This article studied homophobic victimization and victimization based on gender nonconformity and its effects on the school and psychosocial adaptation of young Quebecers. A non-probabilistic sample of 262 youth (173 girls, 89 boys) aged 14 to 22 years old (M = 17.9 y.o.) was built. Bivariate comparisons and structural equation modeling were performed. Young LGBTQ showed lower sense of security at school, lower self-reported school achievement and higher psychological distress. Results indicated that homophobic victimization, friend social support, psychological distress and sense of security at school mediated school achievement of the young LGBTQ. Findings support the importance of implementing interventions to reduce homophobia in schools and highlight the central role played by peers in this endeavor.

Recent studies suggest that traditional bullying, cyberbullying, and homophobic bullying lead to a low health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adolescents. The present study aims to analyze this, paying particular attention to homophobic bullying, based on the sexual orientation of 815 adolescents who were asked to fill in a self-report questionnaire. In heterosexuals, both homophobic victimization and victimization were inversely related to different dimensions of HRQoL (moods and emotions, and school environment, respectively).

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a pervasive issue among men who have sex with men (MSM).

This study examines relationships between IPV and negative minority stress experiences specific to LGBTQ individuals: overt experiences of homophobia, sexual orientation microaggressions, and internalized homophobia.
