Abstract

The LGBTQ+ PCMS-2 can better account for mental health problems when tested against the current leading measure of intersectional microaggressions. Three key strengths of the LGBTQ+ PCMS-2 include the following: (a) It is the only intersectional microaggressions measure currently available to include all three forms of microaggressions faced by LGBTQ+ people of color (racism, heterosexism, and cissexism), (b) it introduces three novel domains of intersectional microaggressions, and (c) it has evidence supporting its wide applicability for LGBTQ+ people of color with diverse racial/ethnic identities, sexual identities, gender identities, and ages. The additions of these features make the LGBTQ+ PCMS-2 the most comprehensive and widely applicable measure of intersectional microaggressions to date.
