People who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or queer (LGBTQ) often cope with stressors related to their sexual orientation or gender identity. The use of humor as a protective factor against oppression is the focus of this study. Using qualitative and quantitative methodology, the Willard Humor Survey was developed to explore the use of humor in this population. Two hundred participants completed the online questionnaire. Participants had to be over the age of 18, identify as LGBTQ and reside in the United States. Recruitment of participants was conducted online via listservs and emails, and word of mouth. Twenty-six percent of the sample were ethnic minorities.

520 $a People who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and/or queer (LGBTQ) often cope with stressors related to their sexual orientation or gender identity. The use of humor as a protective factor against oppression is the focus of this study. Using qualitative and quantitative methodology, the Willard Humor Survey was developed to explore the use of humor in this population. Two hundred participants completed the online questionnaire. Participants had to be over the age of 18, identify as LGBTQ and reside in the United States. Recruitment of participants was conducted online via listservs and emails, and word of mouth. Twenty-six percent of the sample were ethnic minorities.
520 $a Seventy percent of the participants found humor to be useful in coping with homophobia and heterosexism. Humor was found to be useful in diffusing internal and external anxieties, raising other's awareness, providing social support, and in coming out. Participants described "rules" about when, in what context, with whom and in what situations to use or not use humor. Humor was seen as less effective when coping with homophobia than it is for heterosexism.
520 $a Humor was used at work more than any other locations (31%, n = 62). Participants were often with at least two to five friends when humor was used (37.5%, n = 75), and strangers were present about half the time (48.5%, n = 97). Most participants (57%, n = 114) used humor in an environment that was LGBT-friendly.
520 $a Transgender individuals used humor to cope with homophobia more frequently than did lesbian, gay, queer, or bisexual participants, and transgender female-to-male participants used humor more frequently than did the female-identified participants. Younger people in the sample used humor more frequently than older people when coping with heterosexism.
520 $a Clinically, humor can help build the therapeutic alliance; however it must be used with caution and clinical judgment. Therapists may want to encourage LGBTQ clients to utilize humor in order to build social networks, relieve the tension of awkward situations, and to equalize power differentials in relationships. Those who do not identify as LGBTQ should exercise caution when using humor in order to avoid offending others.
