Gay, bisexual, and queer (GBQ) men are at higher risk of negative body image. As having a negative body image is related to negative mood, sexual, and health outcomes, identifying and providing community-friendly tools for GBQ men is important. This paper describes the creation and evaluation of Rainbow Reflections, a comic anthology developed to promote awareness of and communication about body image. Rainbow Reflections includes comics from 38 trans- and cis-GBQ artists who drew inspiration from personal narratives based on pre-determined themes in the empirical literature and interactive inserts based on evidence-based practice. To evaluate Rainbow Reflections, 167 trans- and cis-GBQ men completed pre-post measures before/after viewing a selection of comics and responded to an open-ended question about their experience. Overall, participants rated the comic book positively, with a majority (61.1%) indicating that they would recommend the book to a friend. After viewing the comics, participants reported greater comfort with initiating conversations about body image, greater satisfaction with their bodies, and reported higher estimates of how common body image concerns are for queer men. Themes that emerged from open-ended responses included participants reflecting on personal struggles (~ 30%), relating with the stories of others (~ 22%), reflecting on the standards of queer men (~ 18%), recognizing cis-privilege (~ 11%), reflecting on others’ struggles (~ 9%), negative feedback about the comics (~ 7%), and balancing masculine and feminine (~ 3%). Results of the study provide preliminary evidence for Rainbow Reflections as an effective community-friendly tool to promote awareness of and communication about body image for GBQ men.

彩虹反射的实证评价:《酷儿们的身体形象漫画集》

同性恋,双性恋和同志(GBQ)男性出现负面身体形象的风险更高。由于负面的身体形象与不良的情绪,性和健康状况有关,因此为GBQ男性识别并提供对社区友好的工具非常重要。本文描述了彩虹倒影的创建和评估,彩虹倒影是一种漫画集,旨在促进人们对身体图像的认识和交流。Rainbow Reflections包括来自38位跨性别和顺式GBQ艺术家的漫画,这些漫画从经验叙事中基于预定主题的个人叙事中汲取灵感,并基于循证实践进行互动。为了评估《彩虹倒影》,167位反式和顺式GBQ的男性在查看漫画集之前/之后完成了事前措施,并回答了有关其经历的开放式问题。总体,参与者对漫画书给予正面评价,多数(61.1%)表示愿意将漫画书推荐给朋友。观看漫画后,参与者报告说,他们开始就身体形象进行对话时更加自在,对自己的身体更满意,并报告了对酷儿男性常见的身体形象问题的更高估计。开放式回应产生的主题包括参与者反思个人奋斗(〜30%),与他人的故事有关(〜22%),反思同性恋男性的标准(〜18%),承认顺势特权(约11%),反映他人的挣扎(约9%),对漫画的负面反馈(约7%)以及平衡男性和女性(约3%)。
