Abstract
Despite existing research linking bisexuality to poorer health outcomes compared to gay and straight individuals, scholarship has largely neglected the unique vulnerabilities of Black bisexual men. The purpose of this research is to examine Black bisexual men’s reports of internalized stigma experiences with an intersectional framework. We utilize a purposive sampling method to target the engagement of Black bisexual men on a large anonymous social media platform. Our findings suggest that persisting stigmas of Black bisexual men, particularly related to hegemonic masculinity, heterosexism, and White supremacy, are underpinned by a matrix of domination seeking to retain the sub-status of Black sexualities. We end our article with a call for more intersectional models in Black LGBT mental health research. We extend the domains of stigma power as one possible strategy for future scholarship.
