Abstract

In a structural equation model of 2,401 lesbian and bisexual women, three variables of lesbian sexual identity were found to predict outness, which predicted lower psychological distress, which, in turn, predicted lower suicidality. The model held true for the subsamples of European-American and African-American women, and to a lesser extent for those of Latina, Asian-American, Native-American, and Jewish women.
