Abstract

Introduction
Lesbian and Gay People (LGP) and people of the Global Majority (GM) experience minority stressors. Identifying as a Lesbian and Gay Person of the Global Majority (LGP-GM) creates complex minority stressors.

Method
A thematic synthesis of 16 qualitative studies exploring LGP-GM experiences of minority stressors using the lens of Minority Stress Theory was conducted.

Results
Four analytical themes emerged: Intersectionality: Navigating the queer scene as an LGP-GM, Intersectionality: Navigating GM spaces as an LGP-GM, Internal intersectional identity conflict and Lack of connection to culture, religion, and others.

Conclusion:
Unique minority stressors are identified for LGP-GM, clinical implications and future research are discussed.
