Abstract

Using latent profile analysis among 526 queer adults, we identified three authenticity and well-being profiles. Bisexual individuals were more likely to have a low queer authenticity profile, characterized by low community connectedness and greater internalized heterosexism. Findings highlight distinct resilience processes for bisexual people and a need for bi-affirming interventions.
