Abstract

LGBTQ+ youth experience higher rates of interpersonal violence, such as peer-based bullying and identity-based harassment, than their counterparts. Experiences of victimization can occur across different social contexts including family, school, peers, and community. LGBTQ+ youth in rural communities may be at increased risk for identity-based victimization due in part to geographic isolation and an often conservative value system that may create a hostile environment to LGBTQ+ individuals. However, few studies have examined the experiences of rural LGBTQ+ youth from their perspectives, and how the rural context may affect their experiences with victimization and social support. This qualitative study explores the victimization experiences of rural LGBTQ+ youth, the supports available to them, and ways they show resilience. We conducted qualitative interviews with a sample of 11 young people ages 12-21, recruited in partnership with a local LGBTQ+ agency across a rural five county region in the Southeastern United States. Four themes emerged related to how rural youth navigate bullying, harassment, and victimization across different social contexts and the support that is available to them: (1) conflicting family messages, (2) navigating personal safety at school, (3) connecting through technology, and (4) confronting negative religious sentiment. A fifth theme captures the strengths of young people in the mid of victimization: (5) demonstrating individual and collective resilience. Although rural LGBTQ+ youth experience victimization in similar ways to urban and suburban youth, rural youth may have less access to social supports that buffer effects of victimization. This study highlights the strengths in rural LGBTQ+ young people as well as their commitment to supporting one another and seeing change in their communities. Findings illustrate a need for greater support for LGBTQ+ youth in rural areas while leveraging existing strength of the youth and their community for sustainable support and resources.

摘要

性少数群体青年经历更高的人际暴力率,如基于同伴的欺凌和基于身份的骚扰,比他们的同龄人。受侵害的经历可能发生在不同的社会环境中,包括家庭、学校、同伴和社区。农村社区的 LGBTQ+青年可能由于地理隔离和往往保守的价值观体系而面临更大的基于身份的受害风险,这可能会对 LGBTQ+个人造成敌对环境。然而,很少有研究从他们的角度探讨农村 LGBTQ+青年的经历,以及农村环境如何影响他们的受害和社会支持经历。这项定性研究探讨了农村 LGBTQ+青年的受害经历、他们可获得的支持以及他们表现出韧性的方式。我们与当地的一个 LGBTQ+机构合作,在东南部美国的一个农村五县地区进行了定性访谈,样本包括 11 名年龄在 12-21 岁的年轻人。四个主题与农村青年如何在不同的社会环境中应对欺凌、骚扰和受害有关,以及他们可获得的支持:(1)相互冲突的家庭信息,(2)在学校中保障个人安全,(3)通过技术建立联系,(4)面对负面宗教情绪。第五个主题抓住了年轻人在受害过程中的优势:(5)展现个人和集体的韧性。尽管农村 LGBTQ+青年经历的受害与城市和郊区青年相似,但农村青年可能获得的缓冲受害影响的社会支持较少。这项研究突出了农村 LGBTQ+青年的优势,以及他们支持彼此并看到社区变化的承诺。研究结果表明,需要为农村地区的 LGBTQ+青年提供更多支持,同时利用青年和社区的现有优势,为可持续的支持和资源提供支持。
