Abstract

The intersectional perspective allows to analyse the way in which multiple forms of identities (sex, gender, race, social class, education, age, immigration history, etc.) combine or intersect especially in the experiences of marginalized individuals/groups, impacting their health. Concerning sexual minorities, previous researchers examined the intersection between experience of minority stress and various forms of oppression using tools such as identity mapping (Narvaéz et al., 2009) or combining this method with qualitative approaches (Frost et al., in press) in order to understand the development of identity across the life course. Based on these previous studies, we developed a semi-structured interview which combines different component methods, to investigate the intersection between multiple stigmatized identities in sexual minority people migrated to Italy. The interview extends through three main sections: (1) multiple identities’ identification; (2) identities’ construction and change over the migration course; (3) interaction between ethnicity and sexual identity. An exploratory study to test the interview protocol was conducted with 16 participants with a sexual minority status and a migratory background. The three sections of the interview protocol prompted participants to reflect on the developmental trajectories of their life and the mutual influence between sexual minority status and migratory motivations.
