One protective factor that is commonly explored is community-based involvement or one’s behavioral engagement with the LGBTQ+ community. Few studies specifically center the involvement of Black and Latinx LGBTQ+. Although scant, previous research suggests that there are underexamined complexities to the community-based involvement of Black and Latinx LGBTQ+ that relate to their multiple marginalized social identities and access to various identity-related communities. As an extension of previous research, the current study utilizes data from the 2010 Social Justice Sexuality Project to describe the community-based involvement of Black and Latinx LGBTQ+ Adults (N = 2,518) across three relevant community spaces (i.e., LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ BIPOC). Sociopolitical Involvement (SPI) – a type of community-based involvement – references one’s participation in social and cultural events that address community issues or concerns (Battle & Harris, 2013). Using Latent Profile Analysis (LPA), findings revealed six subtypes of SPI: LGBTQ+ Gateway Engager, Occasional Engagers, Intersectional Community Enthusiasts, Mainstream Engagers, Immersed Community Members, and LGBTQ+ Focused Affiliates. Intersectional Community Enthusiasts indicated a particularly unique pattern of SPI that related to significantly higher connectedness, religiosity/spirituality, sexual identity outness, and psychological well-being. Key findings exhibited the utility of considering multiple sites of community-based involvement when exploring the engagement behaviors of Black and Latinx LGBTQ+ Adults.","abstract_html":"Research and theory about the lived experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer+ (LGBTQ+) populations are often characterized by both stress and resilience.
