Summary/Abstract: This article presents an empirical study carried out to evaluate and analyze COVID-19-related mental health burden and minority stress, marginalized social identities, and experiences of LGBTQ+ discrimination. Building my argument by drawing on data collected from ABC News, ACHA, ARI, ILGA-Europe, KFF, GWI, Harvard Medical School, HMN, NCAA, Pew Research Center, Statista, UNC School of Medicine, VMIAC, and Washington Post, I performed analyses and made estimates regarding the psychological consequences of COVID-19 among sexual and gender minority communities. Data collected from 5,700 respondents are tested against the research model. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate.
