Being a person of color is challenging in the United States. Being part of the LGBT communities can be difficult too. Recently released research examining the intersection of anti-LGBT and racial discrimination highlights the “shockingly disproportionate harms” inflicted on LGBT people of color. The National Black Justice Coalition led the report, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, the National LGBTQ Task Force, and Freedom for All Americans in collaboration with the What We Know Project, a research portal at the Center for the Study of Inequality at Cornell University. It found “overwhelming consensus” that discrimination inflicts profound significant harm on LGBT people of color in various areas. Race-based bias leads to greater economic insecurity, poorer mental and physical health, and higher rates of suicidal thoughts. Get more on this story in this week's South Florida Gay News, on stands now.
