Black LGBT Health in the United States: The Intersection of Race, Gender, and Sexual Orientation focuses on the mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of health, and considers both risk and resiliency factors for the Black LGBT population. Contributors to this collection intimately understand the associations between health and intersectional anti-Black racism, heterosexism, homonegativity, biphobia, transphobia, and social class. This collection fills a gap in current scholarship by providing information about an array of health issues like cancer, juvenile incarceration, and depression that affect all subpopulations of Black LGBT people, especially Black bisexual-identified women, Black bisexual-identified men, and Black transgender men. This book is recommended for readers interested in psychology, health, gender studies, race studies, social work, and sociology.

Lourdes Dolores Follins and Jonathan Mathias Lassiter offer us a long overdue treatment of Black LGBT health in the United States, one that doesn’t shy away from our rich, varied, and intersectional tapestry by equally highlighting all constituents of the LGBT acronym. This offering honors all aspects of us through narratives, literature reviews, autoethnography, and both qualitative and quantitative methodologies that affirm our resilience as sexually and gender diverse descendants of the African diaspora. The words and recommendations provide us with considerations that highlight systems and affirmation, not just individual behaviors and pathology. The contributors to this collection paint a portrait of us, our communities, and our families as solutions instead of statistics. This book exalts our glorious resilience as Black LGBT and gender non-conforming peoples, and in doing so, provides us with a road map on how we can more effectively prioritize and celebrate our collective and individual health.
