Adolescent lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) romantic partners face the challenge of developing satisfactory relationships while managing stressors associated with being members of a stigmatized minority group due to their sexual minority status. The aims of this study were to explore and describe relationship dynamics among LGB adolescents that are in committed same-sex relationships in Portugal, to assess levels of satisfaction with their relationships, and to assess whether LGB oppression was associated with the likelihood of anticipating and experiencing problems within the relationship. A sample of 182 self-identified LGB adolescents (mean age = 17.89 years; SD = 1.99), completed an online survey consisting of various sociodemographic measures, a relationship dynamics questionnaire, a self-assessment of relationship satisfaction, and an adapted version of the Gay and Lesbian Oppressive Situations Inventory. Results show that participants were highly satisfied with their relationships, except those who were non-monogamous and less committed to their relationships. Participants showed moderate levels of LGB oppression situations, and, as demonstrated by the hierarchical multiple regression analysis, age (being older), having lower levels of commitment, and being exposed to higher levels of exclusion, rejection, and separation were strong predictors of lower levels of relationship satisfaction.
青少年女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋（LGB）情侣面临着诸多挑战，他们既要努力建立令人满意的恋爱关系，又要应对因性少数群体身份而遭受污名化所带来的压力。本研究旨在探讨和描述葡萄牙处于稳定同性恋爱关系中的LGB青少年的恋爱动态，评估他们对恋爱关系的满意度，并评估LGB所遭受的压迫是否与恋爱关系中预期出现问题及实际出现问题的可能性相关。182名自我认定为LGB的青少年（平均年龄 = 17.89岁；标准差 = 1.99）参与了一项在线调查，该调查包括各种社会人口统计学指标、一份恋爱动态问卷、一份恋爱关系满意度自评，以及一份改编后的同性恋压迫情境量表。结果显示，参与者对自己的恋爱关系高度满意，但那些非一夫一妻制且对恋爱关系投入较少的人除外。参与者所遭受的LGB压迫情况处于中等水平，并且，正如分层多元回归分析所示，年龄较大、恋爱投入程度较低，以及遭受更高程度的排斥、拒绝和分离，是恋爱关系满意度较低的有力预测因素。
