Research on weight\u2010based victimization and sexual identity have been largely isolated from one another; little is known about the nature of weight\u2010based victimization in sexual and gender minority (SGM: eg, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) youth. Our study is the first to examine the nature, extent, and sources of weight\u2010based victimization in a large sample of SGM adolescents.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study utilized data from the <jats:italic>LGBTQ National Teen Survey<\/jats:italic>, a comprehensive online survey assessing victimization, school experiences, health behaviors, and sexuality\u2010specific experiences of SGM adolescents across the United States. The sample was composed of 9838 SGM adolescents (<jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>age<\/jats:sub>\u00a0=\u00a015.6\u00a0years).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Across diverse sexual orientation and gender identity groups, 44% to 70% of adolescents reported weight\u2010based teasing from family members, and 42% to 57% reported weight\u2010based teasing from peers. Approximately one\u2010third of adolescents reported these experiences from both family and peers. Weight\u2010based victimization was prevalent across body weight categories, particularly at highest (obesity) and lowest (underweight) extremes. Moreover, weight\u2010based victimization was prevalent across adolescents who endorsed established sexual identity labels (eg, gay, lesbian, bisexual) and emerging labels (eg, pansexual, asexual).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Weight\u2010based victimization, from family members and peers, is prevalent among SGM adolescents, across diverse body sizes and sexual and gender identities.
