As I’ve grown to unrstand om my iends, fellow LGBTQ muny members, lleagu, and clicians, ternalized homophobia is what happens when we take the bias, prejudic, and hatred towards gay folks rerced by society (aka societal homophobia) and turn the bias ward back on ourselv.

Published fal eded form as:PMCID: PMC2678796NIHMSID: NIHMS59525AbstractWe examed the associatns between ternalized homophobia, outns, muny nnectedns, prsive symptoms, and relatnship qualy among a diverse muny sample of 396 lbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) dividuals. Theori of inty velopment among lbians, gay men, and bisexuals (LGB) suggt that ternalized homophobia is monly experienced the procs of LGB inty velopment and overg ternalized homophobia is sential to the velopment of a healthy self-ncept (Cass, 1979; Fgerhut, Pepl, & Hgavami, 2005; Mayfield, 2001; Rowen & Mallm, 2002; Troin, 1979; 1989). Rearch has shown that ternalized homophobia has a negative impact on LGBs’ global self-ncept cludg mental health and well beg (Allen & Olon, 1999; Herek, Cogan, Gillis, & Glunt, 1998; Meyer & Dean, 1998; Rowen & Mallm, 2002) rearch on ternalized homophobia and mental health has adopted a mory strs perspective (DiPlacido, 1998; Meyer 1995; 2003a).

For example, a strong sense of nnectedns to one’s mory muny n buffer the ill effects of mory and Dean (1998) have referred to ternalized homophobia as the most sid of the mory strs procs that, although stems om heterosexist social attus, n bee self-generatg and persist even when dividuals are not experiencg direct external valuatn. It is important to note that spe beg ternalized and sid, the mory strs amework lot ternalized homophobia s social orig, stemmg om prevailg heterosexism and sexual prejudice, not om ternal pathology or a personaly tra (Rsell & Bohan, 2006). Wh regard to romantic relatnships, Meyer and Dean (1998) monstrated that gay men wh higher levels of ternalized homophobia were ls likely to be timate relatnships, and when they were relatnships, they were more likely to report problems wh their partners than gay men wh lower levels of ternalized homophobia.

Internalized homophobia has been lked to poor relatnship qualy wh both male and female same-sex relatnships (Balsam & Szymanski, 2005; Otis, Rostosky, Riggle, & Hamr, 2006) regard to non-romantic relatnships, ternalized homophobia n affect the qualy of LGB dividuals’ iendships, faial relatnships, and other social relatnships. Higher levels of ternalized homophobia are associated wh greater sexual prsn, sexual anxiety, sexual image ncern, and fear of sexualy as well as lower levels of sexual teem and sexual satisfactn and are predictive of sexual problems among gay and bisexual men (Dupras, 1994; Meyer, 1995).

INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL HEMORRHOIDS AND GAY HEALTH (HOMOSEXUALY)

Distguishg Internalized Homophobia om Its Out and CorrelatRearchers have disagreed about what nstut ternalized homophobia and how is distct om associated nstcts (Currie, Cunngham, & Fdlay, 2004; Meyer & Dean, 1998; Nungser, 1983; Ross & Rosser, 1996; Shildo, 1994: Szymanski & Chung, 2001). Most signifintly, some have clud the fn of ternalized homophobia the gree to which the person is out about his/her sexual orientatn (we refer to this as “outns” here) and nnected to the LGB muny (Mayfield, 2001; Shildo, 1994; Williamson, 2000).

Also, some have nsired prsn and suicidal thoughts (Nungser, 1983; Shildo, 1994) as well as hopelsns about one’s future (Szymanski & Chung, 2001) as part of ternalized homophobia bee, as we showed above, the are often associated wh ternalized mory strs mol differs om the perspectiv that nceptualiz ternalized homophobia and outns as two separate mory strsors and muny nnectedns as a mechanism for pg wh mory strs.

AM I GAY?

Applyg the mory strs mol to unrstand how ternalized homophobia is distctly related to relatnship qualy is important given the lack of nsistency the field regardg associatns between outns, muny nnectedns, prsn, and relatnship qualy. Further, rearchers have yet to exame the unique ways which ternalized homophobia is related to relatnship problems LGB liv, pennt of prsive treatment of outns as an aspect of ternalized homophobia stems om psychologists’ view that g out is a posive velopmental stage LGB inty velopment (Cass, 1979).

But, we ntend, lack of outns should not be taken to dite the oppose and therefore should not be nceptualized as a part of ternalized homophobia (Eliason & Schope, 2007) out regardg one’s sexual orientatn follows self-acceptance, but even after pletely acceptg one’s self as lbian, gay, or bisexual, an LGB person may ci not to be out certa suatns. Th, lack of nnectn wh the muny is not necsarily a reflectn of ternalized homophobia and should be nsired as a separate nstct so that rearchers n tease apart the nstcts unrstandg their associatns wh relatnship associatns between ternalized homophobia, prsive symptoms, and relatnship qualy are obscured by nceptualizatns of ternalized homophobia that volve a nsirable amount of overlap wh prsive symptoms. The fdgs are acrdance wh the mory strs mol, which nceptualiz ternalized homophobia as a mory strsor which mental health problems cludg prsive symptoms (Meyer, 2003a), however, have empirilly studied whether or not ternalized homophobia and prsive symptoms are penntly related to relatnship qualy (Biss & Horne, 2005).

The fdgs suggt that ternalized homophobia may lead to creased prsive symptoms that, turn, rce relatnship Current StudyWe examed the associatn between ternalized homophobia and the qualy and closens of dividuals’ terpersonal relatnships wh iends and fay and wh romantic relatnships. We did not have specific hypoth regardg the effects of outns and muny nnectedns1 on relatnship problems (paths d and e), but we isolated the effects of the factors so that we uld exame the pennt effect of ternalized homophobia on relatnship problems.

MeasurInternalized homophobia (IHP) The IHP sle was origally veloped by Mart and Dean (1992) to asss the extent to which LGB dividuals reject their sexual orientatn, are uneasy about their same-sex sir, and seek to avoid same-sex attractns and sexual feelgs (Herek & Glunt, 1995; Meyer, 1995; Meyer & Dean, 1998). In a study of gay fathers, Sbordone (1993; as ced by Shildo, 1994) reported that this measure of ternalized homophobia signifintly rrelat wh another wily ed measure of ternalized homophobia: the Nungser Homosexualy Attus Inventory (Nungser, 1983). 24**------Connectedns to the LGB muny Communy nnectedns was asssed wh an 8-em sle, adapted om a 7-em muny hn sle ed the Urban Men’s Health Study (UMHS), a multi-cy study of gay men’s psychologil and physil health (Mills et al., 2001).

To aid participants answerg the qutns, they were read by the terviewer a fn of muny as ed the sle, which stated, “I don’t mean any particular neighborhood or social group, but general, groups of gay men, bisexual men and women, and lbians. Although there is no published data explicly addrsg the validy of this measure, the current study nnectedns to the LGB muny was signifintly negatively rrelated wh ternalized homophobia and outns (see Table 1) and signifintly posively rrelated wh the number of LGB-related muny or recreatnal groups participants were members of or active (measured by a 9-em checklist veloped by Mills et al., 2001 for the UMHS; r =.
