TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Psychological distress among sexual and religious minorities: an examination of power and privilege JO - Journal of gay and lesbian mental health A1 - Lefevor, G. Tyler A1 - Park, So Yeon A1 - Pedersen, Tyler R. SP - 90 EP - 104 VL - 22 IS - 2 N2 - Following intersectionality theory, this study was guided by the question of what is the influence of sexual identity, religious identity, and their intersection on mental health vis-à-vis power and privilege? Analyses of 64,271 participants from the Collegiate Center for Mental Health 2013-2014 database indicated that individuals identifying as heterosexual reported the least amount of psychological distress, followed by individuals identifying as gay/lesbian, bisexual, questioning, and sexual minority/other. Individuals identifying as Judeo-Christian reported less psychological distress than did individuals identifying with non-dominant religions or who were religiously unaffiliated. There was no interaction effect between sexual and religious identities.
