Abstract
Microaggressions research regarding queer people has often used racially non-diverse samples. This study sought to determine the psychological effects of microaggressions on a racially diverse queer sample. Microaggressions and levels of stress and depression were positively correlated, as were occurrences of racially-targeted and queer-targeted microaggressions.
