LGBTQ+ individuals experience victimization at higher rates than their heterosexual and cisgender counterparts and one in five hate crimes victims are targeted for their LGBTQ+ identity. In addition, studies point to a high prevalence of other forms of trauma, including discrimination, harassment, and housing insecurity. ICJIA researchers surveyed 212 LGBTQ+ victims who were Illinois residents about their experiences with trauma. Survey findings suggested LGBTQ+ victims had experienced an average of six victimization types, with sexual abuse as the most common type reported (77.8%), followed by family verbal abuse (67.9%), and stalking (63.7%). In addition, participants were more likely to have experienced discriminatory school and workplace discipline (36.3%) than other discrimination forms. Participants were more likely to indicate their experiences with hate-motivated victimization or discrimination were due to their LGBTQ+ identity than any other motivating factor (e.g., race/ethnicity). Among other potentially stressful experiences, participants were most likely to have been bullied (68.9%). An analysis of differences by LGBTQ+ identity revealed transgender/gender non-conforming were more likely to experience certain types of trauma, such as unfair medical treatment, than their cisgender counterparts, and gay/lesbian participants were more likely to lack stable housing than bisexual participants. Recommendations for how systems (e.g., education, child welfare), law enforcement, and employers can support LGBTQ+ victims and/or prevent additional trauma are provided and future research directions are discussed.
