Abstract
Online video game communities can provide a sense of belonging and support for sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ+) adolescents while simultaneously being widespread with prejudice and discrimination. In addition, research shows that LGBTQ+ adolescents not only use pornography to experience sexual pleasure but also as a primary information source because they might receive little and inaccurate information on LGBTQ+ sexual activities in sexual education or from their family members.
