Abstract:
This study examines the extent and impacts of digital microaggressions on 1,804 queer youth (aged 14–24). Nearly all experienced digital microaggressions, and for most these experiences negatively affected their health and feelings about being queer. Few respondents reported trusting adult professionals (e.g., school counselors, teachers) to help them.
