Sexual minority youth of color: A content analysis and critical review of the literature

Abstract: This study analyzed the content of 125 unique reports published since 1990 that have examined the health and well-being—as well as the interpersonal and contextual experiences—of sexual minority youth of color (SMYoC). One-half of reports sampled only young men, 73% were noncomparative samples of sexual minority youth, and 68% of samples included multiple racial-ethnic groups (i.e., 32% of samples were mono-racial/ethnic). Most reports focused on health-related outcomes (i.e., sexual and mental health, substan… Show more

“…This study also suggests that the predominant focus of psychological research on pathology— poor mental and physical health—may present an overly bleak portrait of the lives of multiple minority individuals (Toomey, Huynh, Jones, Lee, & Revels‐Macalinao, ). Without minimizing or dismissing the reality of systemic oppression and discrimination, it also is plausible that more diverse or complex identities may confer advantages for some individuals (e.g., Knifsend & Juvonen, ).…”

“…Much of the research exploring sexual development of adolescents has focused on adolescents who identify as heterosexual (Fortenberry et al, 2010). Prior work exploring the sexual identity development experiences of sexual minority adolescents has failed to understand the sexual development of youth who may exist at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities, such as Black and bisexual (Dubé & Savin-Williams, 1999; Jamil, Harper,& Fernandez, 2009; Rosario, Schrimshaw,& Hunter, 2004,2008; Rosario, Schrimshaw, Hunter,& Braun, 2006; Toomey, Huynh, Jones, Lee, & Revels-Macalinao, 2017; Wade & Harper, 2015). Past work suggests that bisexual youth of color, including Black bisexual male adolescents (BBMA), may have significant and unmet sexual and reproductive as well as mental health needs during sexual development (Chun & Singh, 2010; Dodge et al, 2016; Friedman et al, 2014; Saewyc et al, 2009), which are unique and distinct from those adolescents who identify as gay, lesbian or heterosexual (Friedman et al, 2014; Mereish, Katz-Wise, & Woulfe, 2017).…”

“…Wilson’s dynamic ecological model considers ethnic, masculine, and identity formation as overlapping and intersectional processes which can carry conflicting meanings and expectations contributing to bisexual behaviors. Toomey et al (2017) suggest that role expectations within racial–ethnic identities and cultural norms (Jamil et al, 2009), as well as expectations of masculinity (Fields, Morgan, & Sanders, 2016; Fields et al, 2015) may play an important role in the development of dimensions of sexual orientation during adolescence.…”

“…Furthermore, little is known about protective factors for health outcomes of sexual minority people of color (Toomey, Huynh, Jones, Lee, & Revels-Macalinao, 2017). Some recent research focused on Black and Latinx LGB individuals reports that factors such as having a regular healthcare provider and the support of family members have positive effects on health and well-being (Battle & DeFreece, 2014;Swendener & Woodell, 2017).…”
