Abstract: The present study explored the relationship between intersectional microaggressions (racism and heterosexism) and psychological distress outcomes among a sample of 370 Black lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) adults. Additionally, social support from family, friends, and significant others was examined as potential moderators. Results showed that intersectional microaggressions were associated with greater depression, anxiety, and stress. Also, a significant moderating effect for family social support was found, suggesting that Black LGB adults with higher family social support reported greater levels of depression and stress as their microaggression experiences increased compared to those with less family social support. These results highlight the deleterious effects of intersectional microaggressions on the health of Black LGB adults and important clinical considerations pertaining to the role of social support. ***______{For Hard Copy, Please visit Library.}________*** Black LGB| Intersectionality| Microaggressions| Mental health| Social Support 0022-0167 https://doi.org/10.1037/cou0000684 https://doi.org/10.1037/cou0000684 240116 20240116114304.0
