The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between mental health outcomes, internalized heterosexism, and perceived racism on connection to the LGBTQ+ community. Responses from a diverse sample of LGBTQ+ participants of color (N = 665) were gathered and analyzed. A t test revealed that the monoracial and multiracial participants did not differ in regard to internalized heterosexism, though the two racial groups differed in regard to depression. A hierarchical linear regression analysis explored the unique links of depression, anxiety, internalized heterosexism, perceived racism, and the interaction of internalized heterosexism and perceived racism, with connection to the LGBTQ+ community. Internalized heterosexism was a significant and notable contribution to the variability of LGBTQ+ community connection for both racial groups. Future research should further explore racism within the LGBTQ+ community, and greater attention should be paid to the nuanced experiences of multiracial LGBTQ+ people.
