Abstract
LGBTQ people with disabilities experience discrimination and marginalization on multiple levels. Discrimination occurs in society at large and within the LGBTQ community because of disability. Microaggressions are prevalent and the impact of inequalities are profound in employment, healthcare, and other human services. The purpose of this chapter is to explore and understand the impact of behavioral and cultural practices and competencies on social, vocational, and well-being of LGBTQ and sexual and gender minority persons with chronic illness and disability and mental illness. Information is presented on attitudes toward LGBTQ populations, intersectional theory and identity, disability in the LGBTQ community, workplace environments, and centering LGBTQ in a social context to create a culturally competent approach to service.
