Abstract
This study applied a risk and resilience framework to assess the effects of overall, racial/ethnic, sexual orientation, and gender discrimination, for LGBTQ+ BIPOC in the U.S. Strong positive connections to one’s ethnic and intersectional LGBTQ+ BIPOC identities were assessed as potential protective factors. Data were collected via online surveys from people living in the U.S. who self-identified as both LGBTQ+ and BIPOC. Responses were analyzed using linear regression analyses. In line with hypothesis 1, greater frequencies of discrimination were associated with more symptoms of depression. However, contrary to hypothesis 2, in most contexts, ethnic identity was not associated with protection against the impact of discrimination on depression symptoms. In support of hypothesis 3, intersectional identity was found to be associated with protection against the impact of discrimination that was attributed to multiple identities (multiple attribution discrimination), whereas ethnic identity was not found to moderate the impact of multiple attribution discrimination in any context. Post hoc analyses revealed that intersectional identity was also associated with buffering the impact of racial/ethnic discrimination on depression symptoms. Additionally, post hoc analyses found that the combined impact of ethnic and intersectional identity was associated with unique buffering effects of the impacts of overall, racial/ethnic, and sexual orientation discrimination on depression symptoms. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
