DescriptionThis study examined lesbian and gay couples in an attempt to understand associations among participants’ outness and a variety of outcomes: social support, self-esteem, relationship satisfaction, and sexual satisfaction. Participants were 144 gay and lesbian couples (N = 288 participants, M age = 33.74 years) from the Southern New Jersey and Philadelphia areas; the majority of the participants were White. Participants completed surveys assessing their outness as well as their health and wellness. Analyses used Actor Partner Interdependence Models; results revealed that both participants’ and their partners’ outness predicted their social support. No other actor, partner, or interaction effects were significant. These findings are discussed in terms of their possible applications for programming and interventions for LGBTQ+ people.
