| Abstract: | Despite the expectation that the gay community provides a sense of belonging to young gay men, internal discrimination within the gay community, may lead to feelings of frustration and hopelessness in them. This study explored strategies known by gay men to cope with internal discrimination. In addition, it was investigated which coping strategies either contribute to engagement or disengagement behaviours, in response to the experienced discrimination. To answer the research questions a thematic analysis of four episodes of the German podcast “Vollqueer” was executed. In each of the selected podcast episodes a different area of discrimination within the gay community was addressed, those being racism, ableism, toxic masculinity, and body shaming. Through the analysis, many different coping strategies were identified, including engagement behaviours such as self-acceptance or visibility and disengagement behaviours like internalised hate or isolation. Overall, most coping strategies corresponded with engagement behaviour. |
