Mental Health of AAPI Youth in the LGBTQ+ Community | Dongxu Guo
Background:
In many East Asian cultures, being queer is still frowned upon by most of society. Many LGBT AAPI youths in North America experience unique challenges from being part of multiple minority groups. The traditional Asian cultural values are often at odds with positive and healthy expressions of LGBT identities. Therefore, they struggle with their sexualities, identities and mental health because of the pressures from their families.
