Highlights Economic precarity was associated with poorer health among LGBTQ & GNC youth. This association was partially explained by minority stress and activism. Minority stress was linked to poorer heath, but also heightened activism. Engagement in activism was associated with fewer health problems. These associations varied based on intersections of both gender and race/ethnicity.
