Abstract
Purpose of Review
This paper examines recent research on bullying victimization among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth to identify critical issues and advocate for future research priorities.
Recent Findings
Recent studies have begun to document the importance of bullying in general, and bias-based bullying (rooted in stigma) in particular, on the health and well-being of this vulnerable subgroup of adolescents, as well as drivers of disparities. Current research demonstrates the importance of multiple, overlapping identities, key difference among LGBTQ youth, and the role of protective factors for youth who are the targets of bullying.
Summary
Researchers, clinicians, and those working with and on behalf of LGBTQ youth must measure and acknowledge the multiple reasons for which LGBTQ youth are the targets of bullying. Intervention and prevention efforts should focus on improving the supportiveness of the climates within which LGBTQ youth live.
