Abstract
(type = abstract)
Informed by the critical ideology of feminist theory and psychology, this qualitative study provides an in-depth exploration into the experiences of Orthodox Jewish lesbian women. Aiming to redress the lack of literature on Orthodox Jewish lesbians, this investigation endeavors to understand how this collective navigates tight-knit communities while living at the intersection of identities assumed to be conflicting. Ten cisgendered Orthodox Jewish lesbians, ages 21 to 46, participated in phenomenologically oriented semi-structured interviews that offered women the platform to discuss various facets of gender, sexual orientation, religion, family, community, and identity. Through a grounded theory analysis of the data, three major thematic areas emerged: Orthodox Jewish lesbians experience multiple barriers; Orthodox Jewish lesbians rely on numerous coping strategies and systems to help manage these barriers; and Orthodox Jewish lesbians hope for communal change and improvement. Findings suggest that community, serving simultaneously as a source of both stress and resilience, is a powerful force in the lives of Orthodox Jewish lesbians. Driven by the data, the discussion features directions for future research as well as specific recommendations for clinical and community wide interventions that have broader implications for those working with religious sexual minorities.
