Abstract
We examined everyday discrimination, social support, and social well-being in 70 Black LGB adults (M=37) recruited through Gallup using validated scales (α=.82-.92). Discrimination(B=-.394, p=.001) and support(B=.368, p=.001) independently predicted well-being, explaining 34% variance. Results indicate culturally responsive interventions must address both systemic discrimination and social support for multiply-marginalized populations.
