Abstract
Throughout history, the United States has enacted numerous federal and state policies that have greatly impacted the health and well-being of LGBTQ individuals by perpetuating structural stigma. This chapter starts by highlighting the inequities of structural stigma for LGBTQ people, arguing that there are limited data available about LGBTQ PoC. Next, the insidious impact of structural stigma on health is explored in this study, with findings highlighted for LGBTQ PoC, across a variety of diseases and social contexts. The chapter ends with key future directions, particularly state initiatives, that can positively impact LGBTQ PoC health.
