Abstract

Past studies indicate that lesbian, gay, bisexuals, or transgendered (LGBT) are at an elevated risk of physical, psychological and mental health isuues. This paper seeks to investigate if internalized homonegativity is correlated to depression. It discusses the bio-psycho-social factors that may lead to internalized homonegativity and how internalized homonegativity is formed.
