Title
Counseling an LGBTQI+ Person of Color
Abstract
The intersectionality of ethnicity and affectional orientation is discussed within this chapter, with special attention given to specific challenges faced by queer people of color (QPOC). Four elements of African American culture that may negatively impact queer-identified persons are: heterosexism, masculinity, issues surrounding HIV, and the role of the Black Church. In Latin Americans, concepts of machismo and marianismo, Catholicism, familismo, and respeto, are discussed in terms of their impact on LGBTQI+ persons. Authors also discuss elements of Asian culture that will impact queer-identified Asians: stigma, complementarity, collectivism and conformity, and shame. The importance of culture specific counseling is underscored. © 2017 by the American Counseling Association. All rights reserved.
