Asian American sexual minority individuals (AASMI) face the challenge of navigating two identities as both a sexual minority and a racial minority. However, the research base examining AASMI dual-identities remains underdeveloped. In the current study, we investigated the link between AASMI dual-identity centrality and their health and wellbeing using a subsample of 303 AASMI drawn from the Social Justice Sexuality Project dataset (n = 4,953). We conducted structural equation modeling (SEM) to test our hypothesized model and used bootstrap analysis to test the indirect effects therein. Findings indicated strong support for our model, which theorized that dual-identity centrality among AASMI can act as a “double-edged sword” on their health, whereby the process worsens their health through increased discomfort in their racial/ethnic community while simultaneously improving it through increased outness. Implications for future research and new avenues of intervention efforts at improving AASMI health are discussed.
