In the development of sexual and social identities in adolescence, dating plays an essential role. This process is particularly essential for young people of the sexual minority who confront extra obstacles to their identity development because of their oppressed position. The effects on the psychological well-being of young people of the sexual minority (i.e., symptoms of depression, anxiety, internal homophobia and self-esteem) in an ethnical diversity group of 350 young people (55% of men) aged 15-19 years, recruiting from three GLBT drop-in centers, have been analyzed. The SSR and OSR of young people have been studied throughout time using longitudinal data. Findings of multivariate regression show that SSR involvement was favorably connected to changes in male self-esteem and was adversely related to changes in female homophobia. We examine the impact for good development in sexual minority adolescent communities.
