The present study investigates microaggressions toward individuals in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) families. Microaggressions are subtle forms of discrimination experienced on a daily basis as verbal or behavioral slights against individuals in oppressed groups. LGBTQ microaggressions are often studied at an individual level and understood as being directed toward an individual based on perceived identity. The present study allows for an understanding of bias directed at the family system level. Participants included 46 adults who identified as being part of an LGBTQ family. Participants completed an online questionnaire and described their experiences of LGBTQ family microaggressions. Thematic analysis revealed that LGBTQ family microaggressions were salient to individuals across multiple family roles. Three specific themes emerged: family legitimacy, conflicts with family values, and gender violation within family. These findings highlight the way LGBTQ microaggressions are influenced by cultural notions of family and impact the family system.
本研究调查了针对女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和酷儿（LGBTQ）家庭中个体的微侵犯行为。微侵犯是日常经历的微妙形式的歧视，表现为针对受压迫群体中个体的言语或行为上的轻视。LGBTQ微侵犯行为通常在个体层面进行研究，并被理解为基于感知到的身份针对个体的行为。本研究有助于理解针对家庭系统层面的偏见。参与者包括46名自认为是LGBTQ家庭一员的成年人。参与者完成了一份在线问卷，并描述了他们在LGBTQ家庭微侵犯行为中的经历。主题分析显示，LGBTQ家庭微侵犯行为在多个家庭角色的个体中都很突出。出现了三个具体主题：家庭合法性、与家庭价值观的冲突以及家庭内部的性别侵犯。这些发现凸显了LGBTQ微侵犯行为受家庭文化观念影响的方式以及对家庭系统的影响。
