Black LGBT Health in the United States: The Intersection of Race,
Gender, and Sexual Orientation focuses on the mental, physical, and
spiritual aspects of health, and considers both risk and resiliency
factors for the Black LGBT population. Contributors to this
collection intimately understand the associations between health
and intersectional anti-Black racism, heterosexism, homonegativity,
biphobia, transphobia, and social class. This collection fills a
gap in current scholarship by providing information about an array
of health issues like cancer, juvenile incarceration, and
depression that affect all subpopulations of Black LGBT people,
especially Black bisexual-identified women, Black
bisexual-identified men, and Black transgender men. This book is
recommended for readers interested in psychology, health, gender
studies, race studies, social work, and sociology.

This book presents descriptions of interventions, results of
empirical research, and theoretical contributions developed by
Latine/x psychologists based on affirmative approaches aimed at
promoting acceptance and understanding of LGBTIQ+ people.
Contributions in this volume bring together the work of Latine/x
scholars, practitioners, and activists across five Latin American
countries or territories (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and
Puerto Rico) and in the United States, in an effort to provide
multicultural perspectives to LGBTIQ+ affirmative psychological
interventions that highlight local, regional and national
particularities. Chapters in this volume go beyond contributions
made by applied psychology fields (e.g., clinical and counselling
psychology), where affirmative orientations are predominantly
located, and include contributions from other fields of
psychological research such as social and community psychology. The
book is divided in two parts. Chapters in the first part focus on
the experiences of trans and gender non-conforming people, with
emphasis on contemporary systemic issues that affect gender
identity among Latine/x communities and those who do not conform to
hegemonic narratives about gender. Chapters in the second part
focus on sexual identity among Latine/x LGBTIQ+ people and their
families and communities. Contributions in this part present
discussions about sexual orientation (grouped in LG/LGB
identities), sex and gender dissidence, and the inclusion of
intersex. LGBTQ+ Affirmative Psychological Interventions: A
Latine/x Perspective will be of interest to both researchers
and practitioners in different fields of psychology – such as
clinical, counselling, social, and community psychology –
interested in a multicultural perspective to understand and develop
LGBTQ+ affirmative actions to fight against the repathologization
of individuals, groups, families and diverse communities.
This book describes practical changes that universities and
colleges can undertake to support LGBTQ+ students and create more
affirming and inclusive campus climates. Integrating examples of
structural and administrative changes guided by a minority stress
model, the book addresses an array of LGBTQ+ student populations
including transgender students, students with disabilities, student
athletes, international students, and first-generation college
students. The authors also cover issues unique to community
colleges, religious institutions, and historically Black colleges
and universities.
