‘We just see each other’
Queer, trans and non-binary people of colour’s (QTNB-POC) experiences are situated within systemic racism, heterosexism and cissexism, influenced by other compounding marginalised identities as well. Such systems of oppression can shape both QTNB-POC’s identities, and encounters with others. Little is known about how QTNB-POC relationships may be a source of resilience against, or reinforce, systemic oppression; most existing information on these…
An intersectional approach for the effects of school bullying & cyberbullying on beliefs about the future among Latine LGBTQ + youth in the United States
Latine lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) youth in the United States (U.S.) experience compounded forms of oppression that increase vulnerability to both school‐based and cyberbullying. Guided by the Minority Stress Theory (MST) and the Temporal Intersectional Minority Stress Model (TIMSM), this study examined how intersectional bullying relates to future outlook among Latine LGBTQ+ youth, and whether internalized stigma, dep…
Alcohol and Native Language
Intersectional microaggressions – daily slights toward individuals with multiple minoritized identities – pose significant stress for sexual and gender minoritized (SGM) Latine youth. Although research on these experiences has expanded, gaps remain regarding how they influence substance use and mental health across ethnic and linguistic lines. This study examined the relationship between intersectional microaggressions, psychological distress, an…
Rejected by Caregivers but Connected to Others
LGBTQ + emerging adults who are rejected by their caregivers often experience negative mental health outcomes, lower resilience, and decreased ability to establish positive social support networks. The current study used a sample of 460 LGBTQ + emerging adults (ages 18–25, M age = 21.6) to examine the relationships between caregiver rejection and symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Also, we examined the mediating role of psychosocial resou…
I think I take on the whole system”
Our study aids in developing targeted clinical interventions and research initiatives that seek to reduce intersectional proximal stressors. Consistent with an intersectional framework, our study also offers ways to engage in systemic change that seeks to dismantle systems of oppression.

The Queer and Trans Black, Indigenous, and People of Color resilience measure
The QT-BIPOC RM scale is introduced as a novel measure of resilience and resistance for QT-BIPOC. Our measure redefines resilience by challenging Eurocentric, individualistic frameworks and highlighting how QT-BIPOC resist intersectional oppression through self-preservation, collective healing, and the creation of empowering identity-based narratives.

Psychosocial Strengths, Well-Being, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms among LGBTQ+ Young Adults
This study aims to explore the associations between multiple psychosocial resources at the individual-level (personal resilience) and at the family and community levels (social support from significant other, social support from family, social support from friends, and caregiver acceptance) and two mental health outcomes (psychological well-being and posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD] symptoms) among 460 ( M age = 21.6 years) lesbian, gay, bise…
Understanding sexual and gender diverse people of color identity affirmation as a form of resistance
Sexual and gender diverse people of color (SGD-POC) navigate interlocking systems of oppression rooted in racism, heterosexism, and cissexism, which contribute to adverse mental health outcomes. However, resilience and resistance are often overlooked in research on intersectionality. Guided by Black feminist thought, this study positions SGD-POC identity affirmation-specifically identity cohesion and identity-based growth-as forms of internal res…
Considering sexual and gender minority community inequity within the psychological mediation framework
I Feel Unsafe in America”
Being Yourself is a Sin”
Evangelical Christian purity culture is an abstinence-based, gender essentialist approach to teaching children and adolescents about sex. Key purity culture concepts include the existence of sexual virginity and the importance of its preservation, heteronormative relationships with strictly enforced binary gender roles, and the idea that sexual exploration is dangerous and morally destructive. The present study uses a critical feminist lens to ex…
Development and Validation of the Identity Negotiation Experiences and Strategies Scale
A rich theoretical and empirical literature captures experiences of identity conflict and tension at the nexus of identity domains that feel incompatible. The Identity Negotiation Experiences and Strategies (INES) scale was developed to provide a quantitative tool for capturing experiences of identity strain or conflict, and strategies for responding to or managing strain. Focus groups with college students from the United States, the Netherlands…

The effects of intersectional identity affirmation on the relationship between racist or heterosexist microaggressions and mental health for LGBTQ+ people of color
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) people of colour (POC) live at the intersection of multiple marginalised statuses. While previous literature has linked positive, affirmed identity with better mental health for LGBTQ+ individuals, identity affirmation may be compromised by intersecting systems of oppression. This study 1) investigated how multiple intersecting forms of oppression (i.e. racism within LGBTQ+ communities and h…
Even when I feel alone, I always know I’m not really alone”
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) live at the intersection of marginalized identities, resulting in unique experiences of exclusion within their various communities. Despite experiences of community exclusion, LGBTQIA+–BIPOC find ways to resist such structures to thrive in the face of adversity and strive for transformative change. The present study uses an …
The identity-related experiences of LGBTQ + students in engineering spaces
The present study explored LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other non heterosexual/cisgender identities) engineering students' navigation of engineering educational contexts and reported the impacts of the engineering educational culture on LGBTQ + students' well-being. Drawing from a sample of ten LGBTQ + university students in the United States, we found that students described cultural norms sustained through minimal tol…
The Sexual Objectification Experiences of Non-Binary People
Body Maps Depict How Sexual Objectification Shapes Non-Binary People Relating to Their Bodies
The purpose of this art-based study was to work with non-binary people to explore the impact of their sexual objectification experiences (SOEs) on their relationships with their bodies. Ten non-binary people completed body maps, or artistic representations of their bodies in the context of sexual objectification. Results revealed an idiosyncratic, complicated picture of mixed metaphors and powerful imagery illustrating non-binary SOEs. Themes inc…
Inequity within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) community as a distal stressor
At the intersection of intersectional identity and microaggressions
Our findings provide quantitative evidence on intersectional identity affirmation as a resilience factor for SGD-BIPOC communities, thereby expanding existing theories. Implications for research, clinical practice, and social justice are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
Contextual Navigation
The negotiation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) identities while navigating between LGBTQ+ and cis-heterodominant cultural contexts may parallel some processes observed in acculturation experiences within communities of color. 14 LGBTQ+ emerging adults (20–25 years) located within the United States participated in semi-structured individual interviews and focus groups aimed at exploring sexual identity negotiation. Find…
Development and initial validation of the LGBTQ+ Community Resilience and Inequity Scale
Experiences of Community Resilience and Inequity Among LGBTQ+ People
A diverse sample of LGBTQ+ people ( N = 527) was recruited to explore sexual and gender diverse peoples’ co-occurring experiences with community resilience resources and inequity within the LGBTQ+ community. Using latent profile analysis, four distinctive latent profiles emerged: Marginalized, Ambivalent, Disengaged, and Embedded. Beta regression analyses suggested that identity centrality played a pivotal role in a participants’ membership to a …
Intersectionality and Identity Configurations
Although modern comprehensive conceptual models of sexual identity development acknowledge contextual factors, existing models have placed less emphasis on (a) the influence of multiple domains of identity on sexual identity formation and (b) centrality and negotiation of various domains of identity. The present study sought to explore processes, identity conflicts, and management of sexual identity relative to other identity domains among sexual…
An Exploration of LGBTQ+ Community Members’ Positive Perceptions of LGBTQ+ Culture
Although a large body of literature addresses sexual and gender identity development, little research has focused on definitions, conceptualization, and identification with LGBTQ+ culture. Fourteen LGBTQ+ emerging adults (age 20–25 years) with a diverse array of intersecting identities participated in semi-structured individual interviews aimed at exploring the construct of LGBTQ+ culture. Five of the 14 participants also participated in focus gr…
LGBTQ+ emerging adults perceptions of discrimination and exclusion within the LGBTQ+ community
Research on LGBTQ+ emerging adult populations has primarily focused on discrimination that is experienced within the heterodominant culture. Due to systems of oppression and the forces of power and privilege, some sexual and gender minorities experience isolation and discrimination not only within the heterodominant culture, but within the LGBTQ+ community as well. Fourteen lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) young …
