For people of color who also identify as LGBTQ: Resources
Wearing the dual lenses of LGBTQ inclusion and anti-racism, LGBTQ people of color and allies can draw on resources for support. For example, this hopeful insight from the Trevor Project:
Having multiple identities may also allow Black LGBTQ youth to thrive despite their status in society. Having multiple identities does not necessarily mean that each identity is viewed equally in every environment. In other words, though one may have a status or identity that is marginalized in one context, another identity might be more adaptive in that same context. . . . For example, Black LGBTQ youth might benefit from a strong racial/ethnic sense of pride or from pride in their sexual or gender identity, depending on the context in which they find themselves. In this sense, the ability to be adaptive with one’s identity may be a potential internal source of resiliency for Black LGBTQ youth.
The website UCLA: Queer and Trans Black, Indigenous, People of Color includes resources for the Afrikan diaspora, Asian and Pacific Islanders, Hispanic (sometimes a preferred term instead of Latinx), Native American and Middle Eastern-specific.
Another great super-aggregator website is from LGBTQ Affairs at the Univ. of Arizona, including queer South Asians, immigrants, Muslims, Hmong, and First Nations Two Spirits.
For those in the intersection, these multiple marginalized identities can be a source of challenge but also a source of strength.
