This qualitative case study explored whether the settlement and integration needs of racialized lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) newcomers were being met. A total of eight stakeholders, representing either a settlement organization or an LGBTQ-serving organization in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, participated in an invitation-only focus group discussion. Informed by intersectionality theory and using thematic analysis of memos and triangulated arts-informed visual recording, two overarching themes were identified: (i) challenges encountered in providing settlement and integration services; and (ii) solutions generated to improve their delivery. Preliminary findings suggested that the settlement needs of racialized LGBTQ newcomers were not being met; services were found to be sorely lacking; and settlement and LGBTQ providers lacked training, substantial knowledge, and resources to implement needed supports and services. However, stakeholders also envisioned the possibility of improved services for this population, such as adoption of an LGBTQ-affirmative practice. Implications and recommendations for settlement practices, programs, and future research are discussed.

这个定性案例研究探讨了种族化的女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别和酷儿 (LGBTQ) 新移民的定居和融合需求是否得到满足。共有八名利益相关者代表加拿大纽芬兰和拉布拉多的定居组织或 LGBTQ 服务组织,参加了仅限邀请的焦点小组讨论。在交叉性理论的指导下,并使用备忘录和三角艺术视觉记录的主题分析,确定了两个总体主题:(i) 在提供定居和整合服务方面遇到的挑战;(ii) 为改进其交付而生成的解决方案。初步调查结果表明,种族化 LGBTQ 新移民的定居需求没有得到满足;发现服务非常缺乏;定居点和 LGBTQ 提供者缺乏培训、大量知识和资源来实施所需的支持和服务。然而,利益相关者还设想了为这一人群改善服务的可能性,例如采用 LGBTQ 肯定的做法。讨论了对定居实践、计划和未来研究的影响和建议。
