“…Although relatively less common, some participants also reported instances of homophobia, racism, and objectification on GSN apps. This is consistent with previous studies showing the high prevalence of discrimination and microaggressions within the online LGBTQ community that affects both youth and adults especially those of color (Gleason et al, 2023; Meanley et al, 2020; Owens et al, 2023; Stacey & Forbes, 2022). These experiences could have a long-lasting impact on adolescents’ development.…”

“…For instance, LGBQ people of color often experience racialized sexual discrimination (i.e., the sexual and romantic rejection of people who are members of certain racial groups; Han, 2007 ), which may drive CSBD symptoms. Past research indicates that sexual minority men of color, particularly Black and Asian men, are more likely to experience sexual or romantic rejection based on their race compared to White sexual minority men ( Callander, Holt, & Newman, 2016 ; Gleason, Serrano, Muñoz, French, & Hosek, 2022 ; Han & Choi, 2018 ). Recent research found that aspects of racialized sexual discrimination were associated with lower self-esteem and, in turn, lower life satisfaction ( Thai, 2020 ).…”

Background and aimsSince the inclusion of Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) in the International Classification of Diseases (11th ed.), there has been little effort placed into developing clinical recommendations for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) clients with this condition. Thus, we develop preliminary clinical recommendations for mental health professionals working with LGBQ clients who may be struggling with CSBD.MethodsThe present paper synthesizes the CSBD literature with advances in LGBQ-affirming care to develop assessment and treatment recommendations. These recommendations are discussed within the context of minority stress theory, which provides an empirically supported explanation for how anti-LGBQ stigma may contribute to the development of mental health conditions in LGBQ populations.ResultsAssessment recommendations are designed to assist mental health professionals in distinguishing aspects of an LGBQ client's sociocultural context from CSBD symptomology, given recent concerns that these constructs may be wrongly conflated and result in misdiagnosis. The treatment recommendations consist of broadly applicable, evidence-based principles that can be leveraged by mental health professionals of various theoretical orientations to provide LGBQ-affirming treatment for CSBD.Discussion and ConclusionsThe present article provides theoretically and empirically supported recommendations for mental health professionals who want to provide LGBQ-affirming care for CSBD. Given the preliminary nature of these recommendations, future research is needed to investigate their clinical applicability and efficacy.

“…Young sexual minority populations use dating apps and websites at higher rates than their older and heterosexual counterparts, and use of such platforms has been increasing over the past decade [ 1 , 2 ]. Sexual minority men of color face frequent discrimination on these dating apps and websites, a phenomenon referred to as Racialized Sexual Discrimination (RSD) [ 3 , 4 ]. RSD is a multidimensional construct that encompasses a variety of racially mediated discriminatory experiences—such as overt and covert rejection on the basis of race, and the positioning of White men as superior or more desirable than other racial/ethnic minority groups—all of which have been well-documented in the literature [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”

Online Dating and Mental Health among Young Sexual Minority Black Men: Is Ethnic Identity Protective in the Face of Sexual Racism?

Racialized Sexual Discrimination (RSD), also known as ‘sexual racism,’ is pervasive within online dating venues. RSD is associated with poor mental health outcomes among young sexual minority Black men (YSMBM), and there is limited research on factors that may mitigate this association. Ethnic identity has been identified as a potential protective factor for racial/ethnic minorities who encounter racialized stressors, though some evidence suggests that ethnic identity may also intensify the negative effects of racial discrimination. Using data from a cross-sectional web-survey of YSMBM (n = 690), a series of linear regression models were estimated to examine the moderating effect of ethnic identity search and ethnic identity commitment on the relationship between RSD and depressive symptoms/feeling of self-worth. Results indicated that having moderate-to-high scores on commitment attenuated the association between being physically objectified by White men and higher depressive symptoms. However, having high scores on commitment intensified the association between being rejected by Black men and lower feelings of self-worth. Stronger identity commitment may be protective against objectification from White men, though it may also exacerbate negative outcomes related to in-group discrimination. These findings may have important implications for the development of individual and group-level interventions addressing ethnic identity among YSMBM.
