摘要

尽管迄今为止的研究还很有限,但美国的粮食不安全问题在女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人、同性恋者、质疑者、双性人、无性人和双灵人(LGBTQIA2S+)群体中更为普遍,每年影响数百万人。据统计,大专院校学生的粮食不安全率也明显高于非学生。本研究以 LGBTQIA2S+ 群体和大专院校学生为研究对象,探讨了 LGBTQIA2S+ 群体和大专院校学生之间的粮食不安全问题。本研究采用定性、参与式的方法,对八名在北卡罗来纳大学格林斯博罗分校(UNCG)就读的自我认同的 LGBTQIA2S+ 大学生进行了 "照片选择 "和半结构化访谈,以探讨影响参与者获得食物的因素。在交叉性和同性恋理论指导下,采用主题分解分析法对数据进行了分析。研究发现,LGBTQIA2S+ 身份对食物获取产生了重大影响,而物质、社会文化和政治环境又进一步影响了食物获取。获得食物的障碍包括校园内外的歧视经历、支持系统不完善、校园内或校园附近缺乏种类齐全的杂货店、宗教影响、与需要食物援助相关的耻辱感、精神和身体健康状况、经济限制、时间限制以及缺乏交通选择。需要了解 LGBTQIA2S+ 学生经历的交叉性,并提供相关的有效支持,以改善公平获取营养丰富、价格合理的食品的机会。这项研究的结果提供了有关食品不安全的新见解,这一问题正日益影响着 LGBTQIA2S+ 大学生的健康和福祉。

Gender, sexuality, and food access: An exploration of food security with LGBTQIA2S+ university students
Although research has been limited to date, food insecurity in the United States has been shown to be more pervasive among the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, agender, asexual, and Two-Spirit (LGBTQIA2S+) commu­nity, affecting millions annually. College and uni­versity students also experience statistically signifi­cantly higher rates of food insecurity than nonstudents. This research examines food insecu­rity at the intersection of the LGBTQIA2S+ com­munity and the university and college student pop­ulation, as told by the community itself. A qualitative, participatory approach and methods of Photovoice and semi-structured interviews with eight self-identified LGBTQIA2S+ university stu­dents studying at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) were used to explore the factors influencing participants’ food access. Data were analyzed using thematic decomposition analy­sis guided by intersectionality and queer theories. LGBTQIA2S+ identities were found to signifi­cantly impact food access, which was further influ­enced by physical, socio-cultural, and political envi­ronments. Barriers to food access include experiences with discrimination on and off cam­pus, poor support systems, a lack of full-selection grocery stores on or near campus, religious influ­ences, the stigma associated with needing food assistance, mental and physical health conditions, financial constraints, time limitations, and lacking transportation options. Understanding the intersec­tionality of LGBTQIA2S+ students’ experiences and providing relevant and effective support is needed to improve equitable access to nutritious and affordable foods. The findings of this research provide novel insights into food insecurity, an issue that is increasingly influencing the health and well-being of LGBTQIA2S+ university students.
