Our July research brief takes on an incredibly important topic: the intersections between different forms of discrimination.
We know the impacts of discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI), but what happens when that intersects with discrimination on the basis of someone’s race or ethnicity? The answers remind us of the work our Trevor community must engage in to ensure LGBTQ+ young people of color get the support they need.
LGBTQ+ young people of color navigate a world that stigmatizes not only their LGBTQ+ identity but also their racial/ethnic identity. The intersection of multiple marginalized identities creates unique challenges and risks for LGBTQ+ young people of color.
The brief, The Intersectionality of Discrimination and the Mental Health of LGBTQ+ Young People of Color ([link removed]) , explores these topics, which deserve increased thought and action.

** Looking at the Intersections Between SOGI-Based Discrimination and Race/Ethnicity Discrimination
------------------------------------------------------------

We surveyed LGBTQ+ young people of color and asked the question of whether they had experienced race/ethnicity-based discrimination, SOGI-discrimination, or both. What we found was tough to hear but important to recognize.
Among the LGBTQ+ young people of color we surveyed, 64% of those who reported racial discrimination also reported experiencing SOGI-based discrimination. They are being doubly discriminated against and dealing with the mental health repercussions of both.
** Looking at the Impacts of Discrimination
------------------------------------------------------------
When LGBTQ+ young people of color are exposed to both SOGI-based discrimination and racial/ethnic discrimination, these experiences compound to increase suicide risk. Based on our research, the risk for considering suicide is nearly double when an LGBTQ+ young person experiences both forms of discrimination.

While we work together to build stronger support at these intersections, it is still on every one of us to do what we can to support the LGBTQ+ young people of color in our lives.
Trevor will continue to advocate for and provide life-saving resources to LGBTQ+ young people of color and LGBTQ+ young people in general. No young person should experience discrimination, let alone multiple forms of it. For more information, check out the full findings from our research. ([link removed])
