This investigation examines the impact of homophobic stigmatization on the well-being of 17-year-old adolescents who were conceived through donor insemination and whose mothers enrolled before they were born in the largest, longest-running, prospective study of lesbian families, with a 93% retention rate to date. The data for the current report were collected through questionnaires completed by the adolescents and their mothers. The adolescents (39 girls and 39 boys) were queried about family connection and compatibility. They were also asked to indicate if they had experienced discrimination based on their mothers' sexual orientation. Adolescent well-being was assessed through the parental report of the Child Behavior Checklist/6-18. Forty-one percent of the adolescents had experienced stigmatization based on homophobia. Hierarchical, multiple-regression analyses revealed that stigmatization was associated with more problem behavior in these adolescents, but that family compatibility neutralized this negative influence. The results indicate that adolescents who have close, positive relationships with their lesbian mothers demonstrate resilience in response to stigmatization.
本调查研究了恐同污名化对通过捐赠人工授精受孕的17岁青少年幸福状况的影响，这些青少年的母亲在他们出生前就参与了规模最大、持续时间最长的女同性恋家庭前瞻性研究，迄今为止保留率为93%。本报告的数据通过青少年及其母亲填写的问卷收集。询问了青少年（39名女孩和39名男孩）关于家庭关系和融洽程度的问题。还询问他们是否因母亲的性取向而遭受过歧视。通过父母填写的儿童行为检查表/6 - 18来评估青少年的幸福状况。41%的青少年曾经历过基于恐同的污名化。分层多元回归分析表明，污名化与这些青少年更多的问题行为相关，但家庭融洽程度抵消了这种负面影响。结果表明，与女同性恋母亲关系亲密且积极的青少年在面对污名化时表现出了恢复力。
