美国的大多数宗教环境都不承认同性恋。我们调查了暴露于非肯定宗教环境与内化同性恋恐惧症和心理健康之间的关系在纽约市的lgbbs样本。在少数派压力理论的指导下，我们假设暴露在非肯定的宗教环境中会导致更高的内化同性恋恐惧症，更多的抑郁症状，更少的心理健康。我们假设黑人和拉丁裔同性恋者比白人同性恋者更有可能参与非肯定宗教环境，因此比白人同性恋者有更高的内化同性恋恐惧症。参与者是通过以社区为基础的场所抽样招募的355名同性恋者，平均分为黑人、拉丁裔和白人种族/族裔群体，以及每个种族/族裔群体内的男女和年龄组。结果支持了我们的一般假设，即不肯定宗教与较高的内化同性恋恐惧症有关。非肯定宗教对心理健康没有主要影响，这是我们讨论的一个意外发现。拉丁美洲人，而非黑人，比白人有更高的内在同性恋恐惧症，正如预测的那样，这是由他们更多地接触非肯定宗教所介导的。
Most religious environments in the U.S. do not affirm homosexuality. We investigate the relationship between exposure to non-affirming religious environments and internalized homophobia and mental health in a sample of LGBs in New York City. Guided by minority stress theory, we hypothesized that exposure to non-affirming religious settings would lead to higher internalized homophobia, more depressive symptoms, and less psychological well-being. We hypothesized that Black and Latino LGBs would be more likely than White LGBs to participate in non-affirming religious settings and would therefore have higher internalized homophobia than White LGBs. Participants were 355 LGBs recruited through community-based venue sampling and evenly divided between Black, Latino, and White race/ethnic groups, and between women and men and age groups within each race/ethnic group. Results supported our general hypothesis that non-affirming religion was associated with higher internalized homophobia. There was no main effect of non-affirming religion on mental health, an unexpected finding we discuss. Latinos, but not Blacks, had higher internalized homophobia than Whites and, as predicted, this was mediated by their greater exposure to non-affirming religion.
