This qualitative study sought to confirm and expand on previous research on sexual orientation microaggressions--subtle discrimination in the form of verbal, behavioral, and environmental slights and indignities as defined by Sue (2010). The study had two primary research questions: Does the data from the sample validate Sue's (2010) typology of sexual orientation microaggressions? Beyond Sue's (2010) typology, are other themes/types of sexual orientation microaggressions present in the data? Using a focus group methodology, data was collected from a sample of self-identified non-heterosexual college students (N=12). Data analysis confirmed five previously identified themes from Sue's (2010) typology (Endorsement of Heteronormative Culture, Sinfulness, Homophobia, Heterosexist Language/Terminology, and Oversexualization) and demonstrated two new themes (Undersexualization and Microaggressions as Humor). The implications of sexual orientation microaggressions, along with limitations and future research directions, are discussed.
本定性研究旨在证实并扩展之前关于性取向微侵犯的研究——苏（2010）定义的言语、行为和环境怠慢和侮辱等形式的微妙歧视。该研究有两个主要研究问题：样本中的数据是否验证了苏（2010）的性取向微侵犯类型学？除了苏（2010）的类型学之外，数据中是否存在其他主题/类型的性取向微侵犯？该研究采用焦点小组方法，从自我认同的非异性恋大学生样本（N=12）中收集数据。数据分析证实了苏（2010）类型学中之前确定的五个主题（支持异性恋规范文化、罪恶感、恐同、性别歧视语言/术语和过度性行为），并展示了两个新主题（性取向不足和微侵犯作为幽默）。讨论了性取向微侵犯的含义，以及其局限性和未来的研究方向。
