“…Girls experience persistent gender-based discrimination, regardless of sexual orientation (Szymanski & Henrichs-Beck, 2014). Sexual minority girls report gender-negative language that is related to, but distinct from, homophobic slurs (Peter, Taylor, Ristock, & Edkins, 2015). Studies of sexual minority women indicate that heterosexism and sexism were distinct distress predictors (Szymanski & Henrichs-Beck, 2014).…”

This study used a focus group methodology to explore the experiences of stress and coping among 40 Hispanic, Caribbean Black, Haitian, and African American cisgender sexual minority girls living in the southeastern United States. An analysis of the data using grounded theory strategies revealed that participants were part of a cultural context in which few boundaries existed between family, religion, and culture, and that they tended to believe that they were betraying family and culture because of their sexual minority identities. Participants described (a) real or perceived transgressions of gender expectations and roles, (b) violating religious doctrine, and (c) emotional exclusion and taunting by family members. In the same context, the theme of HERoic Coping described participants’ resilience that manifested as (a) serving as the family educator, (b) being “out” in the open with family, and (c) creating safety. This study found that the negotiation of complex family, religious, and community environments is critical to understanding resilience in ethnoracial sexual minority girls.

“…Thus, even at its lowest point (i.e., 2SLGBTQ + students during the first wave of the pandemic with low PI), students with high SA did better than participants with low SA and high PI. Other research shows the key role of school attachment, which is generally lower among 2SLGBTQ + students (Poteat et al, 2011;Peter et al, 2015). For instance, research has found that 2SLGBTQ + students' sense of school belonging mediates the relationship between peer victimization and depression (Hatchel et al, 2018) and lowers suicidal ideation and attempts (Bariola et al, 2017).…”

Unsurprisingly, experiences of discrimination and harassment in school lowers 2SLGBTQ + students' school attachment (Diaz et al, 2010;Peter et al, 2015;Hatchel et al, 2019), which negatively impacts students' grades, attendance, Pre-Pandemic and pandemic slopes between parental involvement and positive mental health by level of school attachment among 2SLGBTQ + students.…”

On March 11th, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the worldwide outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic. On the following day, the Ontario government (Canada’s most populous province) ordered all public schools to close. By Monday, March 16th, 2020, all public schools (and most private schools) in Canada announced plans to physically shutter schools, with a shift to remote and online learning to follow soon after. This unprecedented shift in learning environment for young Canadians came at a time when the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic was creating a challenging environment for the mental health of all Canadians. While all students may have struggled to cope, 2SLGBTQ + students faced an unusually complex shift, as their school and home environments may have contributed differentially to the social supports and acceptance (related to their 2SLGBTQ + identity or identities) that their cisgender heterosexual peers routinely experience in their social surroundings. In this paper, we explore the relationship between school attachment, parental involvement and positive mental health in 2SLGBTQ + youth using data collected as part of the Second Annual School Climate Survey on Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia in Canadian Schools.

“…However, based on the current results, it is not appropriate to assert that LGBTQ women are less likely to experience prejudicerelated stressors compared to LGBTQ men. As numerous Canadians studies demonstrate, LGBTQ females can be even more likely to experience various forms of discrimination than both LGBTQ and CH men, as well as CH women (Taylor et al, 2011;Peter et al, 2015;Saewyc et al, 2007).…”

Globally, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) individuals are a highly discriminated group. Few academics have explored whether LGBTQ youth who experience discrimination can "get better", especially with respect to their positive mental health. Using minority stress theory, the current study explored whether there was a longterm relationship between childhood bullying and positive mental health in adulthood among LGBTQ individuals. The results suggest that there was a negative long-term relationship, wherein participants bullied in childhood displayed lower levels of positive mental health in adulthood. Suggestions for practices to promote positive mental health among LGBTQ individuals are then discussed, followed by suggestions for future research.
