）。凭借我作为获奖小说家，记者和心理治疗顾问的丰富经验，我处于独特的地位，可以提供跨学科（心理治疗/自我民族志/酷儿）叙事，抵抗的蓝图，以及对相关的基于社区的抵抗和毅力策略的前瞻性探索。本研究由两部分组成：1）一部自传性民族志小说; 2）一篇论文。首先，我的布莱顿自传体小说将从档案材料的调查（保持，布莱顿的历史资源中心）中出现，讲述我自己的旅程，通过英国历史上的一个有毒时刻。这个项目超越了自我民族志的批评，作为内向型，创造一个新的方法论的档案和研究为基础，治疗导向的自我民族志写作。论文（30，000字）：涵盖研究结果，我的autoethnographic过程，并为今天受压迫的少数民族理论化的有形，实用的抵抗策略。
