摘要

Human sexuality encompasses every aspect of our quiddity from attitudes, behaviors, and values to our lived experiences. The sexual and gender incongruence is often progressed through heteronormative principles in instances of social ostracization, discrimination and abuse. These varied heterosexist experiences pose repercussions to the behavioural outcomes of the LGBTQ+ people. The current study explores the impact of heterosexist experiences on constructs of behavioural outcomes among LGBT people in India. Utilizing an ex-post facto research design, 200 individuals identifying themselves as either of lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender identities were selected through non-probability purposive sampling. Statistical analysis of dataset reported that distress experienced through instances of heterosexist experiences across the lifespan progress towards the anti-social behaviours among the respondents. Gender expression, family of origin, vicarious trauma and victimization emerged as significant predictors of behavioural outcomes among LGBT people. Collates of the research impinged on existence of anti-social behavior which is fueled by Heterosexist Experiences among LGBT people. The results affirm the role of distress experienced by sexual and gender diverse people due to heterosexism in defining the trajectory of their responses. This creates an avenue for recognizing the impact of heterosexist exposure among the LGBT and implement necessary measures to abate their level of distress.
