For same-sex love partners, the challenge of establishing a healthy relationship while dealing with the stresses associated with being members of a stigmatized minority group is particularly tough to overcome. The purpose of this research was to investigate the link between two potential sources of minority stress in lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people (internalized homo-negativity and sexual orientation self-concealment) and changes in relationship commitment variables in LGB individuals (constraints, attractions, and satisfaction). Throughout the research, 51 LGB college students who were in a same-sex dating relationship with the same individual completed questionnaires at two different periods in time, six weeks apart from one another on the same day. Reduced attraction and pleasure in romantic relationships, but not limitations, were shown to be associated with higher levels of internalized homo-negativity at the outset. In contrast, the early levels of self-concealment were not associated with any of the factors studied in this study.
