Resumo(s)
Objectives: Examining Psychological Distress (PD) among older Portuguese gay and bisexual
men (GBM), and the mediator role of LGBT community connectedness (LGBTCC) of minority
stress variables on PD. Methods: We performed a mediation analysis with LGBTCC as mediator
between minority stress variables and PD with a sample of 110 elderly GBM. Results:
We found moderate PD levels; LGBTCC was a significant mediator between concealment of
sexual orientation and PD, but not between internalized stigma and expectations of rejection
and PD. Conclusions: More attention is needed to Older Portuguese GBM’s mental
health. LGBTCC is an important ameliorating factor for older GBM.
