Abstract

Marginalized communities have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19, including both racial/ethnic minority and sexual minority populations. To date, there has been little research examining the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at the intersections of marginalized identities. Furthermore, available national data on COVID-19 outcomes may obscure our understanding of region-specific outcomes, particularly in the U.S. South. Using an intersectional approach, we explore differences in worries over COVID-19, preventative behaviors, and COVID-19 outcomes in the early months of the pandemic in a diverse sample of LGBTQ people (N = 1076) living in Texas. Our findings indicated that LGBTQ Latinx people in Texas reported more COVID-19 related worries and adverse outcomes than non-Latinx LGBTQ people. These findings are in line with previous research that found that the increased risk to Latinx and LGBTQ populations in public health crises is often overlooked and can be attributed to many factors such as socioeconomic status, occupational propensity, disparities in physical health, and barriers to healthcare access. Furthermore, our findings suggest the necessity of utilizing an intersectional approach when examining the disproportionate burden marginalized communities face in public health crises.

了解德克萨斯州拉美裔男女同性恋、双性恋和变性者在 COVID-19 大流行初期的经历。
边缘化群体受到 COVID-19 的影响尤为严重,包括少数种族/族裔和性少数群体。迄今为止,很少有研究探讨 COVID-19 大流行对边缘化身份的交叉影响。此外,关于 COVID-19 结果的现有全国性数据可能会模糊我们对特定地区结果的理解,尤其是在美国南部。我们采用交叉的方法,以居住在得克萨斯州的 LGBTQ 群体(N = 1076)为样本,探讨了大流行初期几个月中对 COVID-19 的担忧、预防行为和 COVID-19 结果的差异。我们的研究结果表明,与非拉丁裔 LGBTQ 相比,得克萨斯州的拉丁裔 LGBTQ 群体报告了更多与 COVID-19 相关的担忧和不良后果。这些研究结果与之前的研究结果一致,即拉美裔和 LGBTQ 群体在公共卫生危机中面临的风险增加往往被忽视,这可能归因于多种因素,如社会经济地位、职业倾向、身体健康方面的差异以及获得医疗保健服务的障碍。此外,我们的研究结果表明,在研究边缘化群体在公共卫生危机中面临的过重负担时,有必要采用交叉方法。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Homosexuality is an internationally acclaimed, peer-reviewed publication devoted to publishing a wide variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary scholarship to foster a thorough understanding of the complexities, nuances, and the multifaceted aspects of sexuality and gender. The chief aim of the journal is to publish thought-provoking scholarship by researchers, community activists, and scholars who employ a range of research methodologies and who offer a variety of perspectives to continue shaping knowledge production in the arenas of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) studies and queer studies. The Journal of Homosexuality is committed to offering substantive, accessible reading to researchers and general readers alike in the hope of: spurring additional research, offering ideas to integrate into educational programs at schools, colleges & universities, or community-based organizations, and manifesting activism against sexual and gender prejudice (e.g., homophobia, biphobia and transphobia), including the promotion of sexual and gender justice.
