Abstract

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) teens raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (CJCLDS) experience microaggressions in their religious contexts. Active Latter-Day Saint parents of LGBTQ+ teens also face microaggressions in their religious environments, despite not holding an LGBTQ+ identity. We examined the impacts of microaggressions and the coping strategies used by 19 dyads of LGBTQ+ teens and their Latter-Day Saints (LDS) parents to understand how current microaggression and minority stress theories map on to their experiences. Participants described feelings of anger, sadness, fear, disgust, and surprise as well as increases in relationship conflict due to microaggressions. Both parents and teens described religious doubt, disengagement from religion, and feelings of dis-belonging and disillusionment because of microaggressions. These findings may provide insight into the ways that minority stressors threaten the health and faith of LGBTQ+ teens and their families. Finally, participants reported using a range of coping strategies to buffer against the effects microaggressions, including social support, emotion-focused, problem-focused, meaning-making, and faith-based approaches to coping. Overall, parents and teens reported similar impacts and ways of coping with microaggressions, demonstrating how minority stress process may be at play on a family-systems level in the CJCLDS.

“像小刀一样,刺伤我”:耶稣基督后期圣徒教会对LGBTQ+青少年及其父母的微侵犯影响
在耶稣基督后期圣徒教会(CJCLDS)长大的女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和酷儿/质疑者(LGBTQ+)青少年在他们的宗教环境中经历过微侵犯。LGBTQ+青少年的活跃后期圣徒父母在他们的宗教环境中也面临着微侵犯,尽管他们没有LGBTQ+的身份。我们研究了19对LGBTQ+青少年及其后期圣徒(LDS)父母的微攻击和应对策略的影响,以了解当前的微攻击和少数群体压力理论如何映射到他们的经历。参与者描述了愤怒、悲伤、恐惧、厌恶和惊讶的感觉,以及由于微侵犯而增加的关系冲突。父母和青少年都描述了对宗教的怀疑,对宗教的脱离,以及由于微侵犯而产生的归属感和幻灭感。这些发现可以让我们深入了解少数派压力源是如何威胁LGBTQ+青少年及其家庭的健康和信仰的。最后,参与者报告了使用一系列应对策略来缓冲微侵犯的影响,包括社会支持、情感关注、问题关注、意义创造和基于信仰的应对方法。总体而言,父母和青少年报告了类似的影响和应对微侵犯的方法,这表明在CJCLDS中,少数民族压力过程如何在家庭系统层面上发挥作用。
