The purposes of this study were to describe gay men's experiences of hate crime and understand the meanings they attribute to it. Data were analyzed from individual interviews with seven gay men who recounted nine separate hate crimes. Participants perceived their hate crimes as homophobic acts of verbal harassment and violent assault targeted at silencing their identities, which they actively resisted. They perceived the aftermath as an extended period of time in which they lived with a heightened awareness of self, others, and the environment. This heightened awareness was reported to disrupt intimacy and social connectedness while they attempted to make meaning of their experiences and heal.
本研究的目的是描述男同性恋者的仇恨犯罪经历，并理解他们赋予其的意义。对七名男同性恋者的个人访谈数据进行了分析，他们讲述了九起不同的仇恨犯罪。参与者将他们的仇恨犯罪视为针对压制其身份的恐同言语骚扰和暴力攻击行为，而他们积极予以抵抗。他们将后果视为一段很长的时间，在此期间他们在对自我、他人和环境的高度警觉中生活。据报告，这种高度警觉在他们试图理解自己的经历并疗伤的过程中扰乱了亲密关系和社会联系。
