Conditional Love: Perceived Parental Religiosity And Self-Esteem In Lesbian Women, Sarah Teske
Scripps Senior Theses
There is a variety of research linking religiosity and internalized homonegativity with negative mental health outcomes in queer populations.

Significant positive correlational relationships between Gender Role Ideology and Gender Role Stress, between religiosity and Gender Role Ideology, and between religiosity and Gender Role Stress …
