女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋者也是少数种族/族裔（LGBT-POC），他们是一个受到种族主义和异性恋主义影响的边缘化群体。迄今为止，对这一人群的研究一直受到阻碍，缺乏一个测量工具来评估与这些机会的交叉点相关的独特经验。为了解决文献中的这一差距，我们进行了三个阶段。混合方法实证研究，以评估LGBT-POC之间的微攻击。LGBT有色人种微攻击量表是一个18项自我报告量表，评估少数民族LGBT成年人所经历的独特类型的微攻击。该措施包括三个分量表：（a）男女同性恋、双性恋和变性者社区中的种族主义。(b)种族/少数民族社区的异性恋。和（c）约会和亲密关系中的种族主义，这在理论上与先前关于种族/少数民族LGBT的文献一致，并具有很强的心理测量特性，包括与心理困扰和LGBT身份变量测量相关的内部一致性和结构效度。男性在LGBT-PCMS上的得分高于女性，女同性恋者和男同性恋者的得分高于双性恋女性和男性，亚裔美国人的得分高于非裔美国人和拉丁裔美国人。
Lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals who are also racial/ethnic minorities (LGBT-POC) are a multiply marginalized population subject to microaggressions associated with both racism and heterosexism. To date, research on this population has been hampered by the lack of a measurement tool to assess the unique experiences associated with the intersection of these oppressions. To address this gap in the literature, we conducted a three-phase. mixed method empirical study to assess microaggressions among LGBT-POC. The LGBT People of Color Microaggressions Scale is an 18-item self-report scale assessing the unique types of microaggressions experienced by ethnic minority LGBT adults. The measure includes three subscales: (a) Racism in LGBT communities. (b) Heterosexism in Racial/Ethnic Minority Communities. and (c) Racism in Dating and Close Relationships, that are theoretically consistent with prior literature on racial/ethnic minority LGBTs and have strong psychometric properties including internal consistency and construct validity in terms of correlations with measures of psychological distress and LGBT-identity variables. Men scored higher on the LGBT-PCMS than women, lesbians and gay men scored higher than bisexual women and men, and Asian Americans scored higher than African Americans and Latina/os.
