Abstract

This chapter introduces the topics of systemic and interpersonal violence against LGBTQ+ persons, a complex and multifaceted area that is marked by a variety of distinct but co-existing types of victimization. We describe this broad range of victimization, which spans from childhood to adulthood, covert to overt, and interpersonal to systematic, and discuss the cumulative effects of both acute and chronic victimization on the health and well-being of sexual and gender minority persons. We also highlight the importance of truly intersectional and culturally responsive care in working with LGBTQ+ clients who have experienced violence.
