Abstract

In this Virtual Special Issue (VSI), we curate and discuss a set of 28 articles previously published in the American Journal of Community Psychology (AJCP) focused on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) communities. The purpose of this VSI is to bring visibility to this body of scholarship in AJCP and to reflect on how the strengths of our field have been used throughout this work in pursuit of supporting LGBTQ wellbeing. In this VSI, we first discuss articles that help to set the historical background for publications in AJCP. We then discuss papers under the broad themes of HIV/AIDS, identities within ecological context, and social activism among LGBTQ communities. We then reflect on opportunities for our field to further leverage our strengths in contributing to LGBTQ scholarship. Overall, this VSI celebrates the contributions to LGBTQ research already present in AJCP, and we hope inspires future contributions to the pages of AJCP and beyond.

我们社区的骄傲:反思LGBTQ在美国社区心理学杂志上的出版物

在这期虚拟特刊(VSI)中，我们整理并讨论了28篇先前发表在《美国社区心理学杂志》(AJCP)上的文章，这些文章主要关注女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人和酷儿(LGBTQ)群体。这个VSI的目的是让AJCP的学术机构更有知名度，并反思我们领域的优势是如何在整个工作中被用来支持LGBTQ的福祉的。在本VSI中，我们首先讨论有助于设置AJCP出版物历史背景的文章。然后，我们讨论了艾滋病、生态背景下的身份以及LGBTQ社区的社会行动主义等广泛主题下的论文。然后，我们思考我们的领域有机会进一步利用我们的优势，为LGBTQ奖学金做出贡献。总的来说，这个VSI庆祝对LGBTQ研究的贡献已经出现在AJCP中，我们希望能激发未来对AJCP的贡献。
