Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered (LGBT) people continue to experience various forms of oppression and discrimination in North America and throughout the world, despite the social, legal, and political advances that have been launched in an attempt to grant LGBT people basic human rights. Even though LGBT people and communities have been actively engaged in community organizing and social action efforts since the early twentieth century, research on LGBT issues has been, for the most part, conspicuously absent within the very field of psychology that is explicitly focused on community research and action--Community Psychology. The psychological and social impact of oppression, rejection, discrimination, harassment, and violence on LGBT people is reviewed, and recent advances in the areas of LGBT health, public policy, and research are detailed. Recent advances within the field of Community Psychology with regard to LGBT research and action are highlighted, and a call to action is offered to integrate the knowledge and skills within LGBT communities with Community Psychology's models of intervention, prevention, and social change in order to build better theory and intervention for LGBT people and communities.
尽管为赋予女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和跨性别者（LGBT）基本人权已在社会、法律和政治方面取得了进展，但LGBT群体在北美乃至全世界仍继续遭受各种形式的压迫和歧视。自20世纪初以来，LGBT群体及其社区就一直积极参与社区组织和社会行动，但在明确专注于社区研究与行动的心理学领域——社区心理学中，对LGBT问题的研究在很大程度上却明显缺失。本文回顾了压迫、排斥、歧视、骚扰和暴力对LGBT群体的心理和社会影响，并详细介绍了LGBT健康、公共政策及研究领域的最新进展。文中强调了社区心理学领域在LGBT研究与行动方面的最新进展，并呼吁采取行动，将LGBT社区的知识和技能与社区心理学的干预、预防及社会变革模式相结合，以便为LGBT群体及其社区构建更完善的理论和干预措施。
