Studi have shown that gay men are at creased risk for anxiety and prsn due to social opprsn; rearch suggts that self-passn is posively associated wh life-satisfactn and emotnal rilience. Wh the ed of scriptive-rrelatn as the sole sign of the rearch unrtaken, the rult revealed that the lbian and gay stunts are satisfied terms of genr, year level and urse. This study evaluated the mediatnal role of nnectedns wh the gay men's and lbian women's muny on the relatnship between two mory strsors (ternalized homophobia and perceived sexual stigma) wh anxiety-prsive symptomatology and life satisfactn.

We examed whether gay, lbian, and bisexual (GLB) dividuals reported more iends than heterosexuals and whether they were ls likely than heterosexuals to engage iendships fed by genr homophily (i. Much of this rearch has emphasized the importance of close iendships for gay men and lbians bee they are at a greater risk for velopg adverse mental health out pared to their heterosexual unterparts [2, 5] and iendship may migate risks to mental health [6–7]. ” Biphobia impli that bisexual dividuals endure a unique suatn regardg iendships, given that many gay men, lbians, and heterosexual men and women regard the bisexual inty as an unstable one pared to more “legimate” inti—the dichotomo tegori of “gay” and “straight” [4, 10].

Gay men and lbians already do not nform to tradnal genred expectatns for romantic relatnships, and may be more fortable transgrsg agast genred expectatns for iendship [24].

SUPPORTIVE FACTORS OF JOB AND LIFE SATISFACTN: EMPIRIL EVINCE OM DISCLOSED LBIAN, GAY, AND BISEXUAL (LGB) WORKFORCE THAILAND

There is a stereotype that gay men and heterosexual women equently pair together for iendships and this is possible, part, due to the supposed asexual nature of the iendships [25–26]. Heterosexual women tend to exprs ls prejudice than heterosexual men towards gay men [27], and th cross-genr iendship for gay men may provi an opportuny for a larger social support work. Consistent wh this proposal, past rearch has found that heterosexual women are more likely than heterosexual men to report havg gay male iends who have e out to them [28].

Havg a wi work of close nfidants to affirm one’s inty may offset the adverse effects of mory strs, such as alg wh homophobic attus and discrimatory social stctur and norms [29]. We hypothized that heterosexual participants would report fewer iends than gay men, lbians, and bisexual men and women, but the effect size might be larger between heterosexual vs.

The 25, 185 participants who pleted the survey nsisted of 11, 924, heterosexual men, 387 bisexual men, 343 gay men, 220 lbian women, 511 bisexual women, and 11, 800 heterosexual women. Homophily lculated homophily for iendship type (exprsive, stmental, pannate) by takg the number of same-genr iends for each participant and subtractg the number of cross-genr iends for each participant.

For example, if a participant had 5 same-genr iends and 3 cross-genr iends on whom they uld unt to celebrate their birthday, their birthday homophily sre would be a “2.

The fdgs were partially nsistent wh the hypothis that homophily by genr would be ls mon among gay, lbian, and bisexual men and women than among heterosexual men and women.

We hypothized that iendship satisfactn and number of iends would be stronger predictors of life satisfactn for gay men, lbians, and bisexual men and women than for heterosexual participants. There were teractns of iendship satisfactn wh genr and wh the dummy d gay/lbian variable, suggtg that the importance of iendship satisfactn would vary across differg genrs and sexual orientatns.

Sexual orientatn differenc iendship ntrast to the hypothis that heterosexual participants would report fewer iends than gay men, lbians, or bisexual participants, regrsn analys revealed only small differenc when factors that vary wh sexual orientatn and number of iends were ntrolled. The largt difference was that gay men and lbian participants reported fewer same-genr iends than heterosexual participants to celebrate their birthday, but this difference was small (β =. Young adult gay men and young adult bisexual men showed no evince of homophily, and adult bisexual men showed homophily only one of the three aspects of iendship.

Inter surveys n yield a signifint advantage over probabily-based sampl, which typilly rult smaller sampl overall and therefore limed abily to exame gay, lbian, and bisexual participants separately. To our knowledge, this is the first study to provi prehensive parisons of the same-genr and cross-genr iendship works of gay men, lbians, and bisexual and heterosexual men and women. Although parative studi examg the iendships between the groups have tend to be gay, lbian, and bisexual men and women to the sgular tegory of “sexual mori” [39, 41], our sample was large enough to nsir iendship differenc across each genr and sexual orientatn separately.

Dpe a large body of lerature that suggts that gay men and lbians e their iendships differently [11, 42], we found that there are ed siari that should be emphasized. The greater reliance on iends among gay men, lbians, and bisexual men and women has been te of past horts due to historil ntexts and more prevalent homophobia—however, bee of the shift toward acceptance of GLB dividuals, the trends may not persist prent and future horts.
