Abstract

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or queer (LGBTQ+) young people of color encounter interlocking systems of social prejudice and discrimination. However, little is understood about how subjective meanings of perceived structural stigma associated with multiple marginalized social statuses influence mental health. We document how perceived stigma can shape mental health inequalities among multiply marginalized individuals if they also encounter stigmatizing societal frameworks. Data come from in-depth interviews with 41 LGBTQ+ Latino/a young adults in the Rio Grande Valley collected from 2016 to 2017. Utilizing an intersectional minority stress framework, we qualitatively examine how young people conceptualize structural stigma, their multiple social locations (e.g., sexuality, gender, race/ethnicity, age), and their mental health. Findings highlight how LGBTQ+ Latino/a young adults experience structural racism, gender policing, and anti-LGBTQ+ religious messages in relation to their mental health. This study showcases the importance of an intersectional minority stress framework for documenting processes that can shape mental health inequalities.
LGBTQ+拉丁裔/年轻人对污名和心理健康的解释:跨部门的少数族裔压力视角
女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和/或酷儿(LGBTQ+)有色人种年轻人遇到了相互关联的社会偏见和歧视系统。然而,人们对与多种边缘化社会地位相关的结构性污名的主观含义如何影响心理健康知之甚少。我们记录了如果被边缘化的人也遇到污名化的社会框架,他们所感知的污名化如何会塑造他们的心理健康不平等。数据来自2016年至2017年对格兰德河流域41名LGBTQ+拉丁裔年轻人的深入采访。利用跨部门的少数群体压力框架,我们定性地研究了年轻人如何将结构性污名、他们的多个社会位置(例如,性、性别、种族/民族、年龄)和他们的心理健康概念化。研究结果强调了LGBTQ+拉丁裔/年轻人在心理健康方面如何经历结构性种族主义、性别监管和反LGBTQ+宗教信息。这项研究展示了跨部门少数群体压力框架对记录可能形成心理健康不平等的过程的重要性。
