Psychological research has shown the detrimental effects that overt heterosexism have on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) clients and on the psychotherapeutic relationship. However, the effects of subtle forms of discrimination, specifically sexual orientation microaggressions, have on LGBQ clients and the therapeutic relationship have not been addressed. This study used qualitative methodology to explore the phenomenon of sexual orientation microaggressions with 16 self-identified LGBQ psychotherapy clients. Results of this study support the existence of sexual orientation microaggressions within the therapeutic environment and provide a descriptive account of 7 sexual orientation microaggression themes, channels of microaggression communication, and the impact microaggressions have on therapy and clients.
心理学研究表明，公然的异性恋至上主义对女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和酷儿（LGBQ）客户以及心理治疗关系有不利影响。然而，微妙形式的歧视，特别是性取向微侵犯，对 LGBQ 客户和治疗关系的影响尚未得到解决。本研究使用定性方法探讨了 16 名自我认同的 LGBQ 心理治疗客户的性取向微侵犯现象。这项研究的结果支持治疗环境中存在性取向微侵犯，并对 7 个性取向微侵犯主题、微侵犯沟通渠道以及微侵犯对治疗和客户的影响进行了描述性说明。
