Abstract
Marginalized communities have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19, including both racial/ethnic minority and sexual minority populations. To date, there has been little research examining the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at the intersections of marginalized identities. Furthermore, available national data on COVID-19 outcomes may obscure our understanding of region-specific outcomes, particularly in the U.S. South. Using an intersectional approach, we explore differences in worries over COVID-19, preventative behaviors, and COVID-19 outcomes in the early months of the pandemic in a diverse sample of LGBTQ people (N = 1076) living in Texas. Our findings indicated that LGBTQ Latinx people in Texas reported more COVID-19 related worries and adverse outcomes than non-Latinx LGBTQ people. These findings are in line with previous research that found that the increased risk to Latinx and LGBTQ populations in public health crises is often overlooked and can be attributed to many factors such as socioeconomic status, occupational propensity, disparities in physical health, and barriers to healthcare access. Furthermore, our findings suggest the necessity of utilizing an intersectional approach when examining the disproportionate burden marginalized communities face in public health crises.
