Abstract

Myriad health inequities that sexual minority youths (SMYs) experience have been documented over the past several decades. Evidence demonstrates that these are not a result of intrinsiccharacteristics; rather, they result from high levels of adversity that SMYs experience. Despite thepervasive marginalization that SMYs face, there is also evidence of great resiliencewithinthis population. It seems likely that if a culture of marginalization produces health inequitiesinSMYs, acultureof acceptance and integration can work to produce resiliencies. We have described how promoting forms of acceptance and integration could work to promote resilient SMYs despite an overarching culture of marginalization. Building on SMYs' resiliencies may potentiate the effectiveness of health promotion interventions to reduce health disparities within this population.
