Abstract
Stigma was holistically modeled using latent profile analysis to identify subgroups of LGB adults (N = 1518, 812 women, Mage = 36.48) that experience stigma multidimensionally. Five stigma profiles were identified: Minimal, Context, Multilevel, Enacted, and Internalized. Environmental covariates predicted profile membership and specific profiles were associated with mental health.
