The Pulse Nightclub shooting is the deadliest act of violence against the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community in U.S.
After the shooting, communities came together to process the violence and grieve the victims. Conceptualizing the Pulse Nightclub shooting as a cultural trauma, this article examines the impact of the shooting on gay, bisexual, and queer (GBQ+) Latinx men and how these men coped following the Pulse Nightclub shooting.
Semistructured qualitative interviews were conducted with Latinx gay, bisexual, and queer men in the United States. Transcripts were analyzed with thematic analysis.
The interviews ( = 10) revealed five main themes related to distress, coping, and belonging.
Cultural trauma events impact community members who share identities with the direct victims. Our findings suggest that after experiences of cultural trauma, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer Latinx individuals may seek collective-level coping strategies, even when they are not directly targeted.

奥兰多脉动夜总会枪击案是美国针对女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者及酷儿群体最致命的暴力行为。
枪击案发生后,各社区团结起来应对暴力并哀悼受害者。本文将奥兰多脉动夜总会枪击案视为一种文化创伤,探讨了该枪击案对男同性恋、双性恋及酷儿(GBQ+)拉丁裔男性的影响,以及这些男性在枪击案后的应对方式。
对美国的拉丁裔男同性恋、双性恋及酷儿男性进行了半结构化定性访谈。采用主题分析法对访谈记录进行分析。
访谈(n = 10)揭示了与痛苦、应对和归属感相关的五个主要主题。
文化创伤事件会影响与直接受害者有相同身份的社区成员。我们的研究结果表明,经历文化创伤后,女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别及酷儿拉丁裔个体可能会寻求集体层面的应对策略,即便他们并非直接目标对象。(《心理学文摘数据库记录》(c)2025美国心理学会,保留所有权利)
