LGBTQ+ youth endure health inequities resulting from stigma and would benefit from strategies that help them navigate unique developmental challenges. One promising strategy to address LGBTQ+ youths' health is augmenting parenting behaviors to support youth's adaptive strategies in the face of stigma. There remain limited conceptual frameworks and empirical focus on parenting LGBTQ+ youth. Adjacent research on racial-ethnic socialization—parental practices that communicate messages about race, ethnicity, and culture to children—offers compelling evidence for the protective influence of adaptive identity-based socialization strategies for racially and ethnically minoritized youth. In this commentary, we review the current conceptual perspectives of LGBTQ+ youths' family environment and discuss how lessons learned from racial-ethnic socialization scholarship inform advances in research and practice with LGBTQ+ youth and their families. Throughout, we offer suggestions for advancing scientific understanding of sexual orientation and gender identity-related socialization for LGBTQ+ youth and its potential impact on youth's development and well-being.

父母支持还不够：父母社会化理论如何推动 LGBTQ+ 青少年家庭研究、实践和健康

LGBTQ+ 青年忍受着因耻辱而造成的健康不平等，并将受益于帮助他们应对独特发展挑战的策略。解决 LGBTQ+ 青少年健康问题的一项有希望的策略是加强养育行为，以支持青少年面对耻辱时的适应策略。对于养育 LGBTQ+ 青少年的概念框架和实证关注仍然有限。种族-族裔社会化的相关研究——父母向孩子传达有关种族、族裔和文化信息的做法——提供了令人信服的证据，证明基于适应性身份的社会化策略对种族和族裔少数群体的青少年具有保护性影响。在这篇评论中，我们回顾了当前 LGBTQ+ 青少年家庭环境的概念视角，并讨论了从种族-族裔社会化奖学金中吸取的经验教训如何为 LGBTQ+ 青少年及其家庭的研究和实践的进展提供信息。在整个过程中，我们提出建议，以促进对 LGBTQ+ 青少年的性取向和性别认同相关的社会化及其对青少年发展和福祉的潜在影响的科学理解。
