Beschreibung: Much of the existing research has focused on how discrimination and exclusion negatively impact the inclusion, health, and well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, and queer (LGBTIQ+) people (often through the lens of minority stress literature). While this focus has been crucial in promoting depathologization and advocating for the decriminalization of LGBTIQ+ communities, legal reforms are a lengthy process, and we are currently facing a global backlash against LGBTIQ+ people.

Throughout history, LGBTIQ+ people have also actively built their own support networks, such as chosen families and LGBTIQ+ health centers, and have continually advocated for societal change. This bachelor?s thesis aims to examine how a strength-based perspective influences the inclusion, well-being, and health of LGBTIQ+ people, highlighting the resilience and positive factors within these communities.

Beschreibung: The lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex, and queer (LGBTIQ+) community comprises diverse subgroups distinguished by differences in sexual orientation, gender identity, sex characteristics, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, socio-economic status, and other factors. This bachelor?s thesis will examine health outcomes across these subgroups, identify existing barriers, commonalities and differences, as well as explore pathways to promote inclusive healthcare and improve health for all people regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics.
