N2  - We assessed among a sample of 724 Dutch lesbian, gay, and bisexual-identified adults (Mage = 31.42) whether experiences with homophobic stigmatization and internalized homophobia simultaneously mediated the relation of gender nonconformity with mental health. <br><br>RESULTS indicated that homophobic stigmatization and internalized homophobia partially mediated the relation between gender nonconformity and mental health.
