In this Virtual Special Issue (VSI), we curate and discuss a set of 28 articles previously published in the American Journal of Community Psychology (AJCP) focused on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) communities. The purpose of this VSI is to bring visibility to this body of scholarship in AJCP and to reflect on how the strengths of our field have been used throughout this work in pursuit of supporting LGBTQ wellbeing. In this VSI, we first discuss articles that help to set the historical background for publications in AJCP. We then discuss papers under the broad themes of HIV/AIDS, identities within ecological context, and social activism among LGBTQ communities. We then reflect on opportunities for our field to further leverage our strengths in contributing to LGBTQ scholarship. Overall, this VSI celebrates the contributions to LGBTQ research already present in AJCP, and we hope inspires future contributions to the pages of AJCP and beyond.
在本期虚拟特刊（VSI）中，我们精心挑选并讨论了一组此前发表于《美国社区心理学杂志》（AJCP）的28篇文章，这些文章聚焦女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和酷儿（LGBTQ）群体。本期虚拟特刊的目的是让AJCP中的这一学术成果得到更多关注，并反思我们这个领域的优势在整个这项工作中是如何被用来支持LGBTQ群体的福祉的。在本期虚拟特刊中，我们首先讨论有助于为AJCP上的出版物奠定历史背景的文章。然后，我们讨论围绕艾滋病毒/艾滋病、生态背景下的身份认同以及LGBTQ群体中的社会行动主义等广泛主题的论文。接着，我们思考我们这个领域进一步利用自身优势为LGBTQ学术研究做出贡献的机会。总体而言，本期虚拟特刊颂扬了AJCP中已经存在的对LGBTQ研究的贡献，并且我们希望能激励未来为AJCP及其他刊物做出更多贡献。
