Lesbians' coping strategies for dealing with heteronormativity and homophobia in German workplaces are explored. Consistent with previous research in Germany, half of the ten women interviewed are mostly or completely open about their sexuality at work, while the other half are mostly or completely "closeted" at work. Qualitative analyses reveal that the women have a variety of reasons for being "out" or "closeted" in the workplace.
本文探讨了女同性恋者在德国工作场所应对异性恋规范和恐同现象的应对策略。与德国此前的研究一致,在接受采访的10名女性中,有一半在工作中大多或完全公开自己的性取向,而另一半在工作中大多或完全“隐藏”自己的性取向。定性分析表明,这些女性在工作场所选择“出柜”或“隐藏”有多种原因。
