ABSTRACT. Empirical evidence on COVID-19-related stressors and psychological symptoms among gender and sexual minorities has been scarcely documented in the literature. Using and replicating data from GMU/CCCC, Holmes et al. (2020), Ipsos MORI, LAC/DMH, LGBT Foundation, MQ, ONS, PHQ-9, Qualtrics, Rainbow Health Victoria, Statista, and YPCCC, I performed analyses and made estimates regarding the psychological effects of COVID-19 pandemic-related trauma among LGBTQ+ people. Descriptive statistics of compiled data from the completed surveys were calculated when appropriate.
