4月18日发表在美国儿科学学会官方刊物《儿科学》（Pediatrics）杂志网络版上
的一篇研究报告显示，保守和缺乏支持的社会环境会明显加剧同性恋青少年的自杀问题
。这份报告的标题为《社会环境与同性恋、双性恋青少年的自杀倾向》（The Social
Environment and Suicide Attempts in Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Youth）。
研究是由哥伦比亚大学公共卫生学院的心理学学者马克-哈赞布勒（Mark L.

倾向青少年的自杀率是否与周遭社会环境相关。
研究人员使用了2006年至2008年在俄勒冈州进行的大规模调查的数据，调查覆盖了
总共31852名11年级的中学生和总计34个县市地区，其中有约4.4%、即1413名学生自我

爱白网(www.aibai.com)
作者：Damien Lu(星星)
本文首发于：飞赞网 www.feizan.com
摘要: 有些人对酷儿理论解读，认为性倾向是高度可塑的，这对于推动性少数群体
的权益提升有破坏作用。中国同志运动的困境之一，是很多人(包括很多同志自己
)都相信性倾向是高度可塑的。而现有各国同性婚姻法的立法依据，都是基于一个
事实，即性倾向是先天形成的、是自身不可控制、无法选择的，是与种族、肤色等
因素一样的天然属性，所以才应该允许同性结婚。同志运动应该以人为本，同志们
健康的自我认同和自我接受才是真正动力。
几天前，我和洛杉矶同志中心的两位美国年轻女同一起去机场迎接来中心实习的四
位中国同志活动家。出发之前，我们先在实习生们即将居住的房子里闲谈了一阵，
她们问起中国同志运动的现状，我谈到了酷儿理论在中国的影响。很有意思的是，
她们两位中的一位了解酷儿理论, 但反应很不屑，而另一位则从来没听说过酷儿理
