- This study used the minority stress model to examine whether having an intimate partner was related to lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) Service members’ mental health and level of minority stressors (i.e., outness and internalized homophobia). 238 LGB Service members completed questionnaires about their relationship status, mental health factors (e.g., anxiety symptoms, posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD]), minority stressors, relationship satisfaction (if they were partnered), and demographics (e.g., age, race). Overall, there were no differences in mental health between LGB Service members who were in an intimate relationship and those who were single.
