女同性恋者、男同性恋者、双性恋者和泛性恋者(LGB+)患精神疾病的比例不成比例。少数民族压力和性认同污名被认为是LGB+心理健康差距的主要社会决定因素。文献中的讨论质疑在一个日益接受性少数群体的世界中，性别身份污名的影响。此外，美国南部的LGB+人口在美国的研究中经常被忽视。这篇文章详细介绍了一项定性研究，探讨了在美国南部认同为LGB+的成年人中与性身份污名相关的经历。对16个人的半结构化访谈采用内容分析法进行分析。参与者的经历产生了六类污名：(A)适应LGB+身份，(B)LGB+身份的社会可接受性，(C)预期LGB+污名，(D)人际歧视和骚扰，(E)结构性污名，以及(F)与女同性恋者、男同性恋者、双性恋者、变性人和同性恋者(LGBTQ)社区的关系。调查结果表明，在这些美国南部的参与者中，性别身份污名仍然是一种常见的经历。此外，主题类别和子类别基本上与现有理论一致，但有一个例外：社区内污名是LGBTQ社区产生的一种污名形式，是目前支撑这一人群心理健康差异的理论基础中没有考虑到的污名类型。
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and pansexual (LGB+) individuals have disproportionate rates of mental illness. Minority stress and sexual identity stigma are posited as the primary social determinants of LGB+ mental health disparities. Discussions in the literature have questioned the impact of sexual identity stigma in a world increasingly accepting of sexual minorities. Additionally, the LGB+ population in the United States South is often overlooked in American research. This article details a qualitative study exploring experiences related to sexual identity stigma among adults who identify as LGB+ in the United States South. Semi-structured interviews with 16 individuals were analyzed using content analysis. Six thematic categories of stigma emerged from participants’ experiences: (a) navigating an LGB+ identity, (b) social acceptability of an LGB+ identity, (c) expectation of LGB+ stigma, (d) interpersonal discrimination and harassment, (e) structural stigma, and (f) relationship with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community. Findings suggest that sexual identity stigma remains a common experience among these Southern United States participants. Further, thematic categories and subcategories primarily aligned with extant theory with one exception: Intracommunity stigma, a form of stigma emanating from the LGBTQ community, emerged as a stigma type not currently accounted for in theoretical foundations underpinning mental health disparities in this population.
