Gender-Sexuality Alliances (GSAs), which are student-initiated school clubs for LGBTQ youth and allies, can reduce victimization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth. This preregistered study identified heterogeneous correlates of GSAs, based on data from an anonymous survey of LGBTQ adolescents aged 13-17 years living in the United States (N = 10,588). In line with the healthy context paradox (Pan et al. [Child Development, 92, 2021, and 1836]), the presence of a GSA exacerbated associations between LGBTQ-based victimization and depressive symptoms, lower self-esteem, and lower academic grades-particularly in transgender youth. Inclusive settings, such as GSAs, might prevent increasing disparities by including tailored strategies to monitor and support more vulnerable, victimized LGBTQ youth.
性别性取向联盟（GSAs）是由学生发起的、面向 LGBTQ 青年及其盟友的学校俱乐部，它可以减少女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别和酷儿（LGBTQ）青年遭受的伤害。这项预先注册的研究基于对居住在美国的 13 至 17 岁 LGBTQ 青少年进行的匿名调查数据（N = 10,588），确定了 GSAs 的异质性相关因素。与健康环境悖论（Pan 等人，《儿童发展》，92，2021，及 1836）一致，GSAs 的存在加剧了基于 LGBTQ 的伤害与抑郁症状、较低自尊和较低学业成绩之间的关联，尤其是在跨性别青年中。包容性环境，如 GSAs，可能通过纳入针对性策略来监测和支持更脆弱、受伤害的 LGBTQ 青年，从而防止差距扩大。
