Abstract

The article presents a study which examines the psychological, social and demographic characteristics of self-identified lesbian, gay and bisexual adults in the U.S. in 2010. The study shows that all coupled lesbians and gay men had a same-sex partner and the big majority of coupled bisexuals are involved in a heterosexual relationship. It reveals that lesbians and gay men reported stronger dedication to a greater community involvement and identification and sexual-minority identity.
