Newman, P.A., Fantus, S., Woodford, M.R., Rwigema, M. (2017). “Pray that God will change you”: The religious social ecology
of bias-based bullying targeting sexual and gender minority youth—A qualitative study of service providers and
educators. Journal of Adolescent Research, 33(5), 523-548. https://doi.org/10.1177/0743558417712013
This study, which concludes that religion plays a role in homophobia, documents bullying trends towards LGBTQ+ teens in
Canada through interviews with teachers and therapists. The authors are experts in the fields of sociology and gender
studies. This peer-reviewed article presented the results of the well-designed, though small, study which collected data from a
diverse population of service providers and used accepted methods to ensure the quality of the data. The Journal of
Adolescent Research is well-respected within the field. The information in this study which connects religious faith to
homophobic bullying supports the argument that LGBTQ+ teens of faith may suffer mental health consequences if they
choose to stay in the church.
Typically, when formatting a historical annotated bibliography, primary and secondary sources are separated into two sections.
If you are using the Notes/Bibliography type of Chicago Style, authors may add their annotations within the footnotes or endnotes. Check with your instructor if annotations should be included in your footnotes or endnotes.
