Renato "Rainier" M. Liboro (Psychology) recently published an open-access, peer-reviewed article, "Catholic Family Ties: Sustaining and Supporting HIV-Positive Canadian Gay Men’s Faith, Mental Health, and Wellbeing," in the journal Religions. The aim of the community-based, participatory research study presented in this article was to explore and examine the perspectives of HIV-positive gay men on how and why their Catholic family ties have sustained and supported their faith, mental health, and wellbeing despite the recognized role of organized religion in promoting heteronormativity, homophobia, heterosexism, and HIV stigma and discrimination.
