| Summary: | Intimate Partner Violence can affect the LGBT+ population with the same prevalence as their heterosexual peers. This study explored how outness and internalized homophobia in the LGBT+ population correlate with intimate partner violence. The Internalized Homophobia Scale, the Conflict Tactics Scale 2 and the Outness Inventory were applied to 48 gay, lesbian, and bisexual men, women and non-binary participants. Higher levels of outness were positively correlated with internalized homophobia and sexual coercion. Higher levels of internalized homophobia were negatively correlated with victimization in negotiations with a partner.
