(1) Background: This paper presents an analysis of the associations between minority stressors and activism in the population of lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals in Poland. (2) Methods: The cross-sectional online-based research was conducted among 192 lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people in two groups: activists ( = 51) and people not engaged in activism ( = 141). Four scales of the Sexual Minority Stress Scale were used: Internalized Homophobia, Expectation of Rejection, Concealment, and Sexual Minority Negative Events Scale. Activism was measured using the Activism Scale and a single item asking about belonging to an activist group. (3) Results: Activists, lesbians, and gays scored significantly higher in the Sexual Minority Negative Events than people not involved in activism and bisexual individuals. Attitude toward LGBT+ activism correlated weakly and positively with Sexual Minority Negative Events and Expectation of Rejection while negatively with Internalized Homophobia. The Network Analysis showed that positive attitudes toward LGBT+ activism, the expectation of rejection, and negative events in minority stress are the most influential variables in the network model, playing a crucial role in the interaction between particular dimensions of minority stress. (4) Conclusions: Prevention and intervention programs should focus on reducing minority stress, especially negative events and rejection, especially among lesbians, gays, and people engaged in LGBT+ activism. The cooperation of politicians, lawyers, social workers, and psychologists is required to decrease homophobia and the stigmatization of people representing sexual and gender minorities.
(1) 背景：本文分析了波兰女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋人群中少数群体压力源与维权行动之间的关联。(2) 方法：基于网络的横断面研究在两组共192名女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋（LGB）人群中进行：维权人士（n = 51）和未参与维权行动的人（n = 141）。使用了性少数群体压力量表的四个分量表：内化恐同症、被拒绝预期、隐瞒以及性少数群体负面事件量表。维权行动通过维权行动量表和一个询问是否属于维权团体的单项进行测量。(3) 结果：维权人士、女同性恋者和男同性恋者在性少数群体负面事件上的得分显著高于未参与维权行动的人和双性恋者。对LGBT+维权行动的态度与性少数群体负面事件和被拒绝预期呈微弱正相关，与内化恐同症呈负相关。网络分析表明，对LGBT+维权行动的积极态度、被拒绝预期以及少数群体压力中的负面事件是网络模型中最具影响力的变量，在少数群体压力的特定维度之间的相互作用中起着关键作用。(4) 结论：预防和干预项目应侧重于减少少数群体压力，尤其是负面事件和被拒绝的情况，特别是在女同性恋者、男同性恋者以及参与LGBT+维权行动的人群中。需要政治家、律师、社会工作者和心理学家合作，以减少恐同症以及对性和性别少数群体代表的污名化。
