The present study also aims to investigate whether
The hypotheses for the present study include the following:
Hypothesis 1: Older LGB adults will have greater Internalized Homonegativity.
Hypothesis 2: Perceived Social Support from Family and Friends will mediate the relationship between age and Internalized Homonegativity.
