=== Queer communities === While the term ''triple oppression'' has typically been reserved to describe the plights of working women of color, the phenomenon of three intersecting social burdens has plagued gay men of color. Diaz et al.'s 1999 study, published in the ''[[American Journal of Public Health]]'', found that the combined impact of [[Homophobia in ethnic minority communities|homophobia]], racism, and poverty cause adverse psychological effects in Latino men, including low self-esteem, depression, sleeping problems, anxiety, and social alienation.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Diaz|first1=Rafael|last2=Ayala|first2=George|last3=Bein|first3=Edward|last4=Henne|first4=Jeff|last5=Marin|first5=Barbara|year=2001|title=The impact of homophobia, poverty, and racism on the mental health of gay and bisexual Latino men: Findings from 3 US cities|journal=American Journal of Public Health|volume=91 |issue=6|pages=927β932|doi=10.2105/ajph.91.6.927|pmid=11392936|pmc=1446470}}</ref> A factor that does not arise in typical analyses of triple oppression is HIV incidence, but this study concludes that HIV status as a source of social discrimination to the likes of race and class correlates with higher psychological symptoms. Gay men may benefit from [[male privilege]], but in any case, they too can experience a measure of oppression in the form of systemic homophobia, with incidents of violence, belittlement, familial disapproval, job discrimination and police harassment.
